Pinball has been one of my favorite arcade games for a long time. It all started with a pinball machine named Space Shuttle. My dad also had a friend who owned a King Tut machine that I would play anytime we visited. Through the years, I’ve seen various artist-themed pinball machines, but it seems like there’s been a significant increase in these types of machines over the last 10 years or so. One of the most challenging I’ve run into in the recent past has been a machine based on the band Iron Maiden. I’ve played it about a dozen times and have only had maybe two good runs, but my lack of success with the game could never sour me on the music.
