    All,

    Fun posting, some old memories.
    Many people I have met over the years when they originally got into the hobby, went "ape$#%@" not long after they purchased their first machine, and started buying up everything they could get their hands on, working or not.
    I found this photo in my archives, which I took with an old digital camera (smart phones DID NOT EXIST).
    When I visited, I *winced* with humility not trying to offend.
    (In my mind, I was saying you having to be $#%@ing kidding me)

    DISCLAIMER: This is/was NOT my home.
    (but there was a time when it started to resemble this in the dining room and bedrooms)

    Quiz question of the day, does anybody know where this photo was taken and who's apartment?
    He actually had both bedrooms full of machines as well and slept on the floor UNDERNEATH them for a short while, but that quickly changed.
    HINT: It was in the Pacific Northwest in the early 2000s, and the individual no longer owns machines.
    His girlfriends did not appreciate this home very much...

    Share your memories and own stories...

    I winced too. Who needs a TV and a couch cluttering up the house? He could have fit 3 more machines in the space!

    I am like this . Ditched my China cabinet , living room table for pinball. My guest bed room . Bed gone and all furniture . I even had to put my AFM in the opening of the bedroom closet so I could fit 5 pinballs on the east wall. And 4 on the west wall. I have to use a jack to lift up the front of the pinball machine to get the glass off . But hey. I got pinball machines . Lol

    I have seen many photos of pins. The photos that make me think, are the ones with games blocking door ways. Especially when the door looks like an exit. Just seems odd. (Even if the photo was taken in the front door way, doesn't mean the game is in its permanent location, I get that.).
