Jag måste säga att den verkar ju faktiskt intressant. Jag har inte varit inne i gamet så länge så jag är ju inte som er andra som redan kan allt :-P

Men hur mycket flipperhistoria är det? Dom pladdrade ju på lite om historia och det flashade förbi bl.a Banzai Run och Pinball Circus...
Dock verkade det mest vara om Pinball 2000, då Revenge from Mars...

Sen ska man ju få tag i den nånstans också...äh, det löser sig...jag har hört talas om en grej, Internet, man kan beställa allt möjligt från typ hela världen!! :-D

Flipperspel med flipprar introducerades första gången oktober 1947 och hette Humpty Dumpty.

Således har flipperspel med flipprar funnits i 59 år.

EDIT:
Dessförinnan hette det väl "bara" pinball p.g.a. utseendet...

Cocs, glöm nu inte att det fortfarande heter Pinball i USA och andra engelskspråkiga länder.:-D

Gjorde en sökning på google.
+flipper +game = 3 110 000 träffar
+pinball = 24 700 000 träffar
+"flipper game" = 31 300 träffar

Yahoo hade som vanligt en hel del träffar mindre


Beteckningen "Flipper game" har jag aldrig funderat på förut faktiskt. Har vart helt inne på pinball när jag sökt saker på nätet.

Det dök upp ett nyhetsbrev med mer info om vad som är på gång med filmen. Så här står det:

A lot has been going on in the "Future of Pinball" universe, so I thought I'd send out an update...

- First and foremost, creation of the DVD is moving forward. I just returned from Chicago where I recorded a commentary track for the DVD from several of the people who participated in the film: Roger Sharpe, Tom Uban, Cameron Silver, and Duncan Brown. They provide a lot of great insights and I know their commentary track will be an excellent addition to the disc. There are still a few uncertainties left in the schedule, but I'm shooting for a late Summer release to members of the mailing list. I'll be sure to keep you posted!

- A recent showing of "The Future of Pinball" at the San Francisco Documentary Festival proved very successful. The movie was one of the top-sellers of the festival and was very well-received by attendees. Best of all, as a result of the festival showing, some marketing opportunities have opened up. The first is coming up soon, where "The Future of Pinball" will be showing for a week at the Clinton Street Theater in Portland, Oregon from June 30 through July 6. (The theater is closed on July 4, so please don't come then!) I will be in attendance for all Friday and Saturday showings (7 and 8:30pm) and will be holding a Q&A session at the end of each showing. Best of all, a local pinball club will be sponsoring a dozen pinball machines in the theater lobby so you'll have a chance to indulge in some play while learning a bit more about the industry that produced them. (There's some sort of tournament being held from noon to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday...keep checking the Clinton Street Theater web site for details.) If you're in the Portland area, please stop by and introduce yourself. And bring your friends! It should be a great time.

- If you're in the Bay Area, I'll be speaking at the California Extreme video game and pinball show on Saturday, July 8. I don't know what time I'll be presenting yet, but when I find out I'll be sure to let you know. At this session I'll be showing some highlights from the film and talking about the process of making the movie from start to finish.

That's it for now, but there should be a lot more news in the coming months. Thanks very much for your continued support,

Greg
