    Pittsburgh has two worth checking out:

    PAPA, the site of the World Pinball Championships which is only rarely open to the public, and Pinball Perfection, which is only open when the weather is warm but has an astonishing number of pinball and entertainment machines. When I was a grad student, I used to play at Pinball Perfection every weekend. :)

    I see Demolition Man listed as one of the possible pins to play. One of my top five favorite games for superb voice clips, audio effects, variety of features and difficulty. I'd drop a c-note for a day long tour of that "private collection of 400 machines"...

    The reigning pinball champion is Lyman Sheats, winner of the PAPA 7 World Pinball Championships in September 2004. The next championships are August 11-14, 2005, same location.

    Lyman works at Stern, incidentally - many of the former Bally/Williams designers and programmers either work at Stern or do contract work for them. Quality has improved considerably as a result.
