I have a decent personal collection and feel that I keep all my personal games in great-playing shape… … but I LOVE location play… even playing inferiorly maintained versions of games I own…even when I’m scoring 25% of my average. For me, there’s just a thrill to being “out playing pinball”. I don’t know if it’s the thrill of free balls, extra games, getting a high score, seeing something new, or the social aspect, but it all comes together for an enjoyable experience. It’s almost like playing at home is ‘practicing’ and playing on location is ‘game time’.
