[QUOTE="Crawley, post: 237970, member: 2300"] In the 80's didn't play much even though pinball was so prevalent in arcades and I spent a lot of time in the arcades on weekends. I didn't get the allure of pinball back then. Figured it was just batting the ball around the table and that was only fun for a go once or twice. Plus I could make a quarter last a hell of a lot longer on an arcade game compared to a pinball machine. And when you're a kid without much money you're going to try and make it last. Didn't really play much real pinball till the late 90's early 2000. But did play plenty of pinball on the computer. Loved Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies. Epic Pinball was fantastic too. When I got to college I played a bit more pinball as they had a few machines there. Plus by then the pinball tables were much more forgiving with ball saves and extra balls. But didn't really get in to trying to play real pinball machines till TPA clued me in to them and started to go to the Expo's and last existing arcades around my area. Do feel like I've missed out on playing them during the 80's and 90's as that's when the machines were in new condition. It's hard to find machines from that age in perfect condition out in the wild.
