I've been planning to make a post in the Introduce Yourself section about my recent rediscovery of "real life pinball" (and subsequent descent into madness), but just thought I'd mention here that I place sole blame on Future Pinball for reigniting my dormant pinball addiction.
Until recently it had probably been about 18 years since I played a physical pinball machine, though I did play pinball video games on and off (Pro Pinball mainly, and more recently Zen Pinball). About a month ago I stumbled across Virtual Pinball, and then Future Pinball. I played a couple of recreations of some of the tables I remembered and some of the original tables people have created, then found this interesting looking one called Medieval Madness. I was impressed with the whole moat/drawbridge/castle concept and was thinking "why don't they make real pinball machines with such cool features"... so naturally when I realised this
was a real machine
MY BRAIN EXPLODED!I've since been devouring all the pinball info I can find, touring the local pubs checking out what machines are around, and working out which bits of furniture I'd need to throw out to fit a machine in my apartment!
Thank you Future Pinball!
