pinball

You can't beat a game of Pinball. We don't mean those simulated computer things, we're talking about real Pinball. Bumpers, flippers and tilts. Wood, metal and plastic, and of course those frustratingly uncontrollable silver balls. From the early flipperless machines, through electromechanical and early solid state, to the all-singing-and-dancing latest releases from Stern Pinball. A rich history of machines with an even richer history of people and their involvement.

With fantastic resources like the Internet Pinball Database, many events, leagues and meets (Pinball News) and up-and-coming blogs such as appropriately named The Pinball Blog, pinball is enjoying a huge resurgence in popularity worldwide.

Best yet, the virtual pinball machine has some of the most famous Gottlieb games like 2001 and Gold Strike. Sure, it’s expensive, but compared to the cost of actually buying 17 ...
