But for a devout few, the arcade is called Pinball Pete's for more than just the sake of vague nostalgia and alliteration. They're players of all ages whose devotion to pinball hearkens back to a time before Xbox. A time when Pinball Pete's had four locations in downtown Ann Arbor. A time that was the golden era of pinball - the early 1990s.
But Pete's quirky ambiance is a large part of the reason it's become the preferred arena for Ann Arbor's large population of video game addicts, pinball wizards and pool sharks. There's the bass-heavy music, all but drowning out the bleeps and bloops. There's darkness - video game screens are the major light source. And if you were happy when Amer's became non-smoking, steer clear of Pinball Pete's - it's one of the last bastions of smokers' rights with an ashtray always within arm's reach.
