The games are free to play and there is a 12$ admission at the door or 10$ discount tickets available ahead of time (trust me for the amount of machines they have this is cheap!). Project machines should be available throughout the duration of the show, so I wouldn’t worry about that. There is also a fleamarket area this year so there should be plenty of goods to choose from.

2 ?’s, as I’m planning on attending. Do I need to bring a stack of quarters to play the games, or are they free? Is there any chance of picking up a project machine on Saturday, or should I try to get there Friday for that…?

Theres a HUGE amount of pinball at the Rochester show, you will not be disappointed if you are going only for pinball, trust me. They even have a pinball tournament if you so desire to participate. They have everything from the newest pinball machines to older electromechanical pins.

They had a decent amount of upright arcade machines there last year. I’m a big (total) arcade fan, but I found myself spending little time playing the video machines. Dragon’s Lair, Space Ace and Star Wars Trilogy were fun to play for a while, but were only used to take a break from many choices of pinball. (Funny thing is that years ago I played very little pinball.) After 6 hours of almost continuous playing I was spent.

I live here in Rochester, I’m a big gamer but I’ve always been skeptical to go to this. You think it’s enough to hold the interest of someone who’s into more than Pinball and Cruis’n USA? =P
