Quoted from frenchmarky:I was just wondering... pinball was around for decades before Gottlieb thought up the flipper. Do you think another device could ever come about that could top it? Hard to imagine such a thing but so was the flipper. Then again the flipper's been around for over 70 years. But it's still just a simple bat moved by a solenoid. Technology and mechanics have come a long way since then. Answer's probably no but I still wonder about it.
Williams tried banana flippers.
