Tilt: The Battle to Save Pinball
« on: June 22, 2008, 11:38:22 am »
"THE SITUATION facing the pinball designers at Williams Electronic Games in 1998: come up with something new, or see the world's largest pinball manufacturer be shut down forever.

And Williams' designers did come up with something amazing: a brand new kind of pinball machine—"Pinball 2000"—that fused video with classic pinball gameplay, preserving what was great about pinball yet opening up all-new possibilities for a product thought to be on its last legs."

Anyone seen this yet? I'm not a big fan of pinball, but it looks pretty interesting.

Not bad, I hadn't heard of this movie. Not sure it's worth $20.

Reminds me of the BBS documentary. (which I did actually buy)

I thought Tilt was fantastic, really well done. It's an interesting documentary, and there were lots of extras. Well worth the money, in my opinion.

(I can also recommend the BBS Documentary as well, as I have them both. The BBS Doc is a three disc, eight episode content monster.)

I'd like to see BBS as well.

Sadly, Blockbuster online doesn't stock either (same for Netflix).   :(
