 Yesterday (4 May 2024) was a holy day for nerds worldwide. It was Star Wars day. This was also the day that Campbelltown City Council decided to host Comic Book Day at the HJ Daley Library, a celebration of comic books, gaming, and pop culture. Cool! I'm always up for nerdy stuff. Pinball is the perfect companion to nerdy stuff, partly because so many pinball themes are based on nerdy stuff! So, I contacted the library and asked if they would be interested in hosting a couple of pinball machines for the day for guests to enjoy. The library was hosting all kinds of other cool stuff on the day including comic book giveaways, cosplay competitions, Star Wars trivia, and more. They were really keen on the pinball machine idea, so I committed to bringing a couple of games to spread the magic of pinball. I had two perfect games for this kind of event: Judge Dredd (Bally, 1993) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Data East, 1991). Both are based on comic book themes, and both would appeal to the kids that would be attending this kind of event. Unfortunately, however, TMNT is not in service yet as it's still undergoing restoration. So I decided instead to bring Super Mario Bros (Gottlieb, 1992). Into the van they went, and off we went to the library for the day.

Running this website is a hobby for me (just like pinball!). I like being able to show off my restoration work so everyone can learn from it and potentially fix their own machines.
