Are there any pinball players here?

I guess I could write a couple of thousand lines on pinball here and now, but I'll leave that to ...some... ...other... time.

The pinball "scene" is sort of alive and kicking these days. The biggest tournament in the world is going on at the moment:
https://pinburgh.com/2019/live/ (Pittsburgh, USA)

I can't afford to go there though. I'm very, very broke and live in Sweden. But I DO play a *lot* of pinball these days, again. I had a ten year long break where the music sort of "took over" and I spent 10 years doing a music project, playing in bands etc.

I'm old now and it seems like I can combine pinball AND music now. Hopefully, it'll work out.

This is THE best of the more recent games that has been released (it was released early 2018, but I wasn't playing at that time):

I used to love pinball. Some of my favorites were:

Funhouse
Heavy Metal Meltdown
Circus
Terminator
Adams Family

So many more that I can't recall now.

FunHouse
...is awesome. One of the machines I really learned how to play on.

Heavy Metal Meltdown
I can't recall the details, but I played it when I was a kid.

Circus
I've never played it :(

Terminator 2
I guess you are referring to Terminator 2 (there's a T3 as well, I like it quite a bit)? The first Dot Matrix Game that was released. It was a BOMB. Gilligan's Island was produced before T2 but released after.

The Addams Family
... the most sold pinball machine, ever. 21.000+ units, I believe.

You can double check the facts, I guess. I prefer taking them from my memory and they MIGHT not be 100% correct. 8)

Some of my favourite machines are:
Dr. Who, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Iron Maiden, Deadpool, Congo, The Shadow, Star Trek: The Next Generation and ...more...

But the #1 is probably:
