Interesting (at least to me) article on MSN today about Pinball machine history.

In other related news, this isn't quite the same as having 13 tables in your living room but it is darn close and fun as all get out.

I played one where the ball was magnetically pulled into the vertical back part of the pinball machine if you hit a certain spot (does that make sense?). You had flippers up there too. I have no idea what it was called, but I thought it was awesome.
