of all!) As you know, in most of the pinball sim's, you use the space bar to nudge
or tilt the table. I learned this trick: If the ball runs out via the side lane,
there is a chance to save it by lifting the flipper and just before it drops down,
hit the space bar. With a little luck, the ball jumps up on the other flipper, just

It also happens that I play on a real pinball machine. Guess my friends laughed at
me when the ball was running out in the left side lane of a real machine, I lifted
the left flipper and frenetically searched for the space bar!
