Pinmem Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hello Everyone, I have joined a few of weeks after discovering Aussie Arcade on Google. I thought for a while there wasn't to many people who enjoyed the beauty of Pinball. For me it started a year ago when I was looking for a 1970's Star Trek Bally Machine which reminded me of my youth playing it at the local mini Golf in Wollongong. Now many years later I rediscovered the joy of Pinball in the 90's Machine. I started with one pinball and now have four. I am glad I have found a place where I can read so many interesting comments and Ideas of what people have to say about the love of this Hobby and hopefully I will place my thoughts as well. Oh by the way the picture is my son Thomas who likes music and dancing and hope pinball soon(His first pinball was a Mickey Mouse) and yes the wife Enjoys them as well when she has time.

Railways Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Greetings and welcome. Just a tip though if you do your introduction in the general chat section at the top of all the menus on Main forum you will get a lot more replies as it might go unseen by some here in this chapter:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
