It'll be interesting to see if that works at all.

Aah, old arcade games.. and pinball machines. There's something about
that mechanical/physical aspect I think. The point in time when I lost
interest in pinball machines was when they changed the number displays
from mechanical to electronical. Suddenly the pinball
machines lost
their appeal for me. Some important part of the experience was gone.
