Pinball. What ever happened to pinball? It is classic, it is cool, it is mechanical, and I want a pinball machine. I know this comes with a lot of maintenance and upkeep, but that is part of the appeal... It is also why I think that brands should get back in the game (pun not intentional, but I'm kinda glad it happened). I've been poking around the ipdb, and there are some great games from everyone from NASCAR to Playboy to Jurassic Park.I'm pretty sure it would get attention, and over time become collectable... But where would you put a pinball machine nowadays? About the only place I can see making sense is in a Burger King. Not only would people have to go to a restaurant to play, but BK might actually be bold enough to try it. Other than that, I'm having trouble figuring out where one might go. Where would you put one?
Also, I'm really upset I haven't seen a steampunk pinball machine yet. That would make my week.
