My generation saw the dieing end of arcades. I really had no interest in pinball growing up or even thought about it. It wasn't until recently that I discovered pinball. Having a great appriciation for mechanics, electronics and art kind of presented pinball to me as something I overlooked and discovered its magic. I'm 26, bought all of my machines within the last year (well over 10k worth, mind you) and love pinball even moreso than the videogames I grew up with. Off to buy my next pin this weekend!
