Editorial Review

Players of this old-fashioned tabletop game find that, instead of playing pinball, they're interfacing with America's favorite pastime. Manually played, Old Century Baseball has no electronic features--just sanded, stained, and nostalgically painted wood. Players pull back the hammer to pitch the steel pinball (there are two included) into the colorful field. A single wooden flipper--shaped like a bat--hits it. Instead of yesteryear's Red Sox or Black Crackers running bases, there are pinball holes or ramps to signify singles, doubles, triples, outs, or grand slams. Players use detailed score cards to keep track of Road and Home positions and points.

The 27- by 27- by 8-inch game requires some assembly. To that end, wood glue is included to attach the backboard, pennant flags, and field walls. Screws mount the exterior ball-return slot and support legs. No batteries required. --Diane Beall

Product Description

Calling all baseball fans, young and old. Celebrate the great American pastime with a game dedicated to the ballparks of the past. This all-new concept in pinball games brings you back to what baseball use to be. You can hit everything - from a single to a homerun - in pinball fashion. Even keep score on real score cards. Plus, with a twist of a knob, your score will appear on the scoreboard. Intricately detailed for baseball fans. Measures approximately 21"L x 22"W x 12"H.

I recommend this one over the smaller model made by the same company. This one is much more playable.

Who'd thought that pinball mixed with basball could equal this? This is an antique "Piseball" game where players take turns batting, the object is like baseball! GET THE MOST RUNS! Teams can be 1-9 players long and should prove to be a grand-slam game for any audience! The Japanese have a game on the Super Nintendo that's based off of this exact game! This is a great game for all ages.
