The most amazing thing about pinball is of course the fact that it’s a physical construct. There’s even a pinball table that hides another table beneath its regular playing surface - and you play that table upside-down with the flippers on top! Just think about that. Mirrors obfuscate, making the field seem bigger than it actually is. Trapdoors can open to swallow your ball, sending it to dimensions unknown - which in this case would be the other side of the table. Designers have come up with all sorts of incredible mechanisms to make pinball more than just a game of keep-away. A pinball table is a loud and garish collection of lights, sound effects, ramps, beautiful brightly-colored artwork, and strange gimmicky assemblies, all designed to catch the eye and lure the passer-by into giving up some change for a minute (or ten) of non-stop madcap pulse-pounding excitement. The game of pinball is as American as cheeseburgers.
