[QUOTE="Robert Hunt, post: 65962, member: 1600"] I've said before in this thread that the Florida APE (Arcade & Pinball Exhibition) I went to in February really opened my eyes to what this hobby has to offer to average folks. Before then I had only been to giant museums and huge commercial arcades, but that collection of machines, brought together for just one weekend in Fort Lauderdale, was more impressive and fat with modern SS and DMD games than any commercial arcade in the world. I just hadn't realized how many machines, in great playing condition, were out there in the hands of people willing to lug them around to shows. So while it was staggering to enter that main hall at APE, which was confined to those “more modern” SS machines, despite the bewildering number of games that were blinking and calling out, it was impossible not to notice the Williams Space Station, and realize that THAT MACHINE was the cutoff - it was the oldest game in the room. But it didn't PLAY old. It played fast and fun! I'm pretty sure I'll be playing the hell out of it on TPA.
