    Quoted from spinal:

    Dear lord, please don’t even think about virtual pinball. It’s all fine but you be missing the entire world of real pinball which you will eventually find anyway and then have to sell your vpin. I play games on my ipad but get a real pin and don’t look back.

    Just chiming in to reinforce this point! Save your money and floorspace for the real thing!

    One good, genuine analog MACHINE is better than 500 emulated ones. The experience of playing emulated pinball in a physical cabinet has a cool novelty factor but is really not a sufficient enough improvement over simply playing through a PC or game console to justify the cost and space.

    (I’d give the same advice about xxxx-in-1 video game cabinets. In addition to being no more fun than a cheap PC+Xarcade tankstick+MAME, you also fall into the trap of choice paralysis and spend more time selecting the games than playing them.)
