This |newsgroup was created to discuss video games, not pinball games. Ha! There's been more of those damn Zelda postings in the last 3 months than there's been pinball traffic in the last 3 years. Video games are much more closely related to pinball than to home systems. Besides, postings for home systems should be in rec.games.misc anyway. (Stuff about NES, etc. DOES show up in there occasionally.) rec.games.misc needs splitting as it is, but I've tried that before and ran into a large wall of indifference. (Of course, last time that was tried, someone threw in with it the absolutely brain-dead idea of combining the various groups rec.games.hack, rec.games.rogue, rec.games.moria etc. in with it, which only resulted in flames from those folks.)
