TNG Pinball!

We here at Treknobabble love Star Trek, most of us love video games, and a few of us love pinball. Well, all of these loves have collided in a wonderful way: The possibility of getting a digital re-creation of Star Trek: The Next Generation, a classic pinball table from the 90s, on our PS3s, Xboxes, Androids, and iPhones.

Make it so!!!

There's a catch - the company who makes the games, Farsight, needs to raise money via Kickstarter to obtain the licensing rights to the table. They are looking to raise $110k in order to create digital versions of "The Twilight Zone" and "Star Trek TNG." But the beauty of this fundraising method is that, if you kick in some funds now at the ten dollar level, you get both tables for "free" when the drive succeeds.

So please, if only for my sake (but also for yours, because these games rock), go check out the Kickstarter page and consider funding this project for at least $10.
