It wasn't that long ago that pinball seemed like it might be heading for that big drain in the sky. Even with the stealth rebirth of the arcade generating new interest, good luck finding a pinball machine instead of a redemption game that spits out tickets good for some crappy toy.

Manufacturers saw the writing on the wall and began to bail out of the game. Capcom quit right before it was going to release its much-hyped Big Bang Bar table. Electronic gaming company Williams decided there was more money to be had making slot machines. Stern rose from the ashes of Data East and Sega and declared itself the last surviving maker of pinball machines.
