Nevertheless, I had a lot more fun playing it standing up. I’m not going to lie to you– this machine is lower than a real pinball machine. My suspicion is that the bezel was made silver as a misguided attempt to make it look like a lockdown bar and siderails. The machine’s build quality feels very good, and I can lean on it without moving, even though it’s clearly built for children. I find these acceptable compromises for the size the bezel seems awful in pictures, but in person it’s not too bad. The monitor is 24”, surrounded by a grey bezel that is ugly at best, and the backbox has only alphanumeric panels no DMD, and the game on the backglass is always Haunted House. The Toyshock is a “3/4 scale” arcade machine this makes it comparable to the standup cabs sold by Arcade1up (I’ve taken a look at their cocktail table cabinet before), at least on paper. Let’s see how it goes! The Toyshock 21C Digital Haunted House & Black Hole 12-in-1 3D Pinball Machineįirst off: I’m not a marketer, but I feel like you should give your product a shorter name. So as an apartment dweller, seeing a company launch a virtual pinball table for under $500 surprised me. Virtual pinball– playing pinball video games on a monitor propped at an angle– seems to offer some benefits, even if it’s not the same, but those are also big and not cheap, either. Pinball machines are wonderful and a ton of fun, but they’re also huge, electromechanical beasts that require constant maintenance.
