I have always had an interest in playing pinball, as a kid, I wasnt allowed to play them because my folks thought of them as the devils pawn and a waste of time and money but I didnt think so. One time I got into fight with my parents and I ran away from home and straight to the local arcade. I thought I could hang out there forever, I didnt know they closed at midnite. Now that I'm grown and have a room to support it, I have my first pin, F-14 Tomcat. I have had it for 7 years. Its been a blast to play. I have been adding to my gameroom little by little, when I could afford it and or had the time to work on it. I have the usual subjects, pool table, slot machine, dart board, stereo, bar and all important beer fridge. I had a big rear projection screen tv in there but it didnt work well and took up alot of space, so out it went. My next major purchase is a wall hung 50-60 in flat screen and additional lighting. I am thinking of remodeling the entire room soon, just have too many themes going on, planes, trains, automobiles, beer and nascar. If I could just pick one or two.....

just imagine if some law back in the 80s-90s dictated that all arcades must be open 24/7?- have to love the idea.
