Abstract
A motion pinball game comprises a player station, a playing field, a motion control interface, and a motion platform. The player station and the playing field are coupled to the motion platform. A motion control interface generates a motion command that is received by a motion platform. The player station and the playing field are set in motion on the basis of the motion command. A player positioned in the player station can generate the motion commands via the motion control interface. This design allows the player to control and experience the same motion as the playing field, which adds to the enjoyment of playing the game.
