Then there's the battle to gain contol of a solid steel ball as it careers around a playfield, bouncing off the rubbers, generating spin as it goes, forever heading back towards you.

Todays games require an understanding not only of the physics of an object in motion, but anticipation, and the use of subtle nudging and complex flipper control to manoeuver the ball exactly where you want it to be - to defy the game and keep the ball in play.
