[QUOTE="Zippy, post: 138901, member: 4170"] Really though, Pinball has spanned three generations: the Boomers, Gen X, and The Millennials. People seem to have different tastes that don't always line up to their age, either. I like the categories that Pinside uses: Modern pinball 1991-now Late solid state 1985-1991 Early solid state 1978-1985 Late EM games 1953-1978 Early EM games 1931-1953 Me? Despite being born in the early 70s, I'm definitely a Late Solid State through Modern. I mean, I certainly played pinball in the late 70s - early 80s, but the machines just wasn't as memorable as the video games I played at the time? The first pinball machine I remember being totally enthralled with was Pinbot, and then Terminator. My golden age for playing pinball was in college, when we had 3 machines at any given time in the student union, where I would play between classes. This is where I fell in love with Theatre of Magic, Star Trek TNG, and the Addams Family. Sadly, after graduating from college, I've pretty much only ever played pinball at rest stops on various interstates. [/QUOTE]
