    Quoted from radium:

    I'm grateful to TPA for getting me back in touch with pinball.
    After I left for college in the late 90's, I didn't have anywhere to play and just kind of lost track of pinball. Now, pinball is all but extinct in the wild where I live. It wasn't until I picked up TPA that I got curious about it again.
    TPA is cool to have a look at machines I've never seen or played before. That said, it doesn't play like the real thing or even close.

    Same here. Once in a while, I would find a pin on route but it would be beat and poorly maintained. Without knowing rules, parts that don't work, and my poor skills, it would seem like a waste of money. I tried pinball emulators on the pc but it was almost impossible to get working. Pinball Arcade was great in that in ran on my ipad and worked flawlessly. I discovered a whole bunch of pins I never knew existed and got me excited about pinball. It plays nothing like the real thing but still fun in it's own way. I wish they could improve the graphics a bit with dynamic lighting. One of my favorite things about pinball is the light show.
