Some of us Pinsiders have been talking about pinball online for a very long time!
Here's the earliest post I could find that I made on RGP, from 1991...no "gold", but kind of interesting to see reviews of games like Party Zone and T2 from when they were new. It's great to be able to read those old posts. I really don't remember a lot of details from my school days (too much studying and no partying!), so it's a great memory jogger. I was studying mechanical engineering at CU Boulder and had very little spare time, but I always found time for pinball.
I had already been playing for 20 years at that point (I was an older student - graduated at 34). Apparently, it is a very addictive game!!!
