> > I have more pinball machines around me now than I ever have in my life and no interest to play them at all aside from Revenge From Mars once in a blue moon or ST Next Gen to hear the samples. I find pinball less fun with every year I age. The last few times I've played I just left in mid game I was so bored.
> I'm just the opposite, I'm way more into pinball now than I was back in the day. I think that's probably because I can go to places now that have a lot more vintage machines. I find I prefer the older, simpler tables from the late '50s through the mid-to-late '70s, than the later ones that were common when I was a kid. The newer ones just have way too much going on. I'm not all that good to begin with, and half the time I have no idea WTF is going on or what I should be shooting for.
I find it weird someone would be that bored with pinball...unless it was old tables. I can't really hang very long with anything before '86. But as I don't have one of my own, that means putting money into 'em, and unless I'm rockin, I get stingy. VP tables I can sometimes spend an hour or more on, depending.
Ultimately, I like playing vids more, cos the game play will actually vary more, versus pinball being dictated by how well you shoot, and the possibility of continually shooting the same incorrect vector and missing the ramps, etc. resulting in a dead game.
Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
