  1. I wish I had all that money I sunk into them 65 years ago. Skee-Ball in the Asbury Park, NJ Boardwalk arcade took lots of my lawn cutting & paper delivering cash too.

  2. Back in my very long ago air force days I could play one of these for hours and hours for very little money. Until someone came in and 'adjusted' the system and there no longer was any way I could get free games.
    This 'someone' started a new company and has gotten very rich since.
    The name of that company? Dominion.

  3. I visited the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas... lots of historic games and lots of operational games.

  5. Back in my day, games didn't have pixels - they had balls. Of steel.

  6. I had a pinball machine when my wife and I married. My new 13 year old daughter spent many hours playing. When she started dating, we could easily tell which boys she really liked. She let them win.
