    All of what Phil-Lee said is 1000% accurate.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    Just as it was TWENTY YEARS AGO when people were saying the exact same thing?

    We are riding a wave right now. People who were able to play pinball in arcades as kids are keeping the market going. We are kidding ourselves if we think this will continue more than another few years. As the 50-65 age group reaches a point of saturation the hobby will start to fade. I myself am 37 and consider myself to be one of the younger members here. My friends don't understand this hobby and have no interest what so ever in it as they prefer video games..... they think this is very old fashioned. Let's do an age check here for my sanity. If there are a ton of 20 somethings here I'll shut up.

    I hope you are right. Nobody here wants to see this hobby die. I'm hoping my daughter's will someday be just as excited by pinball as I am.

    Quoted from pinnyheadhead:

    Yeah. I pretty much have to live with the fact that my son or daughter will not be one of the ones who makes pinball live on in the future. Someone else’s kids will buy my games at my “estate sale”. Hopefully this sale will not be anytime soon.

    Sorry to hear that man. I'd loan you my kids but the wife wouldn't go for it.
