The Pinball Chronicles

A little about my pinball backround goes as the following. I never played too much growing up, I was more into the video games, but I do recall playing a few different titles growing up at the local pizza joint in town. After finishing my basement, I started to create the perfect mancave. I started with a pool table, followed by air hockey, then I got into the whole MAME arcade thing and converted a TMNT 4 player arcade into a 4 player MAME setup complete with trackball and all. The next thing that seems logical was a pinball as I'd wanted one for awhile. So after looking for a good starter game at a resonable price, I went with "The Machine: Bride of Pinbot". Thats were the addiction started, little did I know that what the guy that sold it to me said was so true, "You never have just one". Well the timing of the purchase was bad however as I lost my long time job due to the poor economy days after purchase. I wanted another pin in a matter of months, but had to wait until the income was coming in again. Long story short, well I guess it hasn't been that short, but a year and a half later I've got 5 machines in the collection and looking to grow all the time.
