[QUOTE="shogun00, post: 286792, member: 1729"] Lately, I've been seeing videos of people playing real UFO Catchers (Japanese claw machines) online via mobile/PC. It's a very interesting concept. Use your credit card to buy credits and play the claw machine in real time. Any prizes you win, the vendor will ship them (worldwide) to your door. [URL="https://youtu.be/C6s-LAdzyUY?t=25s"]Here's an example![/URL] This got me thinking. Wouldn't it be neat if we could have something similar with pinball machines? Sure digital emulation is nice and all, but it doesn't replace the real thing. Just strap a few mechanisms to the start, flipper buttons, and launcher. Attach a couple cameras and microphones to the machine. Have some type of credit system. And, just play the real thing with your mobile device or web browser. Sure there would be a few kinks to work out, such as the ability to nudge and latency. However, I think the idea has a lot of potential. [/QUOTE]
