No less then 17 tables, on a LCD display (so the playfield doesn&#8217;t wear out). Best yet, the virtual pinball machine has some of the most famous <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gottlieb\">Gottlieb games<\/a> like 2001 and Gold Strike. Sure, it&#8217;s expensive, but compared to the cost of actually buying 17 pinball machines? It&#8217;s quite reasonable. And takes up a lot less space in the ol man cave. <\/p>\n<p>The Multispin Digital Pinball machine uses a 32 inch LCD monitor for that play field, and a smaller monitor mounted on the back glass to replicate the scoring section of those classic games. There is just one thing that makes me nervous, and that&#8217;s the lack of flipper buttons on the pictures of the machine. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hammacher.com\/Product\/pinball?cm_mmc=CJ-_-2490938-_-3165705-_-Hammacher+Schlemmer+-+Redirect+Link\">Hammacher Schlemmers website<\/a> says that it does have flipper buttons and a ball launcher just like the real thing, but I can&#8217;t seem to find it.<\/p>\n<p>The Hammacher Schlemmer website lists the pinball machine as being currently available, however it will take 4-6 weeks for delivery, so order fast for Christmas. The Digital Pinball machine will set you back $6,000. I&#8217;ve got to say though, I think it&#8217;d be worth it.<\/p>\n<p>[via <a href=\"http:\/\/technabob.com\/blog\/2009\/11\/04\/multipin-digital-pinball-machine\/\">Technabob<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/vg9D425triygxIuxkzeXqWbqY64\/0\/da\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/vg9D425triygxIuxkzeXqWbqY64\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br\/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/vg9D425triygxIuxkzeXqWbqY64\/1\/da\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/vg9D425triygxIuxkzeXqWbqY64\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=Z_wdVD00evw:xCucoUnG3-c:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=Z_wdVD00evw:xCucoUnG3-c:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=Z_wdVD00evw:xCucoUnG3-c:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=Z_wdVD00evw:xCucoUnG3-c:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=Z_wdVD00evw:xCucoUnG3-c:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A virtual pinball machine sounds like a really good idea.
