Quoted from Mike_J:He might be too busy with the ladies, booze and the books to care very much about pinball.
I had no problem in college finding time for, booze, books, babes and Pinball. Pretty much all four every day.
Was a small store a few blocks from my dorm with two machines and a coupon in the free newspaper for two tokens, it is where I fell in love with Centaur, could play a lot on two tokens with where the free game was set to. The student union also had a few games as well (Xenon, EBD, forget what else)
I would agree an EM could be the most trouble free, if working good at the start. Had a jackbot at work, which the twenty somethings who did not have much pinball experience really enjoyed, not much to break on that game. WCS94 is another good choice, easy to learn and have fun with and again, not a ton that can go wrong.
