Episode 4: Cosmic Cottage Arcade

Flipping back to a location focus, this week we focus on four competitors from the Cosmic Cottage Arcade in Nashua, New Hampshire. A private collection of beautifully restored arcade games and a bevy of pinball machines from all eras, Cosmic Cottage is one of the prime spots to play in the New England Pinball League. From the CCA come 4 players ready to flip their way to glory:

  • Ross Bergen is the owner, operator, repair and restoration mind behind the Cosmic Cottage Arcade. His popular YouTube channel shows a wonderful tour of the space. In addition to being a collector and tremendous restoration expert, Ross is a fantastic pinball player who routinely is near the top of the seeding lists in NEPL.
  • Cody Gamache is a quickly-rising star in the New England pinball scene, with an IFPA ranking shooting up over the past two years to currently in the top 1400 players worldwide. Cody recently finished 4th in WPPRMania 2’s main event, making him a dangerous foe on copies he knows well.
  • Ian Hobson is a regular at the Cosmic Cottage Arcade and one of the nicest people in the hobby. His play at Cosmic Cottage will set him up well for competition on the equally diverse lineup at the Lower Playfield, despite the tough field.
  • Zheanna Murray is the current WPPRMania Survivor Series Champion, and the reigning runner up in the IFPA State Championships for New Hampshire in 2023. A skilled and focused player currently ranked 1601 in IFPA ranking, Z is someone who can get on a roll and beat any player. (Editors note: I have, as of this writing, been eliminated from every NH State Championship I’ve played in by Z. I’m not bitter. At all.)

On commentary:

  • Derek Correia and Jordan Knights are the owner operators of The Lower Playfield, and have nothing better to do on a Friday than watch other people have fun and play pinball.
