It may seem like the complete antithesis of what you'd expect to see on the floor of the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show, but there they are — pinball machines.
Wedged nicely between warring videogame platforms like the Xbox One and PS4 are these vintage throwbacks to yesteryear. But don't be fooled — today's pinball machines are a lot crazier than you probably remember. And while the smooth lines and familiar electronic glow of your favorite gaming systems won't be leaving your rec room any time soon, you might want to consider the epic coolness of landing one of these babies down there in the mancave.
CraveOnline has your quickie introduction to the fine keepers of the pinball flame at Stern Pinball and their awesome product — check it out!
