[QUOTE="Rich Lehmann, post: 177033, member: 4691"] My dad too but that is half of my point. My dad was way to old to be in a video arcade in 1987. And in 1990 I could either put 50 cents or even 75 cents for a single game of Dr Dude or I could play 3 games of Mortal Combat. By 1990 I remember the pinball only being played by the adults that worked at the arcade. Why someone would market a pinball machine in 1990 at teenagers made no sense. So many other designers were instead targeting the other locations that might want a pinball machine in their business, bars, diners, country clubs, hence all the billiards, golf, retro themes. Pinball could not compete as a money maker in an arcade with the high tech and much smaller video games. [/QUOTE]
