I'm bias as I prefer older 80's pins to the newer ones but it was the simplicity of pins back then that got me hooked. I could walk up to any pin anywhere and inside of a game or two had it figured out and could go at it. Many of the newer pins require ownership to learn all the ins and outs of play, for me that takes away some of the fun. Don't get me wrong I like playing the newer pins with all the toys etc. but it seems like it takes much more thought to have a basic understanding of what you need to do in order to have great games. I don't play a lot of Play station and xbox due to the same reasoning having to remember pressing buttons in certain order and patterns just makes it seem more like work than fun......just my opinion though.
