The Pinball Master’s Blog

Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Nathan Diniz. I currently live in Mobridge, SD with my brother. Ever since I got my first Nintendo Entertainment System when I was little, my parents, and the rest of my family had trained me to be competitive when it came to playing games. For some reason unknown to me, as I got older, I leaped into the world of arcades and naturally, some arcades are better than others. There is an arcade about 100 miles away from me and this place is called Retrocade. All the games, except for air hockey, and a crane game or two are either 25¢ or 50¢ depending on which era they were made in. Most if not all the games are in extremely good condition. Saturday will be my first official visit since the middle of May this year. I happen to be quite the pinball player. There are plenty of pinball machines and video games to play. Too bad they’re only open on late Friday afternoons and early Saturday afternoons. Still, having the opportunity to match wits with others who share their love of gaming, you can’t beat the thrill of earning a high score and playfully dethroning someone such as a friend of yours.
