I have become addicted to say the least and am buying more (much to my wifes displeasure) but my eight year old daughter loves them and thats the excuse i use ofcourse.At almost 40 yrs of age, I hadnt found anything i really loved as a hobby but thought i would buy a Simpsons pinball for my daughter but couldnt find one-early data east..It then grew from there.The funny thing, I never played a pinball ever until 6 months ago.I think Pinball has to be the most interesting hobby out there.Great fun and i have met lots of great people.
