    I agree, its definitely a niche market. I do think its great that there is now competition with Stern and JJP to produce great titles. Maybe this competition, together with some remakes, will keep the creative juices going for a while with all companies. I was born in 74 and remember the hay day of the arcade very well but I never gravitated to pins much. I'm still mainly a vid guy but being in this hobby has me crossing over to pins also. To me they go together so well. I would like to see a younger generation to embrace pins...this will be the future. I was at the Contemporary resort at Walt Disney World last night and it was so sad to see their game room pretty much empty. At one time another family came in and enjoyed it but its nothing like I remember from the 80's. They had a small line of pins and half of them were black and not working. It did make me feel good that my son (7 yo) went nuts when he saw the arcade. He ran in like I often did when I was younger and was just in awe. I hate that card swipe thing. There is something about putting a quarter or token in them that is so much better. Anyway, I guess my point is that I feel that in order to keep pinball alive we need to help get younger people into them as well as keep us enthusiast happy.
