I was an Atari ST guy, but I also owned an Amiga 500 for games and demos. Good times.
I find pinball reminiscent of those days. You would invite strangers to your house just because they owned the same computer as you. Same as pinball.

Quoted from cogito:LOAD "*",8,1
and now the exciting 5 minute wait while your game loads .
Quoted from emkay:I may have gotten in a schoolyard fistfight with the whole Amiga vs Atari ST thing.
ST RULEZ!!!!
I got into many a fight as well back in the day. Ah, to be young again and fight over stupid shit. Oh wait, we're on Pinside
Quoted from emkay:I wish I had the exact numbers but there's definitely a sizeable demographic represented here. I also wish I were smart enough to explain why.
We're all in that "sweet spot" age group, that grew up in the 80s with pinballs, arcades... and Amigas.
Quoted from emkay:Is that your way of saying you're not a Rush fan?
I haven't seen them play in nearly twenty years but I remember being slightly creeped out by how homogeneous the crowd was. Middle-class white dudes in jeans, t-shirts and baseball caps literally made up 99% of the audience.
Their lyrics are about how trees are talking to each other, How different sides of the brain work and outer space bullshit. It's not like it's Helix or something. Helix was a wicked concert. They had good lyrics. Give me an R O C K! And the crowd yells "ROCK" really loud. Now that's a fucking concert.
