Hey, arcade fan here ^^.
I’m not sure how I should phrase this, but I’m going to give it a shot.
Why you guys like playing the arcade cabinet? Why you guys like the original cabinets?
To be honest, I don’t even know why I play them. I don’t feel like there’s anything special about it. It’s just there.
Sometimes, the cabinets are the only way I play pinball.
Well, at least I know I have a reason to play those. When I’m out with friends, or something, sometimes we go to the game room and play pinball games, but they have these modern pinball games with lots of cool features.
But the original cabinets still has fun.
There are many reasons why the originals are the way they are. There are also many reasons why they aren’t perfect.
In this article, I’ll talk about the good and the bad.
I’ll explain the flaws I found in the originals, and give some suggestions to make them better.
What will you get out of this article?

I’m a pinball addict and I really enjoy old games, so I feel like my perspective might be useful. If you don’t enjoy pinball games, it won’t matter for you.
