Quoted from zippydapinhead:Pinball rules, but pussies? Think not. Do you remember the 80's arcade scene? Pacman, asteroids and defender everywhere, pins in the corner unplayed, and eventually gone. Vids have their place in the gameroom just as much as pins. Plus they take up less room and are MUCH easier to maintain. That said I like pins better and only have a couple arcades.
Video games killed pinball.
