It's considered to be the forerunner to video games, but it's more physical than a video game since you're dealing with moving parts and nudging the machine around. I'm not too great at it but I do know some of the fundamentals like using the flippers properly (there's a whole bunch of techniques for catching and holding the ball) and I've put up decent scores:<br /><br /><img src="http://i.imgur.com/jhSDWnwl.jpg" alt="My highest score on Medieval Madness" /><br /><br />It's great fun, and the best thing is the one place that has a bunch of machines (22 as of now) is only a few miles from where I live.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=zeether&ditemid=441" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
