[QUOTE="Captain Rumwood, post: 11520, member: 401"] How did my love for pinball begin? Wow. That brings back memories when I was a kid. I used to go to an arcade room while my parents bought the groceries or when my aunt went shopping. I remember taking a $5 bill and change it all into quarters. I would spend most of it on both videogames and pinball machines. Those were such cool times. I also remember going to the country side to a small store one of my uncles had and I remember the machine worked with 10 cents. Believe it or not, that machine was Centaur. I spent hours playing it while my cousins shot some pool and my grandpa had a couple of drinks while playing domino. The first pinball tables I remember playing were Haunted House, Centaur (1981), Orbitor 1 and Hercules (1979). Shortly after that the "Golden Age of Pinball" hit. . . . High Speed, Funhouse, Black Knight, Taxi, Gorgar, Jungle Lord, Guns N Roses, Space Shuttle, WWF Royal Rumble, Hook, Indiana Jones The Pinball Adventure, Twilight Zone, Addams Family and many others afterwards. It's too bad that there are no more arcade rooms and no more pinball machines to play around here. This is why I'm really into FarSight's TPA. They can bring back some of my favorites and give me the opportunity to play other tables I never had the chance to play live. [/QUOTE]
