Yup, that's right. All these years I spent walking by rows and rows of pinball machines at FunSpot in NH, and I just started playing a couple of months ago. I'm glad I did (to an extent,) because it's become an addiction of sorts. As of now, I do not own any machines yet, but I am planning on picking up a few machines in the future. First in the collection will be the game that started it all for me: Funhouse. I don't know what it is. That game rips you off more than any other, yet I love it; it's a blast. Plus, after a while, I finally understood that in order to really get into a pinball game, you have to learn the rules. After I got that through my head, I was hooked. Mostly, I have played many of the Pat Lawlor titles; they're easy to find. It's funny, after a while I started to notice certain likenesses present in many of the Lawlor titles. Odd number of flippers, ballfeed off-center down by the flippers, either extra ball or jackpot either a straight shot high up on the playfield center, or a side shot attainable using the odd flipper up top. So many great pins, so little time. Anyway, that's my background.

Better late than never man! PL has some great games, including my favorite, Twilight Zone. I bet working at a place like Funspot was a real kick! The great thing about owning games is you can stop worrying about quarters and start focusing on the gameplay!
