My dad spent most of his university life playing pinball. He compared it to how people spend it all online nowadays. He met some of his best friends at pinball. He triedplaying it on the PC, and he enjoyed it, but he said it just wasn't the same. He also, when he sees a "new" pinball game where you get a replay at 16 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 points goes on about how much better it was at university. Replay at 60 000. I'd wanted to get into it, but we've got Quake! What am I supposed to do? Of course, just because they wrote an article doesn't meen it's dead...merely dying.
This very vaguely reminds me of a MAD magazine joke about splitting up the USSR: Instead of one country with enough nukes to destroy the world 70 times, we have 70 countries each able to destroy it once. Extremely irrelevant.
