[QUOTE="Todd Trumpet, post: 82420, member: 3019"] Hey: Just wanted to give a quick heads-up to anyone interested in checking out a short (3 minute) comedy video about one of pinball's earliest competitors (at least in the Detroit neighborhood in which I grew up). I'm talking about "Pong", and the video is called: [B]"If The Internet Had Existed In 1972"[/B] Here's the direct link: [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnuhbzJpy6g"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnuhbzJpy6g[/URL] The idea was to parody ubiquitous video game reviews on the internet, but done from the P.O.V. of a "Pinball Wizard" in 1972 who happens to be VERY SKEPTICAL of this new electronic arcade technology. Anyway, if you're interested, feel free to give it a view and Thanks, Todd P.S. As indicated in the thumbnail for the video, my favorite pinball game back then was "Fireball" - "What? TWO balls?? No way...!" [/QUOTE]
