Simple story - I started playing almost 50 years ago, played extensively in college (pinball and bridge reflected in my GPA), played at local bowling alley with my best friend every Momday night for years (who needs Monday Night Football!) and when my son came started hitting the arcades. He would stand on a chair and play the plunger and right side flippers, I'd play the left -unique form of doubles - and we got good enough to attract the admiration of the local players for our almost instictive teamwork.  Time passes, kids grow and move on but I still play pins, attend shows and have started to add my own machines to family gameroom.  I have always been "target" game oriented with a Bally bias, but do love my No Fear.
