I enjoyed playing foosball and pinball for years. When I was single I had a foosball table in my apartment (under a light fixture intended for a dining room table). A year after my wife and I bought our house I started looking for a pinball machine. I figured very few people had pinballs in their homes and one game would be perfect in our family room. But it made too much noise for my wife, so she made me move it to the basement. I might have been content with one pin in our family room, but being stuck in the basement called out for conversion into a game room and the addition of more pins.
