Synopsis

Pinball-ology! For enthusiasts, collectors, or anyone who has flipped, bumped, or banked a silver ball, the 3rd revised edition of pinball amusements has arrived! Extensive historical research details the progression of pinball over the decades, with updated statistics and pricing values. Learn about the historic changes from electromechanical to solid state components, sounds to talking machines, all about flippers and bumpers, and world pinball information for this favorite pastime. Full-color photos of vintage 1930s through and including contemporary pinball machines are shown along with how-to tricks and slingshot treats. Varied themes are explored touching popular icons such as Indiana Jones, Charlie's Angels, and Flash Gordon, but wider topics such as cowboys and Indians, outer space, or beautiful women are here, too. A video-pinball list, video modes, and historical summary are included.Tilt!
