I played a pinball machine called "Bram Stoker's" Dracula while in Cambridge this week. It was rubbish - very inert, with plenty of boring bits while waiting for the ball to get from one place to another. That's not how pinball should be...
Much better was the Elvira pinball we played while on holiday a couple of weeks ago. It was fun and had some very coherent "stories" which you had to complete.
