When pinball enthusiasts talk about the way a shot "feels," they're actually talking about tiny variables within the game, like how far the plunger can be drawn back, or how lanes line up with the flippers, or the size of the ball gutters. For short, they refer to this as "kinetics," and the reason that the original Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection caught everyone's attention was that developer FarSight and publisher Crave had so perfectly captured the kinetics of ten famous pinball machines from the manufacturer Williams which, until its departure from the pinball business in 1999, held nearly seventy percent of the market.
