For some, pinball is a hobby, but for one Phoenix area teenager, what began as a father-and-son activity soon turned into something much more than a hobby. It turned into something that saw him becoming internationally ranked.
Pinball is typically a game for an older crowd. However, with arcades making a comeback, more are getting exposed to the beloved classic."The depth of the game to a lot of people who aren’t into pinball, they don’t understand the complexity and the rules," Dev said."We decided, 'hey, let's give it a shot. For a week straight, let’s just play pinball and see if we like it,'" Eric said. "We did, and that was about 2.
Dev does play sports, so he is not sure how long he’ll continue playing pinball competitively. For now, however, he and his dad are enjoying the ride."It makes me really proud to have my son be able to perform at a high level," Eric said. "It’s a great thing that we share. I feel fortunate and lucky to be able to share it with my son.
Dev said you must practice a lot, and study every game to figure out the cause and effect of each game, so you can get the most points.
