[QUOTE="soundwave106, post: 234475, member: 3746"] This is where I see the "vocal haters" as well. PAF is a lot more friendly of a place period. :) In a way I don't find it surprising (to some degree). Probably the pins you first encounter in your teens / twenties, and their motif / style, are in general what you most want to see. There's probably more computer gamers out there in their late 30s to 40s (meaning they were around for the early 1990s pinball wave) than their are gamers who were teens in the EM era (and probably are in their 60s now). "Back in my day" I never saw *any* EM in arcades. I've only played one IRL EM, a Spirit of 76 a family member had. The only sort-of early SS games I saw *ever* in arcades around here were one Space Shuttle and one Eight Ball Deluxe. Personally I appreciate the EMs despite growing up in the DMD era, but reading Facebook I feel like I'm not with the majority of pinball players from my era. Could be wrong but that's my impression.
