Pinball, does anyone remember what that is anymore?
October 26th, 2008 . by adminVideo games on our cell phones. PS3, XBOX, and Wii in our homes. Video games on the PC, on your web browser. Anytime you want to play a game, it is only an arm length away.
What about pinball? Any of you remember that? The big shiny stainless steel ball that rolls around the lit table, and you slap it with the flippers, one on each side?
Or is this something only 35+ year old people remember?
Tonight while picking up a pizza, I saw two pinball machines. That use to be the standard fare before. Visit a pizza joint, play pinball while you wait.
It’s actually a lot of fun.
Pinball is something that seems to have been lost in this day and age. The thought of playing something mechanical, yet electronic, based on skill seems to have been lost.
Today I had about 15 straight minutes of fun, for less than a dollar.
Even bowling costs more..
Maybe it is time to re-introduce pinball into our daily lives. Its a fun game, it just has been shunned over last 10 or so years, because so many new things seem to have replaced it.
But guess what? Nothing compares to pinball, we just need to stop forgetting about it.
