Quoted from rai:what some people may not get is that some of us don't have arcades or Barcades in our location. If I want to play pinball, it's way more easy and convenient to play in my basement.
And you don't have to pay retail for the 12 beers you're gonna drink...not a drop in the bucket.
Quoted from dmbjunky:Yikes. That Avatar is scary.
Thank you
Quoted from jwilson:Oh yeah, also - almost no one I know played pinball in arcades when they were teens, us 40-somethings all played Pac-Man and shit.
Funny I don't know anyone that played Pac-Man in their teens...then again I guess it's all which time frame it was.
Quoted from TRAMD:I do sometimes wonder how some of you have enough money to buy pins when you can't even capitalize, use punctuation or use the correct your/you're or their/there/they're.
haha 
I was wondering when this thread would finally hit rock bottom, surprised it took so long
Quoted from dmbjunky:You guys didn't look at that pic.
I did but my goddamn rods and cones melted so it took me a few to recover.
Quoted from DaveH:and dump quarters into Pac-Man. Those were some fun times. We had the whole game memorized and would get to the key levels where one tiny incorrect flick of the joystick ended the game. Good times.
By our teens the fighting games were becoming top dogs around here, besides pins. Mrs. Pac-Man maybe, but she blew Pac-Man out of the water 
and it was almost impossible to find and actual PM.
Quoted from Pinballlew:I don't believe Flinstones are anywhere near $4k yet.
It's a lot more popular than you'd think for being basically a 300lbs circus peanut; but agreed 4K isn't realistic. It doesn't top 3K (from actual sellers).
Quoted from rai:I know some will give me thumbs down, but the value is just not there.
Those who bought (likely) said it's just 80 of a kind so it'll go up.
I bought GOT & there are a lot of people that make 3 times as much as I do per year & paying 3 times as much for a SLE just isn't as big of a deal to them as it is me.
I don't think that points to them treating games as an investment.
Quoted from Stones:I will eagerly await the "Stern to release Tron VE soon?"
Grab some wood there bub...I hear he's got a rock solid plan to fix the top 100 thread. "Now the problems YOU people have been doing are...."
Quoted from g0nz0:Did rarehero have the definitive answer on those post also?
Rarehero wasn't here 10 years ago so there's no way of rating his foward-thinkingness against yours.
I'll have to go back 5-6 years and see what he said, then wait 4-5 years form now and check his answers.
At that time I'll pop into this thread which will somehow still be being going in tedious loop of non sensible horseshit.
Funny I bet in 10 years people won't still be saying 'horseshit.'
The Magno-Slings ®™ are not that horrible...I mean they don't work that well and the 1 switch on them seems to be a bad idea, but they don't ruin it for me.
I'm wondering what we would think if they were put on a good machine? The 1 switch is still bad, but I wonder on a game that isn't so...well...GBish what they would be like 
Quoted from Rarehero:I really never want to play GB again but if I did - I'd rather play the Pro I think.
Haha the grass is greener? 
Right ramp that isn't a ramp
Right scoop that isn't a scoop
Slings sending most balls down the shitter
