    I didn't play pinball as a kid, small world.. It was because of full tilt ice cream I thought ..this is bad ass I need this in my house... Went and purchased a few machines.. Now all my family, neighbors, friends demand that all parties and evens are at my house.

    As mentioned, for me ... Being able to drink eat and casually play pinball is amazing.. It's like owning a pool table, but less space needed.. And any idiot can play pinball with no skill or desire for skill.

    My name is Kelly I'm 31 and I'm a pinball addict

    Quoted from Don1:

    Will it ever be mainstream? I doubt it, its still for the most part a solo experience, not a social one.

    Understand the point your making but would debate that...

    I find that pinball is actually more social then anything else..

    Pinball is physical, you must touch it.. Xbox "social" it's kids anywhere in their basements not leaving the house.

    That could be the problem, people don't interact with people any more.

    I don't know a game of pinball I play where others don't come watch at a minimum...

    Multiplayer games of pinball are always hot.. Including games with a ..whoever is last buys the next round.
