The History of Pinball

The first pinball game was patented in 1871 when it added the plunger where you pull back the little stick. It wasn't until 1947 that pinball games had the flippers and that really changed how pinball was as a game. Probably my favorite one of these games was the Jurassic Park pinball game because if you got the pinball into the right spot, the T-Rex would eat the pinball. The newer ones have these video game elements to them.
