Ground Kontrol Classic Arcade

One of the galaxy’s deepest and most exciting pinball games just got an upgrade: A brand-new, full-color display by ColorDMD!

Star Trek: The Next Generation pinball was originally released during the sci-fi classic’s final season in late 1993 and proved itself a favorite among both hardcore pinball players and hardcore Trekkies. Its well-crafted gameplay is complimented by plenty of sights and sounds from the iconic TV series, including dozens of lines recorded by everyone from Patrick Stewart as Captain Picard to John de Lancie as Q!

This widebody “SuperPin” is one of the most complex pinball machines ever designed, with multiple ramps,  two cannons (similar to Terminator 2′s cannon – both were designed by Steve Ritchie) and a 6-ball multiball!  And if you know the secret codes, you can play poker with Riker or play a game of Breakout on the DMD!

Now, you can boldly go where no player has gone before with a full-color display bringing the game’s missions to life. Destroy asteroids, enter a time rift, face off with Q, and rescue your crew!

Like Attack From Mars and The Addams Family, you won’t find Star Trek: The Next Generation in better condition anywhere in Portland. Or one autographed by Wil Wheaton.  Want classic pinball with a bold new look? Come down to Ground Kontrol and “make it so!”

720° is back – again!  While we’re always happy to offer this fan favorite, the cabinet can be a little difficult to maintain, and sometimes we have to take it off the floor for a while.  Having returned from its most recent visit to GK’s repair crypt, 720° is ready for play, and doing better than ever!

For those unfamiliar, 720° is Atari’s skateboarding classic, totally decked out in 80’s flair and skater-dude aesthetic.  It is, one might say, totally radical.  To play, your character jumps and grinds through a town that really looks more like a skate park, trying to raise cash to buy better gear and enter events.  Such skating events include the giant downhill ramp, the gnarly half pipe, tricky jump ramp, and speedy slalom game.  Each one is a different way to play 720° and doing well rewards the player with medals, high scores, and a longer game.

Keep on shredding through Skate City or you may find yourself menaced by killer bees! When it’s time to make a move or get thrashed, you’ll hear the game’s trademark warning, “Skate or Die!”  That sample, along with distinctive music, make 720° one of the most memorable-sounding games – it’s even got a cool boombox-like set of speakers above the big screen.

720° is currently set up right by the bar, unique joystick fully operational, monitor shining bright, and speakers pumping.  Come shred the gnar!  It’s a really good game to get into!
