Quoted from o-din:And how The Bridge on the River Kwai would have killed it on location in the early 90s.
Just watched it on TCM the other night. Great movie.

Quoted from o-din:Instead of Back to The Future, 1990 would have given us George Pals' adaptation of HG Wells The Time Machine which would have been alright by me.
I think you could still get away with this theme. But it would have to have the Time Machine with a spinning disc on the playfield. And Morlocks in the lower playfield of course.
Quoted from Buzz:New news article states that over 50% of millinnials get monthly funding from parents. So I guess you would have to fund their pinball machine.

Quoted from o-din:Just like the GenXrs and the Baby Boomers before them, eventually they will get older and possibly find themselves gainfully employed with a house and families of their own.
When they are the ones in their 30s and 40s making money and able to afford these things, will they look back to what's happening in pinball now as cool and nostalgia for them, or remember it only as something their parents and grandparents did to try to recapture their youth.
Many Millennials are already in their mid-30's.
Quoted from Buzz:I think a lot has to do in how one is influenced through their life. When I was a kid there was lots of location pins and vids. Nowadays not too many or none. Makes me think that possible in the future it will be cool to collect ticket redemption games since that's all you see these days. Imagine people talking about how they scored a 92 ticket whatever that they used to play at Chuck E Cheese.
When I see all the redemption games going for practically nothing on the Coinopwarehouse site on a daily basis, I wonder the same thing. Many of the games are not very old. Some working and in excellent condition.
