[QUOTE="Probolkoc, post: 34757, member: 1413"] I was a kid in the early '90s, and back then Finland actually had arcades. I frequented the one in my hometown, but didn't usually play pinballs, going instead for shooting games like Point Blank, and fighting games like Mortal Kombat and Primal Rage. However, I often watched when someone who could really play pinball was playing, as pretty much anything can be very entertaining if it's done skillfully. One time when I was watching a guy play The Addams Family, he got a replay but was in a hurry to leave after finishing his game, so he let me play the remaining credit. Ever since that I started to play pinballs more and more. A couple of friends got into them as well, so we often played against each other. I used to deliberately enter their initials if I made a high score while competing; something I thought was funny while they did not. My all-time favorite table (and not surprisingly, the one I was best at) is Monster Bash, so I naturally bought Pinball Arcade upon hearing that MB will eventually be available on it. We used to play Monster Bash at my hometown's arcade, and quite often we had cumulated so many credits by the closing time that the arcade workers had to give us token coins to compensate for our 'loss'. Other favorite tables of mine are Who Dunnit?, Attack From Mars and Medieval Madness. [/QUOTE]
