Microsoft Pinball on Game Boy Color is one of those weird little time capsules—like finding an old arcade token in your jeans pocket. The physics are janky in that classic early handheld way, where the ball sometimes moves like it's underwater, but that’s half the charm. You’ve got two flippers, some bumpers that sound like a tin can getting kicked, and this weirdly satisfying *clunk* when you nail a ramp shot.

It’s not flashy, but there’s something weirdly zen about trying to keep the ball alive just a little longer than last time. The high score chase hits different when you’re squinting at that tiny greenish screen. Perfect for bus rides or pretending to listen in meetings. Just don’t tilt too hard—the Game Boy won’t forgive you.
