anyone into pinball machines?
with arcades being a thing of the past I can't remember the last time I've played one but I think they are fascinating the artwork the complexity of the designs the simplicity of the controls and how unique they are among coin operated machines

I haven't played on a real machine in years, but I just downloaded a couple free pinball games on my Xbox One the other day that was pretty cool. The machines in the game are based off real machines and there are some really fuckin' nifty ones out there. The pizza shop across the street has a couple, I think they have the Terminator 2 machine and a South Park one. Think I may have to pop some doses and a few quarters sometime soon.

I think the reason most people steer away from pinball is because the rules are not initially clear
check this guy out(amazing ball control) *snicker at 6:00 he gets multi ball and is juggling his balls *lol on the left flipper

I know that feel but it's completely understandable how expensive they are they can have 3500+ pieces a ton of hand wound wiring and hundreds of solder points

Terminator 2 is my all time favorite machine. "It's Payback Time" when they drop the accumulated balls is awesome. The skill shots make sense and you can bang it some without tilting. My buddy used to lift up the machine and set the front legs up on his shoes to gain an advantage without banging it. Make it less sloped, but not move the tilt mechanism far enough to set it off. Pretty funny watching him. We would routinely play the entire hour lunch on two quarters.
