ROANOKE – Old school gamers will be happy to know there are a few new toys at one of the most popular attractions at Center in the Square in downtown Roanoke.
After requests from its customers and fans of the classic pinball machine, owners at the pinball museum are working to install six popular new titles over the next year.
Wednesday the big delivery came in after much anticipation. Workers unloaded their newest pinball machines, the highly rated "Ghostbusters" and Metallica themed machines.
Roanoke Pinball manager Aimee Simmons said the two are rated in the top 20 coveted games. She said the machines are new games based on older themes.
“We hope that it will bring new customers in, and it will also make our everyday customers happy that we are bringing new stuff in,” Simmons said. “Because we do have customers that come in every single day and play these machines so they are going to be happy to get some new ones."
Simmons said the museum is hoping to get "The Wizard of Oz" next week. Simmons said three more will be installed over the next few months.
