ABCTV - Can We Help? Pinball Segment

[el_timbo86]

Hey Guys,

Scrolling through the channels tonight, and stumbled across an ABC show called 'Can We Help?'. Not something that i would generally tune in to watch, but just as i was about to change to the next channel i heard the word 'pinball'. It wasnt a huge feature on the show, but thought it was cool anyway.

Here is the link to the shows website - i couldnt link directly to the video, but a quick browse of the videos will get you there.

Have a good weekend guys,

Yup - I was lucky enough to catch that.  Showed an arcade in the late 70's - people playing Space Invaders, Lost World, Kiss...

Took me back!

cheers

how times change, i laughed when the four corners reporter said where do they get the money from and its areal concern that these teenages are becoming addicted. shit i work with some real f!@##$ked up people if they only played pinball instead of selling and shooting up drugs they wouldnt be in gaol- fast forward another 30yrs i wonder what the days-era issues will be

  In the episode they say pinball was worrying because it was addicting  ! that is soo wrong! its not addicting its fun , and the big problem theese days is there aren't many pinball parlors in australia anymore and not many food places have them either!    !    thats what i'm gonna solve (in time) i'm gonna put a pinball parlour in the most booring state in aus SA!
