#Pinball arcade wikipedia license#
It is not rare for pinball games to have the real actors for the license helping out with voice clips specifically for the game. Many tables use a license of some kind as the theme. Thousands of pinball tables have been created. The game is simple: You have a (usually) metal ball in a playfield and you get to smash it around using (usually) two moving arms, called flippers. Its name was based on an ancient game that no longer has any relationship to the current game. Pinball is a type of game that you can find in the arcade.
