My love of the game

I played pinball on a regular basis in my college days at UW-madison. The Badger tavern on university avenue had a Jungle King, and the Pub on state street had a gold Strike both add-a-ball games. When at home I played at the local bars , one had an incentive of a free mini-bottle of licquor if your beat a certain score. Years passed but not my love of the game. Finally decided 8 years ago I should have one of my own. My wife did some research and said she was taking me to a homegame room shop tomorrow before our annual family christmas play and I was to pick one out for christmas. I spent all night on the computer doing research and had a master list of about 10 games I would like. I narrowed it down that next day to Twilight zone and funhouse , with help from the shop owner picked tz. On my way to the play I kidded if I was to be a collector I needed more than one game! The machine was delivered christmas eve and to my suprise she had negotiated a deal with the store owner and had purchased funhouse as well. My love of the game has not waned , if anything it has become a passion.
