It's interesting how much more enthusiasm there seems to be for pinball these days, in comparison to classic arcade games. Supporting hobbyists who restore old pinball machines was a major purpose of this event.
I also have to say how surprised I was by my experience of going around this convention and replaying all of the old arcade games from my youth: although it brought back memories to see them again, none of the games themselves struck me as being that much fun to play any more, even though I still enjoy their modern equivalents from time to time.
