Sweet jebus, this thread has been revived again! (I havent been on here in a long time, needed a pinball fix fast and this is the first google hit for 'Pinball in Melbourne').

They've recently taken out the pinballs in Strike near QV (World Cup '94) and the pool place downstairs in Burke St Mall (Monster Bash), so I'm struggling to find anywhere to play of a lunchtime. Will checkout FluidOz tomorrow. Any others in the CBD people know of?

Locally, which is now inner west, the Exchange Hotel has a fairly slow playing due to wear Scared Stiff. Maybe a 6.5/10 for playability (the spider doesnt spin for one). The fact that Friday I'm In Love is also on there each week adds to the win.

Harts Hotel near west Footscray station has a Fish Tales, albeit again very slow due to wear and tear and lack of maintenance. 5/10 for playability. About a year ago there was a kids entertainment centre that had two pinnies, Batman and something else, but I always feared people would see me as a paedo for being there by myself.

And I used to spend many a weekend hour on that Creature in the old mans cafe in High St Northcote when I lived over there!

Has anyone else played Pinball Arcade on IOS or Android? 4 tables faithfully recreated: Tales of Arabian Knights, Black Hole, Ripleys Believe it or Not and Theathre of Magic. With Medieval Madness and more coming as monthly DLC. It is very good!

Check this place out: http://www.sysqs.com/searchstore.php They have them for $3.66 US each plus $10 P&P. So $13US each, great with the current exchange rate. Just ordered a whole swag, to go with the half dozen I already have. Think I'll start reading Harvest tonight.

I also have a spare ticket if someone still needs, I'm working in the CBD till 6, or contact to arrange pre-gig pickup at venue (has to be between 8 and 9)...
