It’s a virtual pinball prototype and only 5 cabinets were made. It works by having a CRT screen on the bottom for the game play, and a reflection of a physical playfield mounted to the top. 1 of 207 May 2026 22:45 +0000at://did:plc:bh6d3jsq55la3w3vp2efihvd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlcc7lbzms2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/pacificpinball.bsky.social/post/3ml7gy7jlqc2yPPM League Guru David Lee will be doing a Pinball Boot Camp tonight Wednesday, May 6 from 7-9pm! 🙌🏻🤩 Open to any skill level, with an emphasis on learning techniques to help improve play with instruction and hands-on practice and challenges to test new skills!
