All The Pinball and Arcade Games You Can Play in Hendersonville

June 28, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Appalachian Pinball Museum

When you are visiting Henderson County take some time in Hendersonville, North Carolina to visit the Appalachian Pinball Museum . The Appalachian Pinball Museum has a collection of both vintage & contemporary pinball machines as well as video games that you can play for one low cost of $10/day. The Appalachian Pinball Museum is open from 1 to 6 p.m. Monday and closed Tuesday and it’s open from 2 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, from noon to 9 p.m. Saturday and from 1 to 6 p.m. Sun.

As you walk in the Appalachian Pinball Museum you will find that you are greeted in the museum itself by some very old pinball machines. Each machine that you see has a card on top of it that tells when the game was released and the number of machines that were made. While the vast majority of games are pinball machines, you will be surprised to find how many different pinball games there were and each was quite different than the others.

The Appalachian Pinball Museum also has a number of Arcade games as well. The Arcade Games brought me back as many of them are ones that I played a ton when I was young.

All of the games are set for unlimited play. Once you have paid your $10 fee for all day you can come and go as you please and play for as long as you want.

My whole family had a ton of fun exploring so many games that we had never played before. The Appalachian Pinball Museum is so much fun. Whether you are trying to escape a rainy day or just want to spend some time just having fun, this museum is definitely one that I would highly recommend to all!

Holiday Gift Guide – PINBALL FX3 on Nintendo Switch

December 16, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Pinball FX3

Experience what happens when the biggest, community-driven pinball game, Pinball FX3, collides with the revolutionary capabilities of the Nintendo Switch console – the excitement is real!

Exclusive Nintendo Switch Features Include:

  • HD Rumble support: Now it feels like you’re holding an actual pinball table in your hands, complete with all the delightful clicks and jerky movements
  • Vertical play orientation: Creates an arcade-like perspective while in handheld mode

Since 2007, Zen Studios has set the standard for video game pinball. The Pinball FX series
balances authentic physics and gameplay mechanics with features that fully embrace the
unlimited potential of video games, such as spectacular visual sequences and unparalleled
competitive features.

  • Now every table is an RPG. Simply playing a table yields experience points and level advancements that continually unlock the potential for bigger points…and bigger blowouts of your friends’ scores on the leaderboards. Strategic thinking comes into play when determining which power-ups to equip—one table might be best suited for a Skillshot Score Increase and Multiball Score Bonus, while another might better
    benefit from Combo Time Bonus and Distance Bonus team-up.
  • Players level up. The more you play, the higher your own personal experience level increases.
  • Anyone can start their own tournament. In addition to tournaments run by Zen (often involving fantastic prizes), Pinball FX3 allows players to create and customize their own tournaments, including access to several modes of play.
  • Advanced multiplayer features allow for intelligent matching against others based on skill level. This applies to everything from immediate friendly matches to ultracompetitive League Play.
  • Cross-play enables Nintendo Switch players to take on opponents competing on most other platforms where Pinball FX3 is available.
  • New game modes will change the way you play even tables you feel you’ve already mastered. Playing a 1-Ball Challenge, a 5-Minute Challenge or Survival Mode will cause you to completely rethink your approach in order to top the leaderboards.

Pinball FX3

The complete table list available at launch is as follows:

  • Universal Classics™ Pinball (Back to the Future™, E.T.™, Jaws™)
  • Aliens vs. Pinball (Aliens, Alien vs. Predator, Alien: Isolation)
  • Balls of Glory (Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers, Archer, American Dad!)
  • Portal
  • The Walking Dead
  • Sorcerer’s Lair (free)
  • Carnivals and Legends (Adventure Land Pinball, Son of Zeus)
  • Zen Classics (Shaman, Tesla, El Dorado, V12)
  • Core Collection (Pasha, Rome, Biolab, Secrets of the Deep)
  • Medieval Pack (Epic Quest, Excalibur)
  • Sci-Fi Pack (Mars, Paranormal, Earth Defense)
  • Iron & Steel (Wild West Rampage, CastleStorm)
