We found ourselves at Lievestuore after the bitter disappointment of their amusement park's arcade. At this point we were closer to #Tampere than home, so we headed out to see how the Särkänniemi amusement park's new hobbyist run arcade fares. Now this was more like it. The old dolphinarium waiting area had been converted into one long lineup of pins and vids. The games were mostly 90s, but with some more modern ones and couple of classics in the mix. Everything ran with tokens, that were sold at the cafeteria. My only gripe was that the pins took 2 tokens each, with the base token price being at 1.5€, although the price went down if you bought them in bulk. The games were all relatively clean and obviously maintained, with very little issues in them, a lot better situation than with your average bar machine. #arcade #pinball #sarkanniemi #finland

    As I walked in, I couldn't believe my eyes! It was my old Continental Magic Game bingo pin! I brought this thing back from the dead years ago, which sure was an adventure with all of its security features and stuff in place. A shame to see it was no longer either functional, or the people running the place didn't want to poke the bear by having an active gambling machine on the floor. Anyway, good to see you, old friend. #pinball
