He changed pinball into the form we all know and love it.

 

Well, that sucks.

Is there a national paintball day or something? If so we need to declare it.

 

^Haha, paintball...

I've never liked pinball as a game, but I've always been fascinated by the design and look of the cabinets.

 

I love pinball. Long time ago the GF and I decided when we finally have a game-room we are putting at least one pinball machine and one arcade cabinet in it at some point.

I don't think there's a holiday for pinball though. Google comes up with nothing on the first page at least. And no one looks past the first page.

 

Never cared for Pinball, but I just played the Marvel pinball on PS3 and it was pretty fun. At least I beat Brett's score HAHA

 

lived to be 100. awesome. love pinball

 

Dan, you didn't beat my score, you beat my son's.

 

Sure Brett, like you ever let your kids play anyways. Controller hog.

 

I wish! The worst part is that I get relegated to my crappy old PS3 while they use the Slim. #nonparentsjustdon'tunderstand

 

I was told there is still a state that have pinball illegal for being a gambling machine. Because of a bureaucratic mishaps back in the 1950's i was told.

But i do know they they stop mass producing pinballs recently. And it's sad cause it's a really fun machine... Spend the best of my quarters on those.
