Does Pinball Arcade count? I started playing that online and couldn't stop. I purchased all the available tables.
In real life I started playing Ripley's Believe it or Not (RBION) and kept getting free games. I loved it because I could put in 50 cents and play for 30 minutes easily! This was only like 6 years ago.
Ahhh..... memories.
Quoted from Hammerhead:High Speed, I was 15..
I remember playing this when I was little. I couldn't have been more than 10 or 11. I played at an arcade while my mom was in a bowling league. She gave us $5 and that was that.
Anyway, I always avoided pinball because I didn't understand it. But I thought the siren was cool so I gave High Speed a shot. I plunged and watched the ball go around and it drained right away. I thought right then and there "pinball is stupid! never again!"
I tried to play the other two balls but never really hit anything. I gave up and didn't play pinball again for 15 years haha. Now that I realize how awesome it is, I wish I had given High Speed a few more shots. I might have been hooked, and I'd surely be better than I am today.
