Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter II, Samurai Showdown, and their sequels / updates, among others, caused me to miss out on a lot of great pinball. It wasn't until I got a hold of the SNES ports that I started getting into pinball in the mid-90s, right around the decline of arcades (largely because many of these games were well-ported to the SNES, and later the PS). My enthusiasm didn't really take off until VP, PHOF, and, of course TPA, which sent it into the stratosphere. Machines are so much more enjoyable when you can practice at home, learn the rule set and commit it to memory, then play it IRL.
