What got me into pinball?

When I was a kid we had a Black Knight machine. It wasn't in very good condition but it was playable and I liked it a lot. I use to play it with friends all the time, but it broke and we never took the time to fix it. In 2014 my brother resurrected my interest when he purchased Fire, and then a couple months later purchased Monopoly. I only played a couple games that had a dot-matrix display so I loved it. He ended up trading Monopoly for World Poker Tour, although I like Monopoly better and wish he hadn't. In January of 2015 he told me one of his friends is selling a machine called Last Action Hero for a good price and it has LED already installed, which I really wanted a machine to have LED so I can leave it on for long periods of time. After doing some research on the machine I really liked it and decided to purchase it. I love having these machines. Pinball is so much fun to play and my friends love coming over to play too. It's a great hobby and I hope to purchase more machines in the future.
