Dylan (my son) has been playing pinball with me since he was 3 months old, in a baby sling on my belly. i enter tournaments and local leagues with him attached and it no longer raises eyebrows unless there's new people there - he loves to reach down and try to touch the flippers and the balls, and he gurgles away at the sound and light shows during multiball <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />you're right, i don't really mind so much about the lost scores as it's the games themselves that draw me in.you guys in the States are lucky that you still have some remnant of a pinball culture, as it's all but dead over here, sadly <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite5" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":confused:" /> - people talk about it coming back and all that, and i'd love to believe it, i really would..... most people under the age of 20 in UK have never even seen a real pinball machine, and the sad truth (as i see it) is that they most likely never will, as the arcades aren't coming back, and pubs would rather install a pool table or a fruit machine (one arm bandit but better - basically gambling) ...... so the repair tech guys are no longer around ..... and nowadays it's all sad middle aged men like me with home collections in our garages and sheds./sighanyway, thank heavens for TPA<img src="http://[IMG]http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q643/shirleyknott/afm_logo2_zps7f5cca16.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />[/IMG]</blockquote>
