I actually live about 25 miles outside of the city, near Washington.

You know and the song on the alarm clock this morning just so happened to be the Who's Pinball Wizard...

I'm going to now say it's somehow your fault.

It's only my fault if it was immediately followed by Ballroom Blitz.

Woo hoo for another pinball furry!! Yes, they are indeed quite fun to play, and sadly you just don't see them that around anymore(Williams Pinball Hall of Fame for Nintendo Wii seems to be the closest thing these days). I only own one, Gin by Chicago Coin, which is a 1970's era pinball machine. Its not too bad, actually bought it about 14 years ago when I was only 13(saved a lot of allowances for it), but now it resides at my dad's makeshift bar back home,so I never get to see it that much as I used to, so yes space in a house for a pinball machine is quite important.

Good taste in pinball machines too, btw. Certainly can't go wrong with early 90's Data East and Williams creations.

The whole thing that sparked this is finding out about Virtual PinMAME, and being able to go back and play some pretty faithful recreations of these things on my PC. Then the memories come back, and I realize that I really missed playing it.

Yea, the visual pinmame stuff is pretty decent, but you gotta play pinball the way it was meant to be. But yea, those emulators can do a job of recreating those boards and bringing back good memories at the least.

"Do you really want to buy from a basement dealer?"
Yes actually, they don't pay for heavy advertising, so they might actually be affordable.
