    Default I'm glad I'm not anywhere near this

    Give me a truck, a cordless drill (screwdriver) with a full set of batteries and a day!

    I'm only cryin' cause I'm not there! From what I understand, abandoned parlors are not rare.

    I don't think I'd be taking any machines, but at least a whole aisle plus those POS's (Point Of Sale, not Piece of ....!) and computers would be gone (plus some chairs!)

    As far as I know, guns are illegal. I figure they've all been shot with wrist-rockets shooting pachinko balls. Pretty good ammunition and plenty of it!

    I just don't know what to say.
    I wonder why they did not even take the time to close it up with wood.
    Just walking there inbetween that rubble would be really weird i guess.

    If you throw hard enough with these balls they'll easily go through glass.
    Better have a pachinko ball fall onto your foot then a bowling ball...

    These games are very old, they probably didnt make enough profit anymore to upgrade to newer games and then people stayed out or something or they all played till they were all broke so they could not come play anymore.

    What if i would like to buy up the place and begin my own parlor in it ?
    Guess it wouldnt last long..... what about gangs dropping by for protection money or whatever. there goes the cashregister.
    Makes me wonder if it would be possible to open a parlor in the netherlands.
    Then i can call the cops if a gang comes in...
    And then the alarmclock goes off and i am wide awake again.

    Wow very weird and erie. Almost looks like the aftermath of a huge blast and thats the end of everything and all of the people have been vaporized! So many parts to be found there and cool literature, maybe even Pica cleaners!
    Amazing how much was just abandoned. I suppose after their useful life the machines really have no value with the exception of what we buy them for!
    They are Pachinko and Pachislo Gravyards may Million God watch over
    them!

    Too sad,

    Looks like a scene from the end of the world, and for some reason makes me think of the Mad Max films......

    What a waste......

    Very sad indeed. Just goes to show what a great job we do in giving these un-wanted pachi a new home, where they will be loved & cared for like they have never known.

    ...or out in the desert on route 66. I'm surprised they get away with leaving it wide open. If it was here people would be living there.
