This past week marked another visit to Cidercade in Houston, which was incidentally my first since they remodeled to add a kitchen. For better or worse, on this trip I did not get to try out said kitchen. I instead opted to eat dinner before arrival.

This wasn’t one of my better arcade visits, especially in the pinball department. I never got too much going except for one game of John Wick (Pro) and one game of Stranger Things. Something I’m noticing is that at least a couple of games were set to have rather tight tilts (a.k.a. “gesund-tilt”), among them Avengers: Infinity Quest. I think I was able to finish one ball out of two whole games without tilting, thus the anemic score (the better of two attempts, admittedly not by a lot). Balancing this out was one of my better runs on Frogger, a reasonable score on “Congorilla” (Donkey Kong bootleg/hack, which plays all four stages from the first round), a decent run on Turbo, and one of my better runs on Scramble.
