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.
Quoted from Thermionic: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.
Very well said and I 1000% agree. Virtual pins seems like you’re somehow sneakily getting all these games in one package but you are actually getting very little more than small improvement over playing on your PC or ipad.
There are thousands of collectors that have gone this route and eventually learn the hard way yet you will never (rarely?) hear someone with reals pins dying to add a virtual pin to their collection.
I’m not sayig that virtual pins aren’t fun and don’t have something to offer. To quote again, I’m mega-agreeing with:
