[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 64533, member: 134"] What an interesting thread! I honestly don't know what I used to call pinball back in the 80's. I've lived in SoCal my whole life, and saying the two out loud, pinball machine sounds right. However, in my head and when I write, pinball table comes more naturally. I for sure agree that 'table' should be used for video pinball, as there is nothing mechanical about those. I especially liked the example earlier used of asking where the machines were, and be told the tables were in the back. That sounded exactly like something I'd heard before. One thing is for sure, you could never call The Pinball Circus a table. [/QUOTE]
