First pin I remember was I think a Sinbad at the Polish home in Rome, NY back in the late 70's/early 80's. After that I played lots and lots of video arcade games, only encountering a pin here or there at a bowling alley or something. It wasn't until I built a home MAME machine a few years ago that the wife posed the "Could we get a pinball?" question and I was hooked.
