With the almost inevitable closure of hospitality venues next week , please go out and play pinball in the wild this weekend!
Some retro venues have already closed. Without public exposure pinball will have no new player / owner base and will sadly eventually fade away. I'm sure we would all like to be raising a glass in 2031 for the century of pinball. Ray Foster told me at the pinball owners show in 1995 that pinball would be dead in 10 years. The closure of WMS in 1999 and the lack lustre trade shows in the early 2000s as proving his prediction right. But hey pinball is still here. Go out and flip some flippers and bash some buttons. As it says on Centaur's arm - "Pinball Forever"
