[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 286581, member: 134"] See, I think this is what would make the pinball side of things not work. Now you are courting an audience that just wants to play games, and they really don't care what. I've been to these places, they have 4 machines that aren't well kept tucked in the corner and a slew of multicade cabinets. The jukebox will completely drown out the sound of everything, further degrading the pinball experience. In other words, it's most bowling alleys. There's probably a crane machine, DDR, and House of the Dead too. Though instead of pool, it's air hockey. A place solely dedicated to pinball would bring in a different sort of customer. They'll appreciate new titles, become loyal on the prospect that you'll always have the latest and greatest. They'll respect the machines themselves, going so far as to yell at other patrons who do things like slam tilts and banging on the glass. Or at least that's what I'd like to think. [/QUOTE]
