A cute way of simulating a game of basketball - you shoot with the flippers, a couple of pins act as "defenders", and if you let the ball slip between your flippers, you concede a basket. Unfortunately, it's very easy to cheat - if you hold the lever down, the ball can't get between your flippers. Also, if you trap it between the flippers by doing that, and then shoot, the ball almost always goes directly up in a straight line into the opposition's basket. But hey - you're only cheating yourself, you know.
