A cacophony of flashing lights\, sound effects\, moving targets\, and vivid graphics fill the playfield and keep us coming back for more. Game themes are derived from movies\, television\, sports\, comics\, current events\, rock star personalities\, and other aspects of everyday life.The exhibition has been organized by the Muskegon Museum of Art and is underwritten by an anonymous donor. Media sponsors are WGVU Public Radio and The Muskegon Chronicle. The customized pinball machines are courtesy of a West Michigan collector.
