I look for a way out! I get extremely nervous around people, I keep my cell phone on me when I have to go out in public so if I get really nervous I will pull my phone out and play some pin-ball....I crush it too! :twisted:

I can't believe they still have many pinball machines where you are...

I used to play pinball as a kid in the 1970s.

Lol, they have many versions, apps for phone. The absolute best I have found is 'Pinball Deluxe'. You get 4 tables for free, I love it so much I bought the extra tables, though in daily challenges you can play any table for free. They have some really nice tables. Every other pinball app I've played is much lower grade, the creators did an excellent job!

Have you ever actually played pinball on a physical pinball machine?

One thing that ruined it for me was when a kid knew how to "tilt" so he can get millions of points without earning them.

My brother and I had a pinball machine in the 70s, in the room with our pool table. :wink: I don't remember what it was called but I loved the sounds and lights.

There was a pinball machine at the candy store where many kids hung out

You should see the line----and the fights----just to use that machine!

It was 25 cents for two "plays.' It became a bad habit because I spent most of my allowance on it.

The only Pac-Man machine I ever played was in a local florist shop near me in the early 80s.
It was the same sort of ruckus there.

I played Ms. Pacman obsessively about 1982-1983. I still only got to 100,000 points a couple of times. I even met a girl once while I played Ms. Pacman.

The home versions of video games were very poor back in the early 80s as compared with the arcade versions.

Yes I've played on a real table, though I was very young and not that great. If I had lots of money, I would probably collect tables for the enjoyment of obsessively playing :D

I use to play at 'Shaky's', a restaurant that served pizza, think I was about 7 years old

LOL! It's a game where you have two flippers for striking a ball as it falls down, it's hard to describe, it's very addictive. God I can't believe I'm getting this old. :( You should try it, it's very fun, great for taking your mind off of things.

I play on a screen, it's on my phone. Go to google play or a place where you can download apps on your phone, go to the game search and type in 'Pinball Deluxe', it's free to download and play. That is the best version I have found, it's awesome. Sharpen your pinball skills, become a pro! :ninja:
