Title: That deaf, dumb and blind kid… the pinball thread

Anyone dig the oldschool pinball?

I've been playing the old Jurassic Park machine a bit lately and it's a blast. I'm not much good at it though. What are your favourite machines? Are you any good? Could you give Tommy a run for his money?

I am totally a pinball wizard!

They used to have a Back to the Future MAchine at the gas station down the way. I held all of the top 5 positions on it for nigh three years. It was great.

I love that song.  I have it on iTunes.  I also saw a truly bizarre performance of the song once on a cruise.

My girlfriend is a big fan of pinball.  We still give each other grief about this one pinball game I used to have on my computer (note that neither of us has played it in years; we really ought to drop the subject.)  She claims she has the high score because she racked up more of the special bonus points, but I had more regular points, so really I had the high score.

I should see if that game is still floating around so that I can install it on my new computer.  It was a promotional freebie for some german beer, something like "dommolsch."

Is there a Cool Runnings pinball game?  Because that would be awesome.

The only pinball I've ever kicked serious ass at is the Windows pinball. I've got 30-something million on the high-scoreboard at home.

i concur.

and as for the song...if there was a comp of different interpretations of it, then i'd be happy.
