As a kid I grew up playing Black Hole, Paragon, Space Invaders, Firepower, and Black Knight at the local arcade. I used to go once a week to play at the arcade. At that time there was a line to play the newer popular machines. So you pile up your quarters in the space above the apron next to the lockdown bar. That meant you were next in line to play and everyone remembered whose quarters were whose. When Gorgar first came out I remember how I kept thinking how awesome it was that a pinball machine could talk! Then video games took over and pinball was largely forgotton by me.
Flash forward to 2010 and I heard about the Avatar launch party coming up in SF and on a whim I went there with a friend. From that point forward I was hooked again. Since then I have picked up a few machines and had them mostly in storage due to space issues. I finally got the kids toy room built and now have my first machine setup, Laser Cue. I still am a big fan of the era of the machines I grew up with. I like Pinball machines that have multiball and talk but it's better if it talks in the early computer voice when speech was brand new.
