Discover how these revolutionary ‘space-age pinball machines’ transformed from simple ball-and-paddle games to iconic hits like Pac-Man, becoming a significant part of American popular culture.

This insightful book, perfect for enthusiasts of retro gaming and cultural history, analyzes the complex identity of this emerging medium.
