Last night I went to a very hidden pinball club. It isn't on pinball map, by design I was told. I only found out about the location while I was playing at Illegal about a week ago.
Kristiania Flipperselskap is located about 20 minutes outside of city center. It's an easy subway ride. They are on Facebook so if you are in the area you can contact them that way.
The doors opened at 5 and the tournament started at 6. I arrived just after 5 and the instructions I was given led me right to the unmarked door.
The door was unlocked so I walked in with confidence and soon saw signs of pinball.
I enterd and was greeted by a familiar face. I began playing while the rest of the members arrived.
They had a nice lineup of Modern Sterns which do not show up on Insider Connect.
They also had some great classics and mids.
F-14 signed by Steve Ritchie, the designer.
I got to play Quick Silver for the first time and it was a beautiful copy.
The Bow and Arrow was beautiful too.
Their Hardbody played great too and I skillfully used the Flex Save. The inlanes turn to outlanes once you use them and if you don't relight them, you have to use a separate flex button that turns them back into inlanes for a short period of time. It takes good timing and is really fun.
One of my opponents flexing their saves.
I also got to play Stern's WWF Wrestle Mania. I don't see this one very often.
It was a really fun tournament. I played pretty well but didn't make the finals. My proudest moment was rolling Viking in Norway (sorry, no photo proof).
The subway wasn't very crowded on the way back.
I thought it fitting to see The Continental. It's a prominent feature in the John Wick pinball machine which they have.
Now we are on a train to Stockholm. Soon our adventures will continue but in Sweden instead of Norway.
