For me, it's a combination of 1, 2 and 3 - but all fueled by the internet. Many years ago, I stumbled across the IPBD. Seeing the games I played in the late 70's and early 80's brought back a flood of memories, and re-sparked my interest in pinball. I started looking for some pinball video games, and like others - the Williams classic collection was like throwing gas on the fire of my pinball interest. Being able to see and hear those old familiar sounds (Black Knight and Firepower) made me want to take the next step. The internet helped me locate a local dealer. Once I was on the showroom floor, looking at the vast collection of pins - I was done - I had to have one. ...then two, then three - y'all know the rest of this story.
