    OP
    Quoted from LTG:

    UltraPeepi brought up a good question in the "Why Do People Leave The Hobby" thread.
    It's been 13 hours and he didn't start the topic yet. So I'm doing it for him.
    Please don't just respond. Do a little soul searching. And post what you love about pinball that keeps you in the game.
    Your responses may well help others. Especially if they are thinking of jumping ship because they lost their way and forgot what they used to enjoy about pinball. Your response may help you too.
    LTG : )

    I simply can't afford it anymore. I'd love to work on new project games, but they're gone and flipped before I can even respond now. The days of $300 junkers SYS11 games are over and done. It was fun while it lasted. I still play the two I held onto a few times a week though.

    Quoted from merccat:

    Just means it's time to go classic Bally... picked up two junkers with great backglasses and cabinets for under 300 just a couple weeks ago. There are also some really fun EM's out there.
    I know some don't like them because the ball moves slower but they are challenging in a different way and in lots of ways are actually harder than many more modern games.

    I'm an electronics guy, so even though I like EMs, I wouldn't like working on them as much. I like debugging roached hacked up SS games.
    I'd love to find some early SS Bally junkers for under $300.
