Journey to the other Coast

Decided to drive to the end of my driveway, then reach there & decided to drive to the edge of town, then the edge of the county & continued driving until I reached Ft. Lauderdale. I finally stop at the Xtreme Karts to play pinball. When you have an itch, sometimes you have to scratch. Jeff Palmer from RGP (Rec.Game.Pinball Google Group) told me about the Prime Time Arcade at Xtreme Karts located on the other coast. It really is not a bad drive. Yes, it did take me, one hour & forty minutes to arrive at their door steps, but driving across the Alligator Alley is undemanding & without interruptions. There are only two exit/ overpasses the entire eighty-four miles, so set the cruise control, listen to some music & look for ‘gators. Prime Time Arcade had six Stern pinball machines: World Poker Tour, NASCAR, Grand Prix, The Lord of the Rings, The Sopranos & Elvis. The pinball machines were clean & in good shape. They played well & I did not have any problems with these machines. But, I was disappointed to discover that they did not have Sterns latest & new releases like the Family Guy or Spider-man pinball machines on location. What a missed pinball opportunity. The opportunity to introduce a brand new game(s) & bring new pinball players in the blend or even to keep fresh the enthusiasm & passion that the dedicated pinheads have. It makes me wonder… They have the latest video consoles & extreme racing carts too, but this page is for pinball machines & pinball experiences. You can find the Prime Time Arcade at Xtreme Karts located at 5300 Powerline Rd Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309 (954) 491-6265

Have Fun, Dan

Jeff thanks for the information.
