...but he sure plays a mean pinball!    





Bought "Pro Pinball Ultra" through Steam today.  It's not bad!  Fairly challenging though...



As a kid, I caught the last gasp of actual arcades and pinball machines.  Obviously the electronic version can never compare to a physical machine, but in the long run it's a whole lot cheaper!

I could buy the real thing, but then I'd have to throw out my kitchen table to make room for it!



When I win the $55,000,000 Lotto Max, I will certainly buy a property that can house such novelties such as classic cars and old arcade machines!

And takes up a lot less space in a condo.

I was a pinball wizard. No, really. The No-Tilt Champ, they used to call me.

I can't recall the last time I saw one.

If I had a big enough place, I would have a full size air hockey table. I  can play  that for hours and not get bored.

I love air hockey. Haven't played in a while, though.



Pinball, video games, pool, air hockey... all mastered as I put myself through university working in a huge video game arcade.

What a fun job.

It was.



Except when the time came to write philosophy papers... while sitting under wall-mounted 120-Db output speakers from the jukebox.



You can get used to anything, I guess.

Jukebox, that was a while ago.

That would have been near the end for them.

Not in arcades, though.



Imagine: people paying money to listen to their favourite song. Over and over. And over.

Arcades were the perfect place for such gizmos.



People think video game arcades died in the gaming crash of the early to mid-80's. But, no, these playerful parlours, these dens of ludology, are alive and well.



Minus the jukeboxes, true, but still blooping and bleeping.
