So on the morning of March 18 I get a text about my free admission rewards at Cidercade expiring in three days. Ordinarily I wouldn’t have dragged myself out to Cidercade this late on the night before I’m set to drive up to Frisco for the Texas Pinball Festival, and after a day on which I have to get a ton of work done to boot. But, it was a good excuse to get in some last minute pinball practice, though most of the games I played were not part of the tournament lineup.

Given the hour and my state of relative exhaustion, a lot of these scores weren’t all that great. I actually wound up playing quite a few video games before going back to pinball at the end of the night. I feel like despite this being a somewhat abbreviated visit, I got what would have been $12 worth of play out of it.

Highlights: 68.4M+ on Iron Maiden, 43.9M+ on Led Zeppelin, 101M+ on Star Wars. 47.7M+ on Metallica Remastered, 146M+ on Game of Thrones (Premium/LE, I forget which).
