Pinball machines are more or less a lost art, but one enthusiast really wants to bring them along for this whole "21st century" thing. Hence, the HDTV pinball machine.
Constructed from one large HDTV and a smaller LCD monitor, this machine, called HyperPin, makes for a surprisingly convincing pinball experience. The trick is in the software, Future Pinball. It's a real-time 3D pinball simulator for the PC, with which enthusiasts can recreate and play on their favorite tables in a simulated arcade. Builder BadBoybill (indeed!) took this all a step further, adapting the app to display on two screens, giving the appearance of an actual table. Bumping, shaking and drink-resting are not recommended. [HyperPin via Digg]
DISCUSSION
OK..... I want this!!!!! I mean seriously I have been jonsing for a good Pinball game ( no Offense XBLA). Just checking out the way it switches over and has all those boards i would SOOOO like not play my XBOX or PC ( well i basically am on a PC) if i had this. I just want to know if there are bumpber buttons on both sides and if there is a "bump" button to jerk the unit and not cause a tilt. MANY quarters lost on Pinball machines back in the day, DAYUMM to be a child of the 80's
