As a kid pinball I thought pinball was boring and a waste of quarters. I was an arcade game addict and spent way too much time and money playing games like Mortal Kombat (original) and Street Fighter II.
I remember being in the arcade one afternoon, when they brought in a brand new T2 pin. The op gave me some free games and I thought the game was a blast. Fast forward 15 years and T2 was one of the first pins I bought, TAF was shortly there after.
Sadly both got boring being in a home environment and were sold, good times.
