Pinball.

There’s something about it. It has aspects of a videogame but brought to life with intricate mechanisms and lights.

It may seem fully random at first, but you get to a point where you can aim and pick where you’re going to shoot the ball.

Of course, you can’t eliminate gravity and weird bounces so you’ll always end up draining your ball at some point.

I run the weekly tournaments here in Traverse City at both of our pinball locations. I post all the results and announcements on tcpinball.org.
