    I can't deny the "cool" factor of having a genuine retro arcade at home, but couldn't possibly justify taking up pin space (was supposed to be a max of 6 pins as it is). I used to collect NES/Famicom games fairly heavily, but never liked knowing I could get the same gaming experiences for "free" if I so chose. Those my age that want to play games would likely prefer Smash Bros., etc., which further complicates justifying arcade games. At the end of the day, I can't possibly download a real pinball experience, and thus, they get the space over any single arcade consideration (I do debate a multi-cade for guests).

    Quoted from taylor34:

    That's about where I've gotten to, they're used at parties but I rarely play them currently. I played a ton of Rocksmith (real guitar + xbox = super fun) a couple years ago before I had some physical issues with playing too much, lol (I was playing every night for an hour or two).

    If there are physical issues with guitar playing and you're not new to it, it may have more to do with the technique (wrist/arm/finger positioning, etc.). One or two hours a day shouldn't cause issues (been playing for nearly 24 years myself--only time I really had an issue was when trying to "shred" on a bass as if it were a guitar and there was bend that took out something in my finger for weeks ). Otherwise, I can also say my guitars get more play than my pins, but I do play the pins almost every day.
