Just something to think of, but if you have a Wii or WiiU and have access to the 2 part Wii controller setup, the Williams Pinball Collection or even the download of TPA on there had a whole other sense of mid-way realism to it because you hold the two parts like the edges of a pinball machine, the triggers are your flippers and you shove them like you would a real table to nudge as well. It's a weird but oddly rewarding compromise.
