			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finding something to do indoors in Canada isn&#8217;t that difficult. Just head to one of Canada&#8217;s indoor game facilities to have fun with bumper cars and simulators.</p>
<p>Friends and family can spend the entire day at any of Canada&#8217;s indoor game facilities. For the best fun look for an indoor game center in Canada that offers bumper rides and simulators. Bumper cars and simulators offer hours upon hours of fun entertainment.</p>
<p>Bumper car rides have always been a top-choice for having fun. Bumper cars have been around since the early 1920&#8217;s. Bumper cars operate completely on electricity. After drivers are properly seated with seat belts in their bumper cars, the operator engages a switch and off go all the bumper cars. Although the bumper cars glide on their own on an enclosed track, they are controlled by each driver.</p>
<p>Bumpers are designed to withstand bumps. That&#8217;s what makes bumper cars so much fun because bumper cars bounce off each other and then go on to bump another bumper car. Although each driver can control his or her bumper car with a steering wheel, the continuous bumping makes it hard to do, but that&#8217;s what makes bumper cards so much fun. No one wants to be in complete control in a bumper car. The purpose of a bumper car is to have spontaneous fun.</p>
<p><span id="more-858"></span></p>
<p>The spontaneity of bumper cars is what makes this an exhilarating choice of entertainment. While people can drive their own bumper cars, drivers really aren&#8217;t in control of what is going to happen next. People like not knowing what is going to happen next.</p>
<p>Many indoor game facilities in Canada offer bumper rides and simulators. People who are looking for something to do should head straight to the nearest indoor entertainment facility in Canada for some bumper car fun and action. Be sure to invite your friends and family.</p>
<p>Another favorite ride are simulator rides. Many indoor entertainment venues in Canada offer simulator rides. Simulator rides give people the feeling as thought they are some place than where they really area. There are many different options when it comes to simulator rides. Some simulator rides give the feel as though you are actually flying a plane. Others give the feel as though you are traveling hundreds of miles an hour around a race car track. There are others that give you the feel that you are in a spaceship fighting to save the world.</p>
<p>What makes simulators so realists is that the cockpit of a simulator is completely blacked and closed off from the rest of the world. People are forced to contend with what&#8217;s in front of them on a large screen. Things so realistic that people forget where they are for a while. If you are floating in the air, you will feel as though you are flying. Simulators are designed to move with each maneuver, so it is the action combined with what the participant is viewing on the screen that makes people believe they are actually experiencing what they are seeing.</p>
<p>If you are looking for something to do in Canada, you should definitely head to an indoor entertainment center. You and your friends and family will have a great time. For the most fun, find a place that offers bumper cars and simulator rides.</p>
<p>Canadian company offering a large group of family entertainment <a href="http://www.playdium.com/">Things to do in Toronto</a>. Visit our indoor playgrounds GTA, bowling alleys, go karting, <a href="http://www.playdium.com/">Arcades in Mississauga</a> and ask us for birthday party ideas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most people think of poker players as gamblers in a game of chance. It this were totally true, however, there would not be professionals who make their living by earning more than they lose and amateurs who lose more than they win. The difference here is that the pros have acquired the discipline involved in all sports of learning, understanding, and most essentially, practicing endlessly in their chosen field. They may have card sense, but above all they have the discipline to find a method that works for them.</p>
<p>In fact, there is no such thing as spontaneous talent: music did not &#8220;just made sense&#8221; to Mozart &#8211; where would he be if he hadn&#8217;t spent his childhood practicing? One could say that talent is well-practiced potential. But don&#8217;t wait for a freaky father to hit you with a rod over your fingers every time you play the wrong card; impose your own discipline.</p>
<p>The amateur plays for the thrill of risk and the adrenaline rush that comes from fighting against blind chance. Poker is kept alive by this rush. The pros leave nothing to chance, the pro knows what his basic odds are and takes full advantage of his opponents&#8217; errors, notes if there are familiar patterns, and calculates the risk. The serious professional player will not expect to enjoy himself at a friendly game of cards, this is his job. And his job is to take every cent he can from the other players gathered around the table having a casual game of poker to pass the time. The professional&#8217;s strategy is to match his wits against chance and his opponent&#8217;s methods and come out with a win.</p>
<p><span id="more-853"></span></p>
<p>It is vital to be familiar with the varieties of poker games and to know which of them best suit your abilities and predispositions; not only to realize what your weaknesses are, but to know also which game incites you to your best effort and best engages your intuitions. Players who haven&#8217;t the habit of self-introspection keep sullenly playing a game which doesn&#8217;t engage their best faculties. Sometimes a benevolent professional looking from the side may advise the person to try another game type and the player is surprised to discover that they are much more talented than they thought.</p>
<p>There is a big difference between limit and no-limit poker. A disciplined player will not yield to temptation and will prefer the game in which he feels in full, cucumber-cool control. In limit poker, disciplined players tend to play with caution, act cool, taking the time to covertly collect information about opponents, intending to milk them by small moves. They will play only the hands worth playing: the best ones play only about 20% of the hands dealt them.</p>
<p>A disciplined no-limit professional will evince the opposite of reserve, will be aggressive before the flop, and will play hands that to the limit expert would seem reckless stunts, always knowing, however, what precisely he is trying to achieve by every aggressive move.</p>
<p>Whether limit or no-limit, of at least the same importance as the right move, is to not get so carried away that you don&#8217;t refrain yourself from knowing when to fold. If the situation is hopeless, or you feel a lack of control, which is certainly not uncommon, as a disciplined player aware of your performance, you will not continue with a game bringing only frustration.</p>
<p>When the pro comes back to the table and has a better day, he never trusts that his good fortune will go on ad infinitum. He has learned his lesson to abandon ship before he loses his edge, and knows to limit his gains as well as his losses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are serious about your pool game, then you need to know as much about pool cues as possible. Think about it &#8211; the cue is the instrument of your craft which is your game. You can refine your play even more so when your cue is the most excellent it can be and complementary to you. There is an array of kinds of pool cues; each of which includes various substances, facets, and a variety of design considerations. The type of cue you select can have an impressive effect on how well you play. Furthermore, you should recognize the finer aspects of pool cue care so you can have the greatest execution each time. This article will look into pool cues and bring forth vital information for the promotion of your game.</p>
<p>As you already know most pool cues are made from wood. But you can also find a few that are coated with other materials. Of course each type of material has an effect on the cue and your play. A few examples of other materials used to make cues are graphite, fiberglass, and carbon fibers. There are also those made entirely of acrylic, titanium and aluminum too. One of the biggest drawbacks of these other materials is that they are sensitive to changes in temperature.</p>
<p>We are going to talk a bit about a cue called the jump cue that is usually shorter and lighter than other average cue sticks. You may notice right off that the tip of this super light cue stick is harder than you regular play style stick and they never weigh more than 12 ounces per cue. The break cue is one you are probably more familiar with. But some break cues can easily be changed to become a jump cue. The reason this is possible is that many break cues have an attachment on the butt end of the cue. So it is easy to remove that attachment, or extension, and then you have the qualities of an acceptable jump cue.</p>
<p><span id="more-843"></span></p>
<p>Most high quality pool cues are made using hard rock maple wood with straight grains. The cue shaft is typically made using this type of wood. Snooker cues, however, tend to be made from ash wood.That is not always the case, but that is what you will find in the majority of times. Other attributes of high quality cues include the material used for the cue butt. You will also find cues that have highly artistic designs in them. Some highly decorative cues aren&#8217;t meant to be used for play but rather displayed proudly as a collector&#8217;s item.</p>
<p>There is tons more to discover about pool cues, and you will only benefit by learning more. There are various forms of applications and uses in the number games of pool and billiards. So we push you to read and even increase the number of books in your library that are about pool cues and other related materials.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Together with plenty of beaches, attractions and activities it is actually little wonder that the complete area is a prominent holiday getaway destination and in particular a favourite for the purpose of <a href="http://goldcoastaccommodation.tv">Gold Coast golf</a> vacations.The area features substantial stretches of golden beaches, World Heritage listed rainforest&#8217;s, theme parks, shopping centres, international casinos and awesome nightlife. The Queensland Gold Coast offers it all and is a world class golf holiday destination. With its position and sub-tropical environment it is little wonder that the Gold Coast provides year round sunshine and outdoor opportunities to entice all eager golf players. It might be worth observing that granted its Southern Hemisphere position the seasons along the Gold Coast are the reverse of those throughout the Northern Hemisphere. With golfers normally praying for pleasant sunny weather the Gold Coast is a really great choice with over 300 days of direct sunlight yearly.</p>
<p>You will find a variety of Gold Coast Golf Courses that have helped in making this such a prominent golfing spot. The Royal Pines is these days owned and run by the Victorian founded RACV and is a accepted site for the annual Ladies ANZ Masters.The Golf Academy provides a tremendous range of programs for both newbies to the game and knowledgeable players, including one-day courses to full-time coaching.An alternate prominent Gold Coast Gold Coarse is Lakelands which gives you a layout of 18 holes tailored by champion golf player Jack Nicklaus. It holds a certain uniqueness to its format and amenities include a floodlit driving range, pitch and putt green and a pro shop.</p>
<p>One of the unique links style golf courses is located on Hope Island at the north end of the Queensland Gold Coast. Hope Island golf course is governed by the globally recognised Troon Golf and has its beginnings as a community resort course. The course now operates under the brand of &#8220;Links Hope Island&#8217;. Hope Island golf course is created by five times British Open Champion Peter Thompson with the efforts of Mike Wolverridge, the sweeping layout is set on a 360 ha residential resort area. The course alone covers 6,500 metres starting from the Championship tees and is coupled with 128 pot style bunkers, making it a quite hard challenge for the ordinary golfer.</p>
<p><span id="more-838"></span></p>
<p>Without a question one of the finest golf courses on the Gold Coast is Palm Meadows. It has welcomed loads of famous name players which include the likes of Langer, Raffety, Ozaki and the legendary Australian Greg Norman. Once home to the wealthiest golf tournament found in the southern hemisphere it is today experienced by all levels of golf fans from all over the world.Now with a demanding series of water obstacles, sandy bunkers and wonderful fairways, the eighteen hole Palm Meadows was laid out by famous Australian golfer Graham Marsh.Palm Meadows is well recognised throughout the golfing world as an excellent course and ranks amongst the worlds top 500 golf holes. The famed eighteenth hole has established its position in history as being in the leading five hundred golf holes in the world, recognised by the American Golf Digest.The beauty of the eighteenth is in the water that lies besides the tee and runs the full 523 metres of the hole. If you play this hole skillfully you can definitely reward yourself with a good finish to your round of golf, but bear in mind if one shot is poorly struck, you can easily hit double figures. If you really want to experience the best that Gold Coast golfing has to give be sure to book in a game at Palm Meadows.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Soccer has been a growing sport in America over the past ten years and this is mainly due to the effort put in by the MLS. They&#8217;ve had many different marketing tactics throughout the years; some have worked, some failed. However, they&#8217;ve come up with a new tactic of bringing in some of the biggest names in soccer, like Theirry Henry and David Beckham. Will this help to grow the sport and the league in the USA?</p>
<p>Can bringing these big name soccer players over the MLS really help bring the league to the next level? There&#8217;s no arguing that these guys have had incredible careers and are still talented players. The idea of bringing these guys over is based on the past. They&#8217;ve reinvented the wheel in many ways, but this idea is going back to what works. And this idea worked when Pele and other great players came to the USA to play.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a pretty big soccer fan, although I&#8217;ve only been to a couple MLS games since its inception. However, I&#8217;m honestly curious to see Henry play. I can see this getting me out to a game, but not sure it will make me want to go all the time. I&#8217;d personally rather watch the England Premier League on TV. But, there&#8217;s a chance!</p>
<p><span id="more-830"></span></p>
<p>The good news for the MLS is that there are many other soccer fans out there like myself. But the MLS wants and needs more than this. There are also fans out there that protest this move based on the fact they think Henry and Beckham don&#8217;t care anymore. How can they really care after playing for Arsenal, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Barcelona? Well, they&#8217;re athletes and any real athlete doesn&#8217;t know any other way but to go hard! At least I hope this is their mentality or it really won&#8217;t work.</p>
<p>Can this work for someone who&#8217;s more of a casual fan, but doesn&#8217;t know much about Thierry Henry and other big players? My answer is probably not! If they&#8217;re just casual American fans, they probably never even heard of Thierry Henry! So why in the World would they want to go see him?</p>
<p>These same casual fans have it in them to become hardcore fans. They probably played soccer as kids, but they don&#8217;t see the entire game. They don&#8217;t see what the game consists of off the ball. But they can still go watch the game and have a good time. The problem is that these fans would probably rather spend their money on a basketball or baseball game.</p>
<p>Other countries don&#8217;t really have to deal with this. In all of Europe, soccer comes first. England has cricket, Spain has basketball but nothing comes before soccer. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s very hard for the MLS to compete with all these major leagues.</p>
<p>The MLS has been faced with many challenges and they&#8217;ve come very far since they&#8217;ve started. From the time they&#8217;ve started to know, there&#8217;s been a major expansion and growth of the sport. The players have also improved. Soccer is the most popular sport played amongst kids, so I believe it starts there. Keeping their interest is crucial and by providing role models like Beckham, Landon Donovan and Henry can really help keep kids going.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you looking for techniques of PS3 YLOD mend? I had once come into the same difficulty. But Now I&#8217;ve found a good way and therefore here to share it with you. Please read on&#8230;</p>
<p>Last weekend, I was alone at home and felt excited to play one of my favourite PS3 games, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. But when it started, the light on the front console first turned green, and then turned orange and red immediately. At the same time, I heard the annoying bleeps. Yellow Light of Death! This feared name appeared in my mind. What should I am doing? How to mend YLOD?</p>
<p>After calling up Sony, I noticed that I should pay $150 plus shipping charge, to have it repaired at a Sony repair centre because my PS3 was out of warranty. That was too much for me. I need a less expensive way to repair my PS3. Is there any person could let me know how to repair PS3 YLOD by myself?</p>
<p>Just like most gamers would do at this moment, I searched the web for recommendation. There I realized that yellow light on ps3 was a general hardware failure. It might, unfortunately, be anything. As an example, bad fan, bad power supply, bad GPU or CPU.</p>
<p><span id="more-822"></span></p>
<p>I saw some videos at You-tube and truly found some game players fix their PS3 YOLD successfully by themselves. Regardless of whether they were kind enough to share the whole process of repairing the PS3, it was not clear, and confused newbie readers like me. I was annoyed, but still continued searching for a step by step guide that elaborates each details and is easy and straight-forward enough for each gamer to follow.</p>
<p>My work wasn&#8217;t wasted. I found one, and it proves useful in PS3 YLOD repair. It is Rob Sheffield&#8217;s PS3 Lights Fix Guide. It helped me fix the yellow light on PS3 in around 2 hours. Now instead of waiting Sony for a month to return my console, I was playing my PS3 games comfortable at home.</p>
<p>In short, you don&#8217;t need to feel despaired when seeing the yellow light on your PS3. There has to be a way out. Call Sony for help or fix YLOD by yourself, it relies on you. Regardless of which way you choose, you are warranted to enjoy your fave games in some time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There has been a great deal of debate about the importance of jogging in an exercise regime. Some people believe that jogging was just a craze that was created by athletic shoe companies as an elaborate scheme to sell more shoes. Some experts even have questions about whether jogging actually improves a person&#8217;s physical health, or if it creates additional complications. The concern that some people have is the amount of stress jogging places on an individual&#8217;s joints.</p>
<p>One thing that everyone does accept is that when it comes to improving a person&#8217;s circulatory health they will get faster results when they jog instead of walking. When a person walks they really do not increase their heart rate some, however they do whenever they are jogging. On the other hand running can put a great deal of strain on the person&#8217;s heart. Jogging provides a happy medium.</p>
<p>One of the things that jogging does better than either running or walking is improving an individuals muscle tone, particularly in their lower legs. The action of jogging, taking short bouncing strides, forces the person to use their lower legs in a manner that they do not at any other time. The only other exercise that is comparable is running up and down steps.</p>
<p><span id="more-817"></span></p>
<p>People who jog on a regular basis do not have nearly as many issues with their blood pressure as people who never jog. The reason for this is simple. The more the person jogs the more their circulation increases. The increased blood flow keeps their arteries free of blockages and clots.</p>
<p>The other reason that the jogger&#8217;s blood pressure decreases is because the heart is forcing additional blood to pump through the person&#8217;s veins. The additional blood works to eradicate any clogs that causes the blood pressure to climb. As you can see, this is very beneficial.</p>
<p>Stress is a huge health problem. People who are carrying around a lot of stress are prone to headaches, cardiovascular, and digestive problems. When a person jogs, or engages in any physical activity, they are forced to concentrate on what they are doing, they can not thing about the things that are going wrong in their life. The exercises gives their mind a chance to escape their problems. This small break can drastically improve the person&#8217;s outlook on life.</p>
<p>It is doubtful that everyone will ever agree on the however there is no denying that there are some definite benefits to the activity. If a person is genuinely concerned about the impact jogging puts on their joints, they should try to minimize the number of times that they jog every week. Instead of jogging three times a week they should only jog once a week. Another option would be to only jog for a short distance instead of several miles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The video game is now a ubiquitous part of American pop culture but pinball still holds a cachet of cool. Pinball went through a few lean years during the early years of the video boom, when designers tried to cram as much stuff onto the playfield as possible, perhaps feeling the clutter was needed to replicate the video game experience. In recent years, however, designers appear to have concluded&#8211;and rightly so&#8211;that pinball cannot be a video game, nor should it want to be.</p>
<p>A great game of recent vintage is the 1997 Bally release &#8220;Cirqus Voltaire&#8221;. The theme is sort of a &#8216;Cirque du Soleil&#8221; on acid, and the iconography of the circus that they cram into the design and play of the game is amazing. The ultimate object of the game is to &#8220;join the cirqus&#8221;, which, of course, is a classical American archetype of freedom and escape. Yet this &#8220;Cirqus&#8221; is not a Norman Rockwell vision of juvenile fun&#8211;there are a lot of sinister undertones as well, including evil ringmasters and an almost palpable feeling of sleaze. The clowns here have more in common with the Simpsons&#8217; &#8216;Krusty the Clown&#8217; than with Emmett Kelly.</p>
<p>The game play offers a lot of what we&#8217;ve come to expect from Williams/Bally, with sweeping ramp shots, clever uses of time-worn features (like the disappearing pop bumper, reincarnated here as a balloon. As is very common with pinball games today, the game&#8217;s ultimate object is to work your way through a variety of &#8216;modes&#8217;. Sometimes this is a confusing endeavor, but here is very easy to understand&#8211;yet still very challenging to the player.</p>
<p><span id="more-814"></span></p>
<p>At its nadir, pinball companies were cranking out games featuring themes and subjects that offered little, if any, synergy with game play. The low point might have been some of the celebrity tie-in games of the early eighties (which gave the world debacles like a Dolly Parton and Roy Clark tie-in). &#8220;Cirqus Voltaire&#8221; may represent a high point of thematic unity between game subjects, aesthetic design and play experience. It offers an otherworldly interpretation on a circus, with subtext, nuance and detail.</p>
<p>The really great thing about the game is the multiple levels of contextual awareness it offers. A slack jawed yokel can play it and just think its a nice game about the circus. To a cleverer player, it alternately provides a celebration and condemnation of the circus and, deeper still, of the popular culture that spawns and embraces them. This is not a new notion for a pinball machine to offer different levels of interpretation of seemingly innocuous events (it dates back to the pioneering artist Roy Parker, if not before) but in recent years it may not have been done more deftly than in Cirqus Voltaire.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Creatine can be a naturally developed amino acid that is found inside the human body, specially around the skeletal muscle. The human body generates Creatine naturally, partly from the diet plan we take and partly on its own. A healthy person has about 120g of Creatine, most of it being within the form of a compound known as PCr. The body can store a maximum Creatine quantity of 0.3 g per one kilogram of physique weight. The physique creates about 2g of Creatine per day. The chief food sources of Creatine are fish and red meat. Half a pound of raw meat provides about 1g of Creatine for the physique.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Creatine can be a naturally developed amino acid that is found inside the human body, specially around the skeletal muscle. The human body generates Creatine naturally, partly from the diet plan we take and partly on its own. A healthy person has about 120g of Creatine, most of it being within the form of a compound known as PCr. The body can store a maximum Creatine quantity of 0.3 g per one kilogram of physique weight. The physique creates about 2g of Creatine per day. The chief food sources of Creatine are fish and red meat. Half a pound of raw meat provides about 1g of Creatine for the physique. Creatine that does not come from food is produced endogenously by the physique from amino acids.</p>
<p>There are a number of advantages of Creatine. Creatine increases anaerobic energy inside the physique. It provides instant energy to the body. It enhances muscle power and makes the muscle suitable for high-intensity, brief duration effort like weight training or sprinting. It is also discovered to speed up the recovery of energy. It delays fatigue significantly. It promotes lean-muscle mass and reduces muscle wasting in post-surgical patients. It can be also believed to assist heart patients by increasing their workout capacity, reducing heart spasms and thus growing heart function. Creatine is normally taken as a supplement by athletes who require heavy bursts of power. Creatine acts as a catalyst to a particular chemical reaction that occurs within the body when an individual does high-intensity, short duration work. The physique generates sufficient Creatine to accommodate such sort of a reaction. For extra exertion, Creatine has to be taken additionally through food or via other types.</p>
<p>Creatine is now extremely well-liked amongst athletes because of its several rewards and extremely few side effects. The only side impact documented till now is weight acquire. Nonetheless, overdose of Creatine or use of Creatine over a lengthy time frame may have some other side effects also, and tests are still being conducted to figure out the effect of using Creatine inside the extended run. Creatine is accessible as a supplement like vitamin pills inside the type of over-the-counter drugs. Creatine is categorized as a &#8220;dietary supplement&#8221; and might be purchased even with out a prescription as per the 1994 Dietary Supplement Wellness and Education Act. Then once more, Creatine is not tested by the American FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and particular side effects like vomiting, diarrhea, and deep vein thromboses have been listed under a 1998 FDA report.</p>
<p><span id="more-806"></span></p>
<p>You can find a number of Creatine supplement items in the marketplace today. Creatine is obtainable in capsule, chewable and powdered forms. 1 teaspoon of the powdered form contains 5g of Creatine monohydrate. The suggested dosage is 1-2 teaspoons with 8 ounces of water per day. Nevertheless, the dosage can vary depending on the body exertion.</p>
<p>Athletes generally follow a dosage cycle comprising of loading and maintenance phases.</p>

It survived wars, economic downturn, moral outrage and most recently video games. Despite the changing cultural climate, it was still a shock when WMS Industries, the dominant player in the industry for the past decade and the maker of Williams and Bally machines, announced that it was getting out of the business several years ago.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For most of the 20th century it seemed that pinball was sort of the &#8216;cockroach&#8217; of the amusement industry&#8211;just too tough and/or too adaptable to kill. It survived wars, economic downturn, moral outrage and most recently video games. Despite the changing cultural climate, it was still a shock when WMS Industries, the dominant player in the industry for the past decade and the maker of Williams and Bally machines, announced that it was getting out of the business several years ago. WMS wasn&#8217;t in any sort of financial peril, but rather they wanted to focus on their more lucrative slot machine and video poker business.</p>
<p>At one point, pinball dominated the arcade. During the mid to late 1970s and on the heels of the movie version of the Who pinball themed rock opera Tommy arcades nationwide featured row upon row of gleaming new machines from one of over a half dozen US manufacturers (with many others made worldwide). The first salvo of the video game industry was fairly innocuous&#8221;Pong didnt do much to dent pinballs popularity since it didnt exactly offer the same immersive challenge. Besides, it took two to tango when it came to Pong, so that game and its progeny had more of an impact at the home level (and paved the way for what would become a huge industry). The first challenge to the popularity of the pinball machine in the arcade began with Midways Space Invaders and Ataris Asteroids. These games could be played alone, and offered the same sort of escapism that pinball provided. For the arcade owner, these games took up less space, required less maintenance, and offered a higher customer turnover.</p>
<p>Pinball hung in there, however, and through the early eighties continued to make some solid games. The ones that come immediately to mind are games like Firepower (which helped launched the now ubiquitous multi-ball feature), Black Knight (offering an early version of the looping ramps found on many modern machines) and a couple of fun machines from Bally Paragon and Flash Gordon. Several games were spun off from video games, including a couple of good ones&#8221;Spy Hunter and Space Invaders and a number of not so good ones based on the Pac Man video games. Bally even made a game called Baby Pac Man that was a video/pinball hybrid. For awhile, the choice between pinball and video games was similar to the choice between Pepsi and Coke: both were equally pervasive and it was simply a matter of personal preference.</p>
<p><span id="more-805"></span></p>
<p>It was the late 1980s&#8221;when video games became more technologically advanced and began to offer superior play experiences&#8221;that pinball lost its way. Depending on the manufacturer, they did it in different ways. Gottlieb and others made simple, traditional games that just couldnt compete with their video counterparts. Bally and other manufacturers went the opposite route&#8221;by cramming so much onto a playfield that the game hardly resembled traditional pinball. Some of Ballys late 1980s games&#8221;with so much playfield gimmickry going on&#8221;were nearly unplayable. By this point&#8221;and in large part due to the paucity of compelling pinball machines turned out during this era&#8221;video had taken over the arcade. Some larger arcades continued to offer a few pinball machines to placate hardcores, while some eliminated pinball altogether.</p>
<p>In the 1990&#8217;s, pinball began to experience a bit of a comeback driven by well designed, enjoyable games that finally got the balance between traditional gameplay and modern technology right. Williams was at the forefront of the return to excellent design and gameplay, and its hard to think of a Williams game from this period that wasnt a fun game to play, if not a borderline classic. The mainstream media began to notice the renaissance, and noted that the average pinball machine received much more repeat business than the average video game and about the devotion of the pinball player.</p>
<p>With the century drawing to a close, it seemed that the Williams/Bally outfit had found a niche and would be able to grind out pinball machines for the aficionados forever. The final nail in the coffin, however, was a lot of societal changes beyond their control. For one, video games and video arcades became less profitable as companies like Sony and Nintendo were able to transform a lot of the high end gameplay to the home platform. Meanwhile, trends like new urbanism,which saw a return to downtown storefronts and the growth of online shopping combined to hurt traditional shopping malls. Fewer people were going to malls, and they werent staying as long when they did. Mega-malls like the Mall of America and the Forum Shops at Caesar&#8217;s were the exception to this, but there just werent enough to these to sustain demand. As the century ended, the WMS corporate braintrust decided to pull the plug on pinball and concentrate on their highly profitable gambling machine business. From a business standpoint, it probably made sense but that didnt make it any easier for lifelong pinball enthusiasts to reconcile with.</p>
<p>Pinball still soldiers on, with something of a hipster revival of the games in cities like Seattle and Portland where lovingly restored machines sit alongside new offerings by Stern Pinball, the only remaining manufacturer in the world. At this point, it appears that the only hope for pinball players is that some effort will be made to preserve the machines that already exist.</p>
