BAY SHORE, NY— A retro pinball arcade that opened in Bay Shore's South Shore Mall last year is temporarily closed, and will reopen with some changes. High Score Pinball Arcade opened last spring, with over 50 retro and new pinball machines from the 1970s to current models. A sign on the closed arcade reads "High Score will be closing Dec. 31. Grand opening of Video Game Trading Post 3.0 Saturday, February 26 at noon." The new store's concept will combine the machines that can be played with video games to purchase, according to a post on the arcade's Facebook page. "A combo retro video game store and our playable Arcade and Pinball showroom can also be rented out for birthday parties and special events. With over 40 pinball machines VGTP 3.0 will house the largest collection of pinball machines on Long Island plus play over 30 full-size arcade and sit-down driving games. We will also start to offer pinball and arcade game rentals and sales."
