Check it out.
While i can’t help but marvel at its technical brilliance i wonder why anyone would bother to do this, the whole point of Pinball lies in its mechanical workings and the assistance of gravity, pinball has always had a tangible feel to it and this would remove that feel from the game.
I suppose you could argue this is Pinball for the digital era and the medium is no different to real world sports sims or racing game and a hint of nostalgia is clouding my judgment.
Either way the unit is available for viewing at the Palau de la Virreina in Barcelona, so anyone in Spain or planning a trip there should check it out
