I would encourage anyone interested in pinball to join a local league in your area. Meet some new people, & have some fun playing pinball. I'm 52 & in my high school years enjoyed early electronic pinball machines. Mostly Bally games in my area, & still prefer these to collect 1978 - 1982. I just finished #1 in the last tournament on newer Stern pins. The younger guys in my league got to play these pins & know the rule sets. I came in cold turkey to most, & tried to get long game play. So even people with out good knowledge of the game, still can win.

Here is my standing, & I came in second last year. https://www.ifpapinball.com/player.php?t=p&p=7481
