Are YOU any good at Pinball?

[Still-alive]

I'm a pro at pinball

I'm ok

I suck

Depends on the pinball machine

I've never even played pinball

From Soho down to Brighton, I must've played 'em all
But I ain't seen nothin' like him in any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine
Feelin' all the bumpers, always playin' clean
Plays by intuition, the digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist
A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist

I miss real pinball. We had a roller rink that had a few tables, but it went out of business during covid. Since then I just play virtual pinball. I'm not bad, but I'm not great either. Its just a fun past time for me :D

Pinball? It's been a while ! I wasn't bad at some pinball machines, can't name them, it's too far in time. I don't know if it's a myth or not but... I heard they could be manipulated in order to increase the odds for the ball to hit dead center, heard about it?

Oh and some soundtrack came to my mind, video game type of pinball this time:

It usually depends on the pinball machine, but mostly... I'm not very good at it.

Thanks for the MHO

I find pinball quite fun and enjoyable! 🎮 While I'm not an expert at it, I love the challenge and excitement of trying to hit those high scores. It's a great way to unwind and have a bit of nostalgic fun. Have you tried themed pinball machines? They add an extra layer of excitement!

Hey I played a fair bit of pinball growing up... I loved the old arcades. I got OK at it. Its a blast.

[purplepoppy]

Tried it once as a child and found it boring. Watching a ball bounce around isn't exactly a skill is it?

[DrPepper12]

Listen, here goes:

Darts

Foosball

Billiards

Ladies watch that shit but say they don't...

[Wiredone]

I used to be good at playing pinball but I haven't played it in years

[Abbycado]

I have actually never played. 😬

[Still-alive]

*gaspsssss* lol

[Abbycado]

I don’t know that I have ever seen one. I may have when younger and probably didn’t take note of what the thing was. XD

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Makes sense, in my area, they ceased to be popular around 2000-2005 ?

[Still-alive]

pinballs kinda like a hybrid between an arcade machine and like foosball i suppose. more physically interactive.

[Abbycado]

I remember going to a Dave & Buster’s (vaguely) if Philadelphia when I was really young. May have had those but little Abby was likely too entertained by all the lights and noises. XD

[Still-alive]

yeah you can't beat the lure of lights and noises lol

[LadyBecks]

I'm not so good at pinball

[Ms_Facesitter]

I'd like to think that I am.
