Nice, good to see young males playing pinball. Most are too busy texting crap. I spent my whole youth outside of the class room at the bowling alleys or arcades playing pinball. 1978-1982, then played pinball at college also. Now there are almost no pins to play on location the last 25 years from legalised video slots or gaming.
