Great episode and nice twist.
Does this episode remind anyone of 1983's Nightmare's Emilo Estevez story Battle of the Bishop?

I haven't seen that movie in awhile, but I can see where it would remind you of that. I always enjoyed this episode, too. The pinball sound effects were pretty cool and the idea of being trapped inside a game was interesting.

Yeah now that you mention it. Pinball Wizard was one of my favorites from the series. I thought Bishop of Battle was the best story from Nightmares.
shareOne of the series' best. The ending is depressingly good!
As undeserving as the kid's fate was (in my not-so cynical way of thinking I'd like to believe he eventually found a way out), there's no denying that was quite a ballsy way to end a family-friendly show that for the most part had happy endings.
