An hour-long documentary called Tilt, available for purchase online for $20, details a last-ditch effort to combine pinball with videogaming. Pinball 2000, pictured above, superimposed holographs over the table. Its modular design allowed arcade operators to swap out different themes as they were released. It even got a little Star Wars branding with a Phantom Menace table. Spoiler: Pinball 2000 failed.

Thanks to Boing Boing for mentioning this. The comments section under their entry reads like a sort of director's commentary for the movie, followed by some comments by hardcore pinball aficionados. There's also an interview with the director of Tilt at GameSetWatch.

Pinball is a beloved bit of last-century tech a lot of us grew up with. This is probably heresy to true pinball devotees, but it lives on for me in Crave's excellent Hall of Fame collections, one of Williams tables and another of Gottlieb tables. These are never far from my PSP. And although Pinball 2000 didn't even make it to the year 2000 (Williams shut down their pinball division in two months before the new millennium), that was a landmark year for pinball. Empire released Big Race USA, which is arguably the best videogame adaptation of a pinball machine.
