Once again, Ben Heck delivers the fun…
Part 1
Part 2
Here’s another small wonder. A custom horror-themed game from Spain…
The main design challenge for all of these pinball mini-me’s is getting the scale and “feel” correct for all of the mechanisms. Too small, and the game will feel cheap and plinky. Too large, and it won’t be portable. In either case everything would have to be custom manufactured… more work than building upon the existing pinball standard which has abundant parts to choose from and has been time-tested for fun/reliability.
Still… who doesn’t like a good challenge?
Ben’s machine uses a tungsten ball for added heft (lead would be even better but of course not an ideal material for obvious reasons).
