well guess what guys...hes no ordinary kid. with a whopping 8 votes ...drum roll pleeeeaaase....tz who woulda thought. from the moment we walked in he was drawn to it . dont no why but i tried to entice him to one of the others by pointing out the toys and themes. he was having none of it and stayed focus on the task at hand, getting quarters from dad to play tz. good taste? beginners luck? act of god? or so freakin what? you decide
My dad is not a pinhead and did not watch the shows but TZ draws him in as well.

I just came across this and thought I'd add a little something you might find interesting. At the end of the season TZ tied SM for first place (OK, Spidey won by $20 technically), and the next runner up wasn't even close. We watched them all season and TZ and SM went back and forth each week for the top spot. It was nice to see that an old pin can still compete with the newer titles. Also, let your son know TZ will be there again this season waiting for him!

Quoted from lowepg:only if there's no redemption machine nearby.... ;-(
Yeah, I would have voted for one of those damn rigged "key hole" games. The ones where the settings make them the equivalent of a slot machine.

Quoted from tp:Kid walks into an arcade has choice...
That sounds like the set-up to a joke, like "a priest walks into a bar". But what part of the kid was choice? He had choice...what? Eyebrows? Biceps? Bluejeans? You have to give more information so we can finish the joke.
Unfortunately, the real answer is not in the poll, "none of the above". Unless this arcade only has pinball machines, it would probably be any other machine in the arcade.

Not if it was my kid, my 7 year old daughter loves her pinball, possibly because her dad is obsessed with it. (Not that there is anything wrong with it)
