Looking at lots of videos on youtube.. Everything from hacking an arcade pinball to run your own code (PROC)
To people handcrafting their own pinballs from scratch using existing switches:
To this REALLY amazing completely mechanical (no electrical at all) pinball machine
I may at some point build something similar like the last one. I'm fairly electrically stupid, and I REALLY like mechanical because it's easier to fix (and doesn't require power), and I like the idea of trying to make something modern with an archaic approach. Flashing lights and sounds are cool, yet destracting. There's something about a nice clean raw table to make it fun.
Also the other day I stopped at a gameworks to play some of the newer Stern pinball machines, namely IRON Man and Avatar. I must say, both played very well, and it's good to see there's still creative pinball designers around.
