    Quoted from levcrush:

    If it's true that a large number of new people recently became interested in pinball or at least recently decided to join the hobby, what drove this interest? I certainly see that there are quite a few new comers on this board. What compelled you?

    I suppose I am one of these new people. My obsession began almost a year ago, on my birthday. I was in Seattle for a work conference, and some friends decided to take me to Shorty's to celebrate. I ended up playing MM for 30 minutes on one credit. Just kept getting extra balls and free games. It was awesome. When I got home I decided to look into owning one for my home. Sad I couldn't afford an MM, but one of my co-workers had starting getting into pinball at the same time. So our obsessions fed off each other.

    I dont know if there is one magic answer to why there are a ton of new people getting into it right now. Maybe its that the kids who played 90s DMD games when they were 10-13 are all hitting 30 and have extra income now? Can't say for sure.
