Asbury Park is a very mellow boardwalk/beach experience. Don't let the city's bad reputation put you off.

Truth be told, I probably spent as much time playing the older machines as I did the newer ones. In particular I remember an old Williams Genie in the back that had a much less steep playfield than the newer machines.

To this day, I still want to play any pinball machine I find, even the newer ones. I need to find a way to convince the wife to come with me to this museum…
