Pinball is and will be a history lesson for younger people now and in the years to come. When they no longer read books, they will still be able to see what popular culture was when their grandparents were alive.

Pinball is and will be a history lesson for younger people now and in the years to come. When they no longer read books, they will still be able to see what popular culture was when their grandparents were alive.
Quoted from KozMckPinball:How many young people can afford a $8500 toy?
Quoted from Colsond3:Will she grow up to own 20 games? Maybe. Will she own two or three? I would say definitely.
My daughter is poised to own at least 15..... when I kick the bucket.
Mine wants to keep Big Daddy and Stars. She could give a damn about any of the rest of them.
They might enjoy the novelty when they are small children, but they grow into young adults fast and the last thing many of them want to deal with at that age is lugging around a bunch of 250 pound machines, especially the ones with laughable (not comedy) themes.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:I would think struggle buggies weighs only around 200.
Pinky was lighter and shorter. SB was when they went to a full size cabinet. Both gone now.
But she still plays the heck out of Stars. Who doesn't?
Quoted from FlashDaddy:The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households.
