This part museum, part charity and part old-time arcade, is on the “must visit” list in our household. Austin does have something similar called Pinballz which is an odd choice for a name because it sounds more like the title of a softcore porno shown on Cinemax. Either way, both places have their merits but for my friends who live in other cities, the PHF is the better option.
Things were much busier when we were by too. I think it’s a good sign. Many of my favorite machines remained (Star Trek 25th Anniversary, South Park with the cursing on and industry killer Black Knight), a couple were busted (Bugs Bunny and Black Hole) and they’ve add more old video games. New games are still being built as shown with the arrival of Avatar and this rather odd Rolling Stones-themed contraption. The closeup of the moving Mick Jagger target makes it comical and/or ironic.
Unlike the real Rolling Stones, this experience won't cost you $300 to watch and it will only wreck a smaller portion of Zilker Park.
You get bonus "Satisfaction" points for hitting the moving Mick Jagger. Sadly, the lips/tongue logo isn't a bonus ramp.
