Pinball is a type of coin-operated arcade game where a player attempts to score points by manipulating one or more metal balls on a playfield inside a glass covered case called a pinball machine. The primary objective of the game is to score as many points as possible. Secondary objectives are to maximize the time spent playing (by earning extra balls and keeping the ball in play as long as possible) and to earn free games (known as replays).

Yeah, you said this at Gamestop before, who the fuck cares if I'm buying a Pinball game? I don't bowl at my house but I play Wii Sports and bowl, so what the hell? This makes no sense.

The origins of pinball are intertwined with the history of many other games. Games played outdoors by rolling balls or stones on a grass course, such as Bocce or Bowls, eventually evolved into games played by hitting the balls with sticks and propelling them at targets. Croquet and Shuffleboard are examples of these games.

These games led to indoor versions that could be played on a table, such as Billiards or Carrom, or on the floor of a pub like Bowling. The tabletop versions of these games became the ancestor of the modern pinball machine.

ok, You can stop critiquing my game purchases now, I don't care if you agree with what I buy because you don't feel that I should play Pinball outside of on a Pinball machine. Don't you always say how you don't care what games others buy?

The existence of table-based games dates back to the 15th century. While some games took the wickets and balls of Croquet and turned them into the pockets of modern billiards, some tables became smaller and had the holes placed in strategic areas in the middle of the table.

In France, during the reign of King Louis XIV, someone took a billiard table and narrowed it, placing pins at one end of the table while making the player shoot balls with a stick or cue from the other end. Pins took too long to reset when knocked down, so the pins eventually were fixed to the table and holes took the place of targets. Players could ricochet the ball off the pins to achieve the harder scoring holes.

In 1777, a party was thrown in honor of the King and his wife at the Château de Bagatelle, owned by the brother of the king. The highlight of the party was a new table game featuring the slender table and cue sticks, which players used to shoot ivory balls up an inclined playfield. The table game was dubbed Bagatelle by the King's brother and shortly after swept through France. Some French soldiers carried their favorite bagatelle tables with them to America while helping to fight the British in the American Revolutionary War. Bagatelle spread and became so popular in America as well that a political cartoon from 1863 even depicts President Abraham Lincoln playing a tabletop bagatelle game.

Wait a second, there's a Mike Ditka Pinball game?

WHERE IS IT?!?!?!

Re: Aww! You beat me! or: What game(s) are you just really good at?
 

No, he's just being a hater because I want the Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams Edition. Apparently, that's not a game I should be buying and playing because I should only be playing it on a real pinball machine.

I'm being told what not to buy! How about that?

Re: Aww! You beat me! or: What game(s) are you just really good at?
 

Dude, don't call out Ditka Pinball and not deliver. Only English cigarettes do that.

no you're getting in a hissy-fit arguing with quotes I pull from wikipedia. It was all leading up to the introduction of the Apple II Pinball game but you ruined it gj gj

Fun. :p


Ill share one of my favs. There was a sniper in a window and he was gunning for me. I aim and tap tap. Head shot. That may not seem very skilled but I was using a god damn mini uzi. Then I proceeded to do it again once he respwaned and found another sniping spot :D

Re: Aww! You beat me! or: What game(s) are you just really good at?
 

Very nice! I never end up using the uzi's. I always stick to one of three things, either an AR, Sniper, or Shotty (so I'm basically exactly like 90% of COD4 players :P)
