Pinball.....Today.
It goes without saying how much we Love Pinball!
If you read the Forum regularly, one cant avoid the threads for all the New Games we have, and the shows
that highlight their introductions.
But, I also feel something is left out....something I love about Pinball to share, because it takes not only
time and money to get to a show, one needs a bunch left over to consider even owning one of these new games!
For some, this isnt immediately possible. Space, funds, other priorities....it shouldnt stop one from
enjoying, "Whats New", but hurts a little to want one, knowing it may never get to our homes.
Sometimes, I hear the pain from others...the separation of wanting just "one new game", and the reality that may exist.
So, what does this all mean?
To me, I wanted to share that the Love of Pinball, need not be the newest or most expensive game.
The Pin Im most excited about, the one I am playing daily now, is new to me.....Bride of Pinbot.
Before bringing it home, Id only played a handful of games, too noisy to hear, and often not working well.
I never understand how anyone could like this game! And, I could be vocal about my dislike, if that was my goal, anytime I saw a post.
But Surprise, Im falling in love with this title.
Id write a review, as if it was Houdini, to share the joy I am getting from an old game, with lots of playfield wear, under 2K, and leaving all the Sterns dark for a while.
I dont have but a normal few weeks of games on it...a few every night or so, and Im as thrilled as playing GB, TWD, or any other title costing 3-4 times more!
The fun is in playing, and the Newest, Greatest, has serious competition!
Ill share the same for a Blackwater 100 picked up.
Plays amazing, under 2K, and a blast next to BOP!
Being retired, and way out of room, sure, I want the newest games.....but Ill be patient, because there are
more than enough games out there I can afford now that Rock my playing time with just as much fun!
So what excites me about Pinball today?
Not just whats new to the Pinball scene only, but so many titles, I havent invested huge time in, and written off.
So, its any new game, as old as it is, that makes me smile!
Its not just the pin, or the newest pin, its that the joy can be shared with others, because the real fun is
all of You!
All of us!
Thats what makes Pinball fun for me, today....
What have you brought home, not new, that has given you that thrill, of a NIB, and surprised your Fun?
