Pinball: a Resurgence In Retro Gaming From an Unlikely Place

[wraggster]

The Professional & Amateur Pinball Association is creating a webchannel (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/papapinball/papa-tv-livestreaming-pinball) that will livestream (http://www.geekgamer.tv/pinball/12circuitround2/) content from their national circuit (http://papa.org/circuit/) of tournaments ranging from Southern California to New York City. The most recent circuit tournament (http://papa.org/pinburgh2013/) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania sold out of all 400 tournament openings in less than three weeks, months in advance of the event. With several new companies in the process of creating machines and hundreds of new competitive events springing up worldwide (http://www.ifpapinball.com/calendar.php) at a record pace, is the retro silverball rising to prominence once again?"
