    Quoted from AAAV8R:

    When I go the pin bars around town, it's packed with "yutes" in the early 20's to early 30s age range.

    Damn straight. I was in Chicago in April, go to Logan’s Arcade or Replay. The places are packed with anybody from 18 to 50 through the wee hours of the morning. All playing pinball. It is still a niche hobby, but I think that niche will continue.

    I’ve surrounded my friends and even my daughter with it since birth. She absolutely loves playing them and even helps me fix and set them up when a new one comes home. Photo chronology below. Obviously loves BF.

    Will she grow up to own 20 games? Maybe. Will she own two or three? I would say definitely. At minimum, she will force her husband into buying a few to keep in the basement just because it will remind her of me and her childhood. And she will play them.

    All I know is I don’t even have to be in the game room, she’ll go out, turn one on, and start playing all by herself. And she’s only 5.

    Quoted from o-din:

    My daughter is poised to own at least 15..... when I kick the bucket.

    Damn Odiner...didn't even think of it that way. Looks like mine will have about the same...or just have a fire sale at some point. She would most likely keep at least BF or BSD, so there's that...

    Quoted from wayner:

    Yep start em early and they will stick with it!

    All I know is that cabinet on King Pin looks friggin spectacular. But what's with all the tarps?

    Quoted from vwallat99:

    I wanted to share these photos since you guys were sharing pics of your kids. Keep them into it! Maybe 20 years they can recreate something you had/have!

    Very cool. Took my 1812 to a Christmas party yesterday. Some saying young people don’t like pins? 4 player games were going non-stop and constant play from the time the shindig started...through an hour after it was scheduled to be over.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    Kids are so young and innocent and don’t realize how bad premier games are.
    Brings a tear to the eye!

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    That could turn them off for life.

    More positivity out of the peanut gallery!!! Awesome!

    Yeah, except 1812 is one of the more fun Premier games to play...and the audio and callouts are spectacular. If I listed this thing for sale it would be gone in under an hour or two.

    Quoted from Pinsterwmass:

    Ignore the picture.

    WTH? Haha. You know you can remove it. Just edit your post and click on the X that appears over the picture.

    #168 5 years ago

    And finally got done setting up, shopping this thing and upgrading a few other things. She couldn’t wait to jump on it...didn’t even put it in place before she hit the start button.

    This game better Law/Levi?

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    It is better, but I'm not a huge Elektra fan

    Not an easy guy to please.

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    That's actually a strange on for me, I generally love all classic Ballys but there's just something aboot that one I'm not into.

    Quoted from the96stang:

    For me it's a lack of pop bumpers

    If you're a good player it’s a great game.

    Couldn’t have pops. Would kill the flow. The ball constantly flying from the upper to lower PF and vice versa via 4 ramps is part of the overall strategy. And that’s clearly inherent to the design as you can make a lot of the upper PF shots off the lower PF flippers, including the captive ball.
