>think tilting is cheating
>there's actual spots where the ball drops straight down and you have to tilt the machine
im just a noob, but its very rewarding to catch the ball on the flipper

That's unironically the hardest kirby game.

I remember seeing that one as a kid a lot in places. I was drawn to it because I love mario but I don't know anything about it except there that little screen he walks across.

my favorite is theatre of magic, although twilight zone is very good too

I've been thinking about leaving neetdom to play Pinball. There's a whole street five minutes away from me full of trendy hipster bars that all have one to four pinball machines. I would need to start earning again though.

We're living in a new golden age of pinball. Elwin, Meunier, etcetera.

Also Rest in Peace Wayne Neyens and Lyman Sheats. Please come back to life soon.

>user GET OUT!

...yea I guess. There is a scoreboard and its electronic and has lose conditions. By that token some calculators qualify as vidya too.

Love scared stiff. The sound bytes are awesome.

They're in the arcades with the rest of the vidya, so yeah sure

>used to spend hours on end on this
I miss when arcades were still huge

Tell me about it. There's only one arcade in a 50mi radius of where I live, and it's an added headache of being on the city main street where you're fucking with a lotta one-way criss-crosses while finding the side drive it's on. It's got dozens of pinball machines though, so I go there once a month and play for hours.

>Round 1 coming soon 20 min away from me
I had to wait for covid to be over but holy shit I can play rhythm games now.
