The 90's represented a great resurgence of pinball after video games had marginalized them for several years.However, nothing can compare with the 70's, which was the Golden Age of pinball. The pinball industry made more money than the movie industry and there were vastly more machines produced. They were everywhere...gas stations, laundromats, grocery stores. Mainstream America was familiar with pinball.Addams Family had 21000+ production? If you count the variations (2 player, four player, aab) many machines were between 10-20 thousand in the 70's, but with many more titles per year from a larger number of manufacturers. The 90's were a great time for pinball, but does not come close to the impact pinball had in the 70's.
