    I own Punchy the clown, Mario mushroom world, nudge-it and bell ringer.... all 2/3rds size games that have 2 leg positions... adult and child heights. This year I brought nudge-it and bell ringer to the SFGE in Atlanta for kids to play. I purchased mario and punchy after SFGE 2016 but next year I will be bringing all 4 games. I hope to have all the ticket dispensers working and some prizes to hand out.

    Quoted from Euchrid:

    Yeah, the possible irony has not been lost on me, for sure. I guess I find that pinball is physical and cerebral where most video games are not. Pinball requires some, albeit small, level of physical movement that vids don't. Call me weird, but I'm also the parent who makes my kids exercise, read literature and have never given them soda in their lives....

    poor kids.
