[QUOTE="Moon Jump, post: 4033, member: 377"] When I was little I used to play Video Pinball on the family Atari 2600 along with the other arcade ports. I had a lot of arcades near me when I was growing up. I didn't often play pinball unless the theme threw me in. It wasn't till I was in the 4th or 5th grade when a huge arcade called "Space Plex" opened up. They had a sick line up of pins. They'd get the newest Data East machines but they also had a row of classic Bally/Williams like Banzai Run, Black Knight 2000 and Cyclone. It was playing with my dad that got me hooked. When Back to The Future came out my dad and I were hooked, then TMNT and after that we played the living hell out of Star Wars. Even though I'd go and play the newest fighting games I'd always come back to play the pinball. Sadly when the arcades shut down I lost the best places I used to go to. Now I pretty much have to hunt to find them, hence why my friend Gerard and I came up with Arcade Hunters. It's always great to find places that are passionate about arcade gaming and pinball. I've got a lot of places I need to visit, like the Silverball Museum, Pinball Wizard Arcade and the Pinball Museum in Baltimore. I play the tables up at FunSpot, but since people don't play them they don't fix the games often. When they do the machines get beat up fast. So they have them, but their not in the best shape.
