Pinball isn't odd, but it is something of a niche and is definitely looked on by some as odd. That's really what I meant. And hopefully it will continue on for a long time, I'd hate to see such a cool medium disappear. One major show a year in the UK? I imagine it's hell to organize- good on ya for being the standard-bearer! Hey Nick- thanks for stopping by.

Just some of the people who play them! It's not dead either! Well, maybe as a commercial product it is, but there's a healthy supply of events, leagues and meets out there for nostalgic enthusiasts, and some great people on the newsgroups! Count yourself lucky you're in the US, over in the UK there's hardly any arcades with machines left and just one major show a year - I should know, I organise the damn thing! Pinball isn’t odd!

I have a piggy bank that is shaped like a pig but looks like a soccer ball. :) I *think* I may have seen Tilt, but it was ages ago. What's the pinball at your sister's house, Trop? I never had a favorite machine, they're all fun to me. Ha, David- that is a great bank!
