SS IEEE SPECTRUM REPORTED AT the end of last year, pinball is having a revival, driven in part by the shift to e-commerce, which is turning erstwhile big-box retail stores into cheap real estate for family entertainment centers. Modern pinball machines, with enhancements like upgradable software, are vastly more sophisticated than their electromechanical ancestors. Stern Pinball is in the vanguard of this renaissance, making home and arcade versions of many of its games. The latest title available in a home version is the US $4,500 Star Wars Pin, based on comics artwork and models inspired by the original movie trilogy.
