Pinball games have been a favorite of mine ever since Pinball Dreams on the SNES and the modern era of Pinball FX games have offered a continual stream of top-shelf pinball titles on the market. One thing we haven't seen much of is a blend of neon-soaked worlds and pinball. It's a fitting mix given how big pinball was in the '80s as it was a bit of a throwback then, but machines remained popular well into the '90s.

Vaporwave Pinball stands out from the pack because it had not only a Steam Next Fest demo available, but also offers up a viewpoint that's almost like Pinball on the NES where the table itself is raised, but the table is in the center of a larger space. This is an interesting viewpoint to look at a pinball table at because you get a full view of the table at the expense of getting a head-on view of the table. It's odd in theory, but also fits being in an arcade and walking around a table and seeing it in an arcade with the attract screen going and music and sound effects blaring....
