[QUOTE="brakel, post: 10245, member: 416"] When I was a kid it used to mean spending time with my older brother and at times through my pinball skills being, maybe even for just a moment, equal to him. Now that I am older and have a daughter it means something else. When we were playing Williams Pinball HoF on the PS3 one day she asked me if real pinball machines made that much noise. I suddenly realized that she had never played a real pinball machine or even had seen one before. The next day we made a trip to a place that had a few Stern machines and played the afternoon away. Then we made plans to go to the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas. That wound up being the best family trip we've ever taken. Now she's 18 and about to go off to college. We still hunt out the odd pinball machine in our area and play "real" pinball. I love the look on her face when she first steps up to a machine that she's only seen digitally. And now almost every night we play a little TPA. Ah, but come September...time goes by so fast sometimes! [/QUOTE]
