Keith Elwin is a pinball designer for Stern Pinball. Also, he’s pretty good at competitive pinball.
Pinball was everywhere when I was a kid. Used to play at 7-11 and the local pizza places before getting serious @ 12 years old.
I was 16 I bought a Xenon from some guy with a huge storage unit full of games for $160. As I was loading the game up he tossed in an NOS playfield into the deal.
After playing the game for a few weeks I did my first playfield swap!
The first time
That’s a tough one since I have been playing for some time. I think it will always be Frontier because it was the first game I ever got hooked on. World Cup 78 zzzzz….

Accidentally leaving a Warlok backglass outside for a week. P.S. Anyone selling a Warlok backglass? 🙂

Good question! Pinball will always be a mashup of newer tech driving something vintage (See Total Nuclear Annihilation). I think we will see newer and newer tech that will hopefully add to the experience but retain the heart and soul of pinball. I think the more we can push pinball to be more social like it was in the 60s and 70s with the quick games and simple rules the more it will expand. Of course the tricky part is finding that balance between quick and deep games.
