Megaditto. Just pinball, never video games.
Uncoordinated as I was I somehow learned pinball techniques and became terrific.

I seemed to go into a zone in which I observed myself playing from outside of myself. My buddy called it “going Zen” when I did it. The ball seemed to move wherever I felt it should move.

You should try video games now.

2-360 degree thumb sticks
4-way left thumb arrow control
4 buttons for right thumb actions
2 left index finger buttons
2 right index finger buttons

LOL…I was your opposite. The ball often went where I didn’t want it to go.

I was a college student in 1970. 25¢ a play back then didn’t seem that much at the time, but I just checked and that is equivalent to $1.81 today! You wouldn’t catch me tossing $2 a play into a machine today!
