My personal  favorite  pinball  machine is "Sing Along" (by  Gottlieb, I
think).  A  silly   name,   not  very   impressive   to  look  at,  only
single-player  (gasp), no dummy zero in the "ones" scoring  position.  A
simple but enjoyable playing surface, though.

Key features are channels down both sides and a row of four kicker holes
across the  center.  The main object is to light up all four lights in a
column below each hole, by hitting various  targets.  As lights come on,
hole   values   increase.  All  four  in  column   causes  the  hole  to
occasionally light up for a special (replay).  Lighting all sixteen is a
rare thrill, as one of the holes is always then lit (liberal settings).

One of the nice things  about the machine was that most (all?)  features
accumulate  over  an  entire  game.  Foo  on  the  newer  machines  that
virtually reset every time you slurp one ball.
