Made an animated gif of the arcade…

Invited some people over to check out the new Ghostbusters and enjoy a night of pinball.

Some footage of the new Ghostbusters game. Pay special attention to the magnet “ghost” slings.
Ghostbusters LE
My Ghostbusters LE has arrived. This is a brand new 2016 pinball but based on the original 80s movies.
Wizard Mode Premiere
The world premiere of the new pinball documentary featuring 2016 PAPA World Champion Robert Gagno took place in Toronto. Robert & his father Maurizio were invited to visit Frolic’s Arcade, and they came with the filmmakers of Wizard Mode to play some pinball.
A feature article for Pinball News covered the visit and the premiere.

Mirrors & Crazy Lights
I had a vision for installing a floor to ceiling mirror at the far wall of my arcade game room. Had it professionally installed. Literally makes the room look twice as long. The room is 40′ long, currently with 14 pins along the wall.
I also installed LED lights along the top, which run along the 3 other walls and are mirrored, creating the super long room effect.
Even when you are standing in the room, knowing you are looking at a mirror, it still confuses you.
Game of Thrones LE
Latest addition to Frolic’s Arcade: Game of Thrones LE. This was the first LE delivered in the world!
Next charity night
Our last charity night was a success, having raised over $1000, so we are doing it again. Hopefully my Game of Thrones LE will be here in time!

It is also a fundraiser for the Geneva Centre for Autism, which is a great resource for families with autism providing family education and support, social skill building groups, an early intervention program, behaviour/communication analysis and intervention planning, parent, sibling and peer support groups, family resource services, adult support groups, respite and so much more.
All games will be on token play with 100% of all money raised donated. I will be donating all machines, upkeep and also snacks. Water and soft drinks will be $2. I hope that it raises a lot of money.

Ordering some t-shirts. Some with optional STAFF on the back. Must be worn with cut-off jeans or track pants.
Pac Man’s Arcade Party
While I’m primarily a pinball arcade, I did have room for 1 upright arcade machine. I looked at multi-cade units but settled for a licensed Namco Pac Man machine featuring 13 licensed Namco games, set for coin-op play. The cabinet fit perfect near the entrace with the jukebox, fridge and token machine.
