Great post!
I agree, and I suspect that's why many of us love the game of pinball. Aside from those few who are just natural or learned players, for some of us approaching a game has you wondering what new clever way it will manage to sling the ball to cause a drain!
It never ceases to amaze me that this game that has a dozen square feet of playfield, on a very slight 6 or 7 degree slope and only about four inches to let the ball out, can still see me with the ball drained without a shot sometimes!! It's the exact opposite on a pool table, and they have six holes and no slope and I can't **get** the ball in them half the time!
Yes, pinball, a great game.
