Per Wiki: "Pinball (originally called pintable in the UK) games are a family of games in which a ball is propelled into a specially designed table where it bounces off various obstacles, scoring points either en route or when it comes to rest. Historically the board was studded with nails called 'pins' and had hollows or pockets which scored points if the ball came to rest in them. Today, pinball is most commonly an arcade game in which the ball is fired into a specially designed cabinet known as a pinball machine, hitting various lights, bumpers, ramps, and other targets depending on its design. The game's object is generally to score as many points as possible by hitting these targets and making various shots with flippers before the ball is lost. Most pinball machines use one ball per turn (except during special multi-ball phases), and the game ends when the ball(s) from the last turn are lost. The biggest pinball machine manufacturers historically include Bally Manufacturing, Gottlieb, Williams Electronics and Stern Pinball."
Do you remember going to the Arcade & playing it? What do you call it there? We call it Pinball & I do remember playing it but wasn't that good. Sometimes the flippers just weren't long enough lol

I've only ever played a few physical machines, otherwise I mostly played pinball space cadet, a very popular free game on early windows machines.

Okay, I'm going to admit that I'm really awful at these types of games!! My neighbor had one in his house as well as a jukebox, so when I babysat, I could use both...and I ended up using the jukebox more than the pinball game.

Oh yeah! Hell yeah! I wouldn't say I was good. Not something I did all the time. My mom and dad owned a bar and I played. Then they upgraded to Pong.
