For old pinball mavens like me, the sad death of the pinball art form — namely, those wizened designers who once crafted such deviously clever mechanical tables as to stupefy Rube Goldberg himself — is a cultural hole that can not be filled by the sudden resurgence of pinball games on the App Store.
Even so, though, I’ve got to admit: this tiny little pinball cabinet for your iPhone or iPod Touch is pretty adorable.
Sure, the “table” itself is just an app, but the case includes a real ball plunger, flipper buttons, tilt detector and LED backlit display… like a tiny Lilliputian version of the massive metal, wood and glass tables that once gobbled down my quarters by the pocketful. It’s available now at Best Buy for just $40.
