    I also don't think that nostalgia alone is the driving force behind pinball. Take myself for example. I recently got into pinball a few months ago after discovering that it did not die out in the late 90s when arcades disappeared. I played occasionally as kid, but I was always more focused on the video games at arcades. Video games have been my main hobby ever since I was a kid playing on my VIC 20. Now that I am older, I find that I do not have as much time to devote to video games and am struggling to keep my interest. Pinball is a game that works for me because I can play a game for a few minutes and have a great time.
