I am 60 and was raised on EMs. Since joining the hobby in 1991,my opinion remains that EMs are too simple and without the smiles and exhilaration of modern games. I don't know half of the rules for my B/W games, so depth isn't the issue. I just like trying to keep a higher speed ball in play on a more complex,communicating playfield. I went to Expo and then PHOF in October and just played EMs and 21st C. games (to see what Pinsiders were talking about.) Came away appreciating some newer Sterns but still not the old games. I get the same feeling when I go to our local Model T museum --cool for their day, but amen for the modern cars' performance and features. At least the EMs had cool paint jobs.
