I am a big fan of pinball machines. I am pretty good at them. Do you enjoy them? What is your favorite?

There was a "Star Wars" themed machine in the PX area of the now-defunct Fort Benjamin-Harrison that wasted a lot of my time back in the day. I had a knack for winning free games with that one.

More than enjoying a game now and then when you can find one is watching the expression on my kids faces when they try to play the non-video game.

Haven't played pinball in awhile but whenever I see an "Adams Family" machine I've gotta play it!

Definitely. Actually, I got my 15 year old son into them and there is a great place in Idaho Springs CO which has a lot of old machines. Flipper Macgills

When the Star Wars one came out a long time ago, on a Jersey boardwalk far far away, I sank every quarter I could get my hands on into it. Decades later, I found the Indiana Jones one (pistol for the ball launch!) and went to town on that one ass well.

They had a free-to-play Avengers themed pinball machine in the basement of the student center at my college. It seemed like I was the only one who actually used it though!
