Absolutely.

I have always enjoyed pinball but pinball arcade rekindled my love. When they added Getaway it brought back all the memories and the next thing I knew I was buying a machine from a pinsider.

The impact is huge. Not only for bringing new people in or fans back but look at what happens to the value of tables that get added to pinball arcade.

I'm shopping for another couple tables right now and the only reason is because I could virtually play them and learn the rules. It's not like I can just go play dozens of tables and pause the action and look at rules as I go otherwise.

If you're one of the people asking what pinball arcade is and you're on this site it's a bit hard to believe you haven't heard of it. Maybe you browse the site with your eyes closed or head buried in the sand.

Exactly.

The point for me is to try out tables I want to buy. If a table isn't in Pinball Arcade the chances of me buying it without experiencing the gameplay are almost zero.

Thankfully Papa tutorial videos help fill gaps.
