Anyone Here Play Lots of Pinball?

[FrustratedWhiteMale]

I am fascinated by pinball machines. My uncle promised me an arcade size pinball machine, but sadly, he passed. Anyway, back in the 1970's, I played lots of pinball. All the kids did. Every candy store had a pinball machine, surrounded by many kids, waiting their turn to play. It was a quarter back then, and my ever so nice parents gave me lots of quarters. Even today, I am still fascinated by the pinball machine. It is so simple, compared to today's video games, yet so colorful and full of action.

Oh man this brings me back to my childhood. I used to go to this roller skating rink when I was a kid and at this rink they had a few arcade machines from the 80s. Played pinball and pac man there a lot

I liked the arcade a lot growing up. I was born too late to experience the golden age of arcades, but not so late that they were dead yet. Some of my few good teenage memories happened in the the arcade that was in my local mall. I played the fuck out of time crisis 2, thjat star wars pod racing game, and Tekken. One of my fondest memories is from the day of the prom. All the normies were busy preparing for the fuck fest that night while me and a fellow incel went to my favorite arcade and played DDR all day. After the arcade closed I went home to play CS 1.6. Early 2000s as fuck, lol.

Just checked to see if that arcade exists. It appears to have closed down. There is even a google review that says that the mall needs an arcade. Oof.

I played them when they were still playable in gas stations and some other places.
Haven't seen one in almost 20 years

It is pretty cool. A lot of them are complicated though, especially for their time - even for today. I've seen a few pinball machines in public arcades but not often.
