[QUOTE="Jeff Strong, post: 58499, member: 3"] The predictability of the plunger is what saved pinball back in the 70’s: "Roger Sharpe is a pinball designer and author. He is the father of Zachary and Joshua Sharpe. Roger is one of the most idolized people in the pinball community. He is most famous for his work with legalizing pinball by proving it is a game of skill." In 1976, Roger Sharpe stood before the New York City Council, with all the pressure in the world on his shoulders. He explained that if he pulled the plunger back just the right amount, the ball would go in a certain lane. He pulled back the plunger, and the ball went right into the lane he had pointed out previously. The head of the council announced that he had seen enough, and pinball was soon legal. The decision spread through out the country, and pinball was soon legal everywhere." [/QUOTE]
