I believe pinball was popular in a time where certain generations grew up playing it as our way of having some fun. Computer game consoles started entering the market but I never really got the same enjoyment out of playing them as I did with pinball. Now many of the same generations can afford, to some degree, a pinball machine in their home. It started as a hobby but now is a sickness. I may need to build on to my home to support my passion. Pinball is a part of my past that I can relive each and every day. It is a part of my past that still makes me feel like a kid.
