Well, for years I've been trying to convince my wife that woodrail games are works of art, Americana that belongs in the main living area of the house. If you're like me, all of your games have been banished to your basement gameroom man cave and your arguments remain unconvincing. Restoration Hardware has launched its sales of various restored, woodrail pinball machines [e.g. 1959 Gottlieb Universe]($3,995 plus delivery) and vintage arcade games [e.g. Galaga] ($2,995 plus delivery) marketed to mainstream consumers for display (like fine furniture) and use (like an Xbox, I suppose).

Men and women on this forum----what do you think? Has the apocalypse arrived or is this marketing effort a flash in the pinball coin pan?
p.s. I do not have any financial interest in Restoration Hardware. ;>
