Witnessing his joy felt infectious to the onlookers. The high-stakes excitement became a heady thrill that amplified the enthralling atmosphere of the arcade.

POEM:
In the arcades glowing hum,
A stranger world where pinballs run.
Video ripples, a spectral feast,
In the backbox, fears released.

Excited player, eyes ablaze,
Mastering the silver maze.
Fingers twitch, nudging the thrill,
Bending chaos to their will.

Winks of light and fun combine,
In this timeless, tilting shrine.
Of all games in Arcades grand hall,
Nothing mesmerizes like pinball.
