I thought I was the Bally table king, but I just handed my pinball crown to him.

"How do ya think he does it?"
I don't know. 
"What makes him so good?"
Did you watch Sir Elton's 60th B'day celebration last night?
Good show. He can still belch 'em out.

In 1977 my family went on a six week camping trip around the United States.
*theme song from Vacation plays*
Imagine this... A station wagon and a pop-up camper.
Anyway, I digress... My brother saved quarters for a year and toted them around the country in a couple of gallon milk jugs. As soon as we got the trailer parked and level my brother was off to the rec hall to play pinball while we women folk stayed back at camp to set up. We wouldn't see him again until dinner and then he'd be off again til dark. My sister and I would always sing "Pinball Wizard" to him.
Thanks, Jim, for teaching us the art of slapping your quarter down on the machine to say, "I'm next."

I heard THAT Bro. Some people played for high score...
I shot for the free game/extra ball targets.
And hitting the top glass with the ball gotcha a beer.
Good times.

Not exactly pinball, but still...
I built my own arcade control panel, and have a computer that runs MAME (arcade emulator) in my little slice of heaven at home.
I can provide pictures if anyone's interested.
