I remember playing arcade games (Simpsons, Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat) a lot more than pins when I was a kid...
My dad was the one always playing pinball. Actually, I hardly ever played pinball machines, except for STTNG. This is the machine that pulled me in and made me a fan.
Took me 21 years, but I got one and I'm never selling it. Now I hardly ever play arcade games.
