I made a den. And bought a pin ball machine.

The boys and girls club I went to after school in elementary scool had the baseball themed one that would give out real baseball cards. Never got any good ones but it was a cool concept.

Had a Street Fighter 2 machine right next to it too. Hustling kids for vending machine money was my first introduction to gambling.

I never played much on real machines. I remember growing up my local movie theater had a Mary Shelley's Frankenstein table. That was the only real one around that I knew of. But I've played a shitload of the digital recreations of classic tables. Pinball FX3 is definitely worth looking into. The one's I liked the most were...

Mars Attacks
Taxi
Champion Pub
Monster Bash

Pinball machines were cool, I remember there was a time from the 80s until the mid 90s where pretty much any studio picture got a pinball game as part of the movies promotional campaign. I remember as a kid seeing a pinball games for Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, Batman Returns, Addams Family, and Lethal Weapon 3 all at the same arcade.

Can't remember. Can you make out what brand this Kevin Smith/Chip Chipperson hybrid is holding up?

You'd choose the pitch type from the buttons (could also steal bases, do hit and runs, etc) and then the pinball would come out from the green flap by the pitcher, your only flipper was the bat at home plate. That screaming baseball was a ramp that would occasionally go up so you could potentially get home runs into the upper decks for more cards.

As a kid my dad impulse bought this 1940's Yankee themed one. Was always in various states of disrepair and was always open air.. didn't have the glass panel over everything. The guys would run around the bases though.
