Pinball/YMMV


 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: Atari Games' 1979 Hercules measured 93 inches long, 39 inches wide and 83 inches high. It used a pool table cue ball for the pinball. Sometimes this would be an 8-ball.
 * The Pinball Circus, a pinball machine noticeably as tall as it is long. Only two of these machines were ever built.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: 1989's Black Knight 2000 was known for having one of the best soundtracks ever for a pinball game, composed by Brian Schmidt, Dan "Toasty!" Forden, and the game's designer, Steve Ritchie. Take a listen here.
 * Another contender is 1993's Twilight Zone. It helps that they borrowed the Golden Earring hit song of the same name. Listen for yourself.
 * For video pinball games, Pro Pinball: Timeshock! really stands out with its soundtrack, along with generally being one of the best virtual pinball games ever.
 * Dead Horse Music Genre: First, it was because video games were cheaper to maintain and took up less space at arcades. Later, as arcades died out, pinball machines all but disappeared. Of all the major pinball machine manufacturers such as Gottlieb, Bally, Williams, etc., only Stern Pinball remains today.
