Had an awesome afternoon of playing pinball today. I picked up my nephew(14) from school today and we played all of the pins I have at my house for 4 hours straight. He had so much fun, he said to me "can we do this more often"? He has gotten pretty good at playing and even got a score of over 15 billion on attack from mars. He told me that scared stiff is and always will be his favorite.
 
That's great! We need more young one's in the hobby.

My son is home from College and five of his friends came over and were blown away at my game room. It was very cool watching youngsters lined up playing pins and actually enjoying it. I'm used to seeing them playing XboX or all that jazz...they like it A LOT, and I liked watching them play.
I sure would like to see pins come back in style!
 
Very cool man, way to go! I really like hearing stuff like this. Let's corrupt them away from the darn Xbox and Wii's.

Happy Holidays.

I have 4 sons. 11, 8, 7 and 4

They all play and enjoy it. I started taking the then 3 yr old w/ me to pick up pins a year ago. He will know pinball from the time of his first memories. It's really something to see a 4 yr old watch a ball roll down and pick up the flipper to trap it and make his shot. He certainly doesn't understand rules etc, but its fun seeing him enjoy the games.
 
I find the young kids REALLY like pinball, even over video games. My niece and nephew, both 4.5, love playing pins. First thing they want to do when they come over, before playing wii, puzzles or anything else. They've been playing since they've been 2, and it is crazy to watch them catch the ball, and make an intended shot.
 
I have 3 boys, 10, 8, and 5. They love playing the 1 pin I have up and running right now. My 5 year old is actually pretty good. We always play 4 player and they all try to beat daddy.
It's a blast.
 
When we got to see that op's warehouse yesterday, I think he was more ecited then I was. He said "let's go home and come back with the truck and trailer".
