I teach at a middle school. Next Friday we are having our Halloween Dance/Activity Night. I will be bringing a pinball machine for kids to play. I'm trying to find a short video clip to play during our morning announcements to help advertise the fact that there will be a pinball machine there for the kids to play. Just looking for about 15-20 seconds from a video that shows flashing lights, flipping, music, and all the "cool" stuff about pinball. My youtube searching has found me a few possible candidates but nothing great so far. Any ideas?

Hello tmontana. What kind of game are you bringing - your EM? I have a video of an older 1969 EM pinball machine that I can edit down to 20 seconds with music if you are interested.

What's nice about this video is that it shows a montage of everything about playing a pinball for the first time, from inserting a quarter, resetting the machine, flipping and pop bumping to game over.

If you are bringing a newer game, you should probably go with video of a newer pinball machine.

That's awesome that you are bringing a pin to school for your students.

I am a college English Prof, and I have been looking for a good oppertunity that makes sence for me to bring one of my machines in.
I have been trying to think of a way that I could work pinball into a lecture/course, but haven't come up with much yet that would fit the curriculum....lol....one day...lol
