A warm, sunny day of spring skiing at Wildcat (across the street from Mt. Washington):

At the legendary Fun Spot arcade in Weirs, NH, where dozens and dozens of classic video and pinball machines are lovingly restored and available to play. Fun Spot was also the location for much of the 2007 documentary, The King of Kong.

Last night, I took an hour and a half to get Visual Pinball setup on my computer. If you’ve ever used the MAME emulator to play classic arcade games on your computer, you can understand that Visual Pinball (in combination with VPinMAME) is used to play pinball on your computer. I stayed up past my bedtime playing my all-time favorite, Addams Family.

I can’t believe that after so many years of playing my arcade game favorites like Mr. Do, Ms. Pac-Man, Punch Out, Puzzle Bobble, and NBA Jam Tournament Edition, I’d never checked out Visual Pinball.
