I posted earlier, but have been pondering this more.
I am going to start this post like any Old Man Should.
"When I was a kid"...video games were just in their infancy. Actually was in High School at the time "Pong" Commercial Video Machines were being brought into the Bowling Alleys next to the Pinball Machines. I teased my friends for wasting their Quarters to play such a stupid game, instead of Standing at the Pinball Machine. We also had Foosball and Air Hockey available to play.
Anyhow...fast forward 50 years. The video games and current simulation programs are a wee bit more engaging than Pong was. However I always have been a Pinball Guy. BTW, I really dislike the Pinball Machines that came into vogue in the 1980's, that use computer technology. To me "REAL" Pinball Machines are Purely Electro-Mechanical Machines. The crazy thing is young people have started playing Pinball. "Who woulda thunk", (maybe tied into the resurgence of Vinyl (Records)). I don't know.
Anyhow, PLEASE let's leave well enough alone with our Toy Trains and Computer Train Simulators and not try to combine them somehow.
