it is a good time for pinball, but not a 'golden age'
that would have been in the 70s and early 80s when you had three manufactures, bringing out at least 6 new games a year, new ideas were tried, tecnology was embrased, and arcades still existed
Quoted from Luckydogg420:I wasn’t alive for the 70’s golden era and I was just getting into playing pinball in the 90’s.
But the modern pinball era is different because of the Internet. Now we have small companies making mods for new games as well as parts for old games. We have many options to build homebrew games from scratch. Retheming a game is now easier then ever with photoshop and 3d printers. I just think that pinball has a lot going for it, that it didn’t have in the past.
Or maybe I’m just to young to know what the good times were like.
sucks to be you
people my age saw the end of EMs and the start of SS
we saw games go from one playfeild to having two or three
the solid state era was one that went ahead in leaps and bounds, the simple games of 1977 were quickly followed by the epic machines in 1979/80
it was a great time to be a teenager
