Pinball, however they tried, always had the player at the same state. Sure, they could simulate progression through a set of modes leading to the wizard mode, etc., but physically the game will always remain the same, with the same shots on the table, and the same constant risks. In a game of pinball, every shot you make puts you at a risk, and just as easily as you can keep the same ball going for 5 to 10 minutes, you might be able to lose all three of them in a matter of seconds. I don't think I ever played a video game that was able to mess you up like that, without it being a really, really terrible game.It is wonderful, really. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
