2008, I would have been 10 at the time. I remember one day while my mom was taking me and my siblings out, we were driving by a video rental store and my brother asked if he could rent a game. My mom let him, and the game he picked was Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection.
I don't know if it was because of easy physics of the game, the easy to understand instructions and goals, or just the fact that this was my first time playing classics like Funhouse, Whirlwind, and Taxi, but I was hooked! After we returned the game I remember I spent tons of time trying to find new pinball games to play, and discovered Future Pinball (Which helped me get into programming, which I do for a living now!) and Visual Pinball. When Christmas came around I finally got The Williams Collection to keep, and of course I knew I wanted to save up and buy my own pin some day. I finally did when I bought a Stargate, just over three years ago now!
