[QUOTE="Pinballfan69, post: 3261, member: 221"] Fascinating! Thanks for the link. Gottlieb/Williams/Bally true pioneers. It would be more interesting how they incorporated mission or how they designed tables to do different objectives. That would be interesting to me. I chuckled when they were talking about where the industry is going. There are hardly any arcades anymore. Games are costing (at least in my experience) $1.50 - $2.00 to play a single game. Too much for my liking. Especially when the tables seem to be designed to lose your ball very quickly. I don't know what new tables came out recently if at all. I just can't and wont spend that kind of money to play an arcade/pinball game anymore when you can better value by paying a single purchase - be it video pinball or other form of gaming. That to me is why arcades died out. It got too expensive to go to. Manufacturers seem to wanting more percentage of the profits while arcade owners had to charge more for gamers with huge repair costs etc. Home consoles Mobile gaming is by far the standard it seems. There is a place that has some pinball at $.50 a game I might play those for a bit. I'm not sure why they charge so much lately to play games. Gamers want value for their money. I would be ok spending $.25 a game and have more fun doing so that pay the prices they are asking for now. [/QUOTE]
