What is a pinball machine?
People don't see them all that much anymore, but anyone who has ever been a fan of arcade games will have heard of the pinball machines - these behemoths are boxlike creatures in which one inserts coins in order to activate the pinball game. The pinball game, as many of us know, involves taking control of one or more metal balls in such a way that they would roll over surfaces that would, effectively, get them more points. The object of the pinball game is to score as many points as you can, and in order to do this, you have to keep the game going for as long as possible. You do this by winning extra metal balls, extra plays, and the like. And because the original pinball games take a lot of physical activity in order for a person to properly play it, it is not at all surprising that pinball machines tend to be very sturdy; their bodies are made of either strong wood or strong metal, and they have clear, strong glass through which you can track the progress of your game. Pinball machines go through a lot of hitting, slamming, and the like, and they are some of the more glorious game machines in the world. Of course, they have now been replaced by other machines of entertainment, and the pinball game has now been translated into more convenient computer programs that anyone can play at home. But there is magic when one plays with pinball machines, and the challenge is most definitely attractive.
What happened to pinball?
People of the early 80's moved away from the pinball tables and moved to the flasher new arcade machines instead. The pinball manufactures tried to combat this by making video pinball hybrids like 'Ms Pac Man' where the pinball table was inside an arcade cabinet along side the traditional Pac Man game. But when home entertainment in the mid 80's came along people moved away from the arcades so the pinball manufactures had no choice but to move away from the hybrids and make the traditional pinball table for the pinball loyalest. During the 90's the pinball popularly kept on dropping and manufacturers started going bankrupt including, in 1996, the formally big company Gottlieb that has been selling pinball since 1927. Two other big company's merged becoming Bally/Williams to keep alive during this period. In 1999 Bally/Williams created a table so revolutionary they calmed it would save pinball, it was named 'Pinball 2000' and it included a holographic display on the playfield. However only two tables got made, and where profitable, before Bally/Williams ceased production of pinball too concentrate on the more profitable slot machines. The last pinball company, Sega Pinball, went bankrupt after Sega's failed Dreamcast in late 1999. Determined not to let pinball die Gary Stern brought out Sega Pinball and named it Stern Pinball and now remains the only pinball manufacturer and with no completion they are returning a profit.
