Playing Pinball With Your Mind

No, it's not an imaginary pinball machine and it's not some kind of chip that they implant in your head. Scientists at the Berlin Brain-Computer interface have hooked up a person to an EEG (electoencephalograph) and wired that to control a pinball machine. Cool!

William's Pretty Baby Pinball Machine and Matador Table Top Bowling Simulator (1965)

Another one from the February 27, 1965 issue of BILLBOARD magazine.

Bally's Border Beauty Pinball (Like) Machine

I found this one in the February 27, 1965 issue of BILLBOARD magazine. I think it is more of a bingo game than a pinball machine.

The Retro Arcade Museum

Anyone near live Beacon, NY? I am on the opposite side of the US so I do not think that I will be making it there any time soon.

Joystiq Visits the Pinball Hall of Fame

Man I really need to get out to this place! We still have the odd pinball machine here and there in our town but none of the establishments has more than two machines. Imagine row after row of pinball machine going off (in 'attract mode') as you walk past.

The Internet Pinball Machine Database

I think that I may have highlighted this site before but it has grown by leaps and bounds now to include tons of great pictures, scans of promotional flyers, and lots of other pinball goodness. Pictured is the top rated pinball machine as rated by the pinball museum users, THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

Tilt! The Official Battle To Save Pinball

Anyone remember pinball? I do.

It is getting harder and harder to find good working machines to play (although if you live near me and are interested in buying, I know a guy that does excellent restorations) so when I came across the link for this movie I thought it would be a great share for all of you other 70's and 80's freaks out there. This would be a killer double feature if paired with THE KING OF KONG!

(refer to my previous blog posting about the movie if you know not of what I am speaking)
