Dunno what you're talking around, frankly. Requesting links, details, purpose, etc.

I can see adding links to games. But as far as hosting games themselves on the site... the games are made by other people, and might not be creative commons or whatevs.

Video pinball never did it for me until The Williams Collection came out for the Wii. If you haven't played that, you should check it out. It features 10 or so actual Williams machines, like Funhouse, Black Knight, Firepower, Whirlwind, Taxi, Pin-Bot, among others I kinda wish they had reconsidered for others. But it responds to you making the bumping motion with your hands which really adds to the realism.

Of course, not nearly as good as the real thing. But hey, I live in a 900 sq. foot condo. It's the closest I'll get to playing pinball in my underwear at home.

900 sq feet? what's a pin, 3 square feet? don't give up hope, if you have a dream you can fulfill it!

also, i can't dig video pinball much either. i have the visual pinMAME, and sometimes i think, "hey, better than nothing, at least i can play a simulated cactus canyon," but then it's so infuriating that you can't see the shots, or make the ball work off the table the way a real machine does, that it's actually worse than having a bad game in real life. it makes me want to throw my computer across the room.

on the other hand though, i could see the fun of having a simple pinball game hosted on the site-- like pong or something. that could be pretty cool.
