    I don't recall really playing pinball much prior to my high school years, I know I did, but nothing stuck with me. My friends and I would go to the bowling alley occasionally after school. They had 2 pinball machines there, Funhouse and T2 and we would spend hours playing them. A few years later I worked for a cable company and I went into this one persons' house and I remember he had 4 SS machines lined up in a room above his garage and I thought that was pretty cool - and wasn't until then that it dawned on me you could have a pinball machine at home. Shortly thereafter I found out about arcade auctions and bought my first machine, a Xenon. That was in 1995.
