Entry No. 4 — the San Francisco file — filed under: pinball

Pacific Pinball Museum

Five chronological rooms trace pinball from a rare 1936 Art Deco Bally 'Bumper' machine through the 1947 Gottlieb 'Humpty Dumpty' — the first game ever built with flippers — up to the present, all inside a converted building, with every machine on the floor set to free, unlimited play.

The move: Buy the day wristband, split up and race backward through a century of machines, then settle bragging rights on 'Humpty Dumpty' itself.
