Your best high score, a rare pinball machine, or an amazing retro gaming location deserves more than a quick note on your phone.


“My Arcade & Pinball Logbook” is a German-language memory and tracking book for anyone who wants to systematically document classic arcade machines, pinball machines, and special gaming locations.

Instead of simply recording scores, you can document the complete gaming experience: Where was the machine located? Who manufactured it and what era is it from? How were the controls, playfield, cabinet, and technical condition? Under what conditions did you achieve the score? And was the machine good enough to make your personal favorites list?


WHAT YOU CAN DOCUMENT:

  • Machine, title, manufacturer, year of production or era

  • Genre, platform, version, and special mechanics

  • Location, venue, date of visit, and game price

  • Controls, display, sound, and technical condition

  • Playfield, flippers, ramps, bumpers, and tilt

  • Attempts, play time, balls, multiball, bonus, and high score

  • Difficulty level and personal rating

  • Favorite arcade machines and pinball machines

  • Arcades, museums, bars, and events you have visited

  • Location selection, atmosphere, machine maintenance, and likelihood of returning

  • Retro gaming routes, visit planning, and travel budget

  • Personal top 10 lists, rankings, and rare finds

  • Wanted machines, challenges, and training goals

  • Monthly and yearly recaps

  • References to photos, tickets, tokens, and souvenirs


CONTENTS:

  • 29 arcade machines, with two pages dedicated to each

  • 24 pinball machines, with two pages dedicated to each

  • Five detailed location profiles

  • Separate arcade and pinball rankings

  • High-score, progress, and tournament trackers

  • Wish lists, favorites, tours, and annual statistics


The large 8.5 × 11-inch format provides plenty of space for writing. The 180-page black-and-white interior is undated and suitable for casual players, retro gaming fans, pinball enthusiasts, collectors, and visitors to arcades, museums, or gaming events.
