I'd be more excited if it was a project to re-manufacture the actual machines rather than a goofy iPhone app. As if today's kids are gonna understand the excitement of pinball through a handheld device doing emulation of something that is purely physical and kinetic. Pinball is still out there. It's three blocks away at the pizza shop in my town. Put your money in the coin slot and play the real thing. Talking about preservation (is this really preservation?) and the extinction of pinball is like giving a eulogy for your father while he's eating dinner right across from you.
