Just to be clear, LIS first did the magneto spinning magnet trick back in ‘01. It was maybe even cooler because the balls were fed to magnet via an upkick and wireform and dropped onto the magnet from above.

Edit- I was wrong, but LIS still kicks booty.

Quoted from docquest:
Lost In Space came out in 1998, but Twister had the same type of spinning magnet disc and came out even earlier in 1996.
John Borg did both of those games as well as Xmen-LE which has the same type of spinning disc but maybe a little smaller in diameter.

My bad on year
