The long-awaited Sonic the Hedgehog pinball is being released by Jersey Jack Pinball, from the vaunted designer, Steve Ritchie.

Ritchie is widely considered the “King of Flow” for his fast and at times, unforgiving layouts. One of his most popular creations is the Black Knight trilogy.

If you’re itching to try a Steve Ritchie design, we have his 2019 Black Knight: Sword of Rage (sometime called Black Knight 3000) available for play at the Troy Rewind - Arcade Bar & Retro Lounge.

We also have his revolutionary creation, High Speed over at Herbie’s Burgers of Clifton Park!

The King of Flow returns. ⚡️

We’re doing our best, providing the local community with great pinball, new and old!

Sadly, a terrible tragedy befell Avengers… it pains me, but accidents happens.
Thanks to years of experience, and some old-fashion operator ingenuity, I was able to salvage Avengers. It will need extensive repairs, so if you wanna help us get bring it back to form, play the heck of out it! All proceeds earned by Avengers will be going to its repair.

Our full roster of pinball machines has finally arrived! (Thanks to our friends at Arcade Archaeology!)

Be sure to swing by this week and play some classic games!

Black Knight: Sword of Rage (Stern, 2019)

ATTENTION TRAINERS!!!
The Limited Edition Pokémon Pinball has been spotted over at Arcade Archaeology off of Route 9!

Come experience the special unboxing of this Legendary game TODAY, Saturday the 25th. It’ll be hatching from its box around 1pm today. 👾

This is our first brand new in box game here at the museum, and my first new machine in the 10+ years I’ve been in this crazy world of pinball. The public reception has been overwhelming. Pokémon pinball has been out for just about a month, and many are already crowing it as the most important, influential machine to be released in over 25 years. This is truly something special, you won’t wanna miss!
