Why are pinball machines addictive?

[SilverCoin]

Here are my former pins. The Sound Stage EM is something that I got for free. I never got it working and eventually gave it away. There definitely is something addicting about pins. Its completely different than video games. I think it takes more concentration to play a pinball. Both types of games are controlled environments with their own rules but lpinball is more reactionary (if that is a word). You really have to be paying attention. If there is a really good theme, music and sound effects its easy to get pulled in. Video games can be the same way but trying to control a moving physical object without being able to touch it is a fairly unique experience.

Yep, Black Knight 2K is on the list of wants.. missed out on one at a SA. went for under 900.00 if I remember right..

Pinball

I started out as a arcade machine fan and just have become a big fan of the pins. Not so much an EM fan, I like the digital. It's the game play for me that does it, it doesn't get boring. Not that arcade games get boring, I still love mine. Pins are just different, the feel, sounds, lights. They go great together in the game room.
