Eric Stone Pinball
Stone is a local TV weatherman by day, but in front of a pinball machine, he’s a world-class competitor.
At a local tournament, he’s intensely focused as he controls the flippers to direct the small silver ball around the various components of the game. He bounces the ball from one flipper to the other and hits the sides of the machine to help control the ball’s movement, as the point tally at the top of the game climbs.
It’s a talent the 43-year-old meteorologist wasn’t supposed to have. Doctors told his parents when he was a toddler that an issue with his nervous system would mean he’d have poor hand-eye coordination. So his mother bought him a pinball machine when he was 4.
Stone, who works for Fox 4 and previously for WINK News, said he took to the game right away. That first pinball machine was called Captain Fantastic, an Elton John-themed game that Stone had to use a step stool to reach as a kid.
He soon branched out to other games, accompanying his dad to 7-Eleven on weekends to play pinball there. His dad would give him 50 cents, enough for two games, to play for about an hour while he drank coffee and read the newspaper in the car. As a result, Stone said he’d stretch his gameplay time for the duration of their stay.
Family migration.
His family moved from New Jersey to New Hampshire, just a mile and a half from Funspot. Which holds the Guinness World Record as the largest video game arcade. Moreover, he said that he set about 20 world records on pinball games at that arcade, adding that he wishes he would have known about pinball competitions then so he could have built up his ranking.
Getting involved with the Asylum Inmates Pinball League helped Stone rise in the global rankings. Therefore, he went on to win the International Flipper Pinball Association’s North American championship in 2017. Eric said he had never before seen the first game that he played at that event. But the score he got on that game was the highest score all weekend in the tournament. Accordingly, He won a pinball machine valued at around $6,300, he said.
