    Quoted from winteriscoming:

    Just curious, did your dad have the radio stuff the entire time you were growing up? Did you have pins the since your kids were born? I don't know whether or not it matters, but I wonder if being exposed to stuff from birth can instill a stronger, lasting interest.

    I think it probably does make a difference. Neither of my kids cares about pinball, but I didn't get into the hobby until they were around six years old. I'm sure if they had literally grown up with them, there would have been a much stronger connection.

    Quoted from jackofdiamonds:

    bring back P2K platform.....so you can blow stuff up with a pinball shot.

    Multimorphic is trying to bring pinball into the present, but I still don't think they will gain much traction with the millenial crowd. That generation has trouble taking their eyes off their phones long enough to actually experience things in the real world.
