The Nottage Design G-1 Pool Table is easily the coolest, most unique and most futuristic pool table around.
It features a transparent playing area with a glass top and a patented Vitrik resin playing surface that allows the balls to roll like a regular pool ball, just without the need for felt.
At around $25,000 it’s definitely not cheap, but if your evil villain lab’s game room is not yet complete, it’s a small price to pay for awesome.

Chicago’s Stern Pinball is the last manufacturer of pinball machines in the world.
Hard to believe, isn’t it?
Unfortunately, an ADD age and the move towards electronic entertainment now means that just 10,000 of the machines are produced annually, and most head towards the game rooms and basements of private homes, rather than the arcades and bowling alleys of yore.
Can pinball survive much longer?
For the sake of children and childhoods everywhere, I can only hope that the answer is yes.
