Detailed Analysis:
- Claim:** "Anyone who's ever played pinball knows it takes skill, and a little luck." This is a generally accepted statement and doesn't require specific verification.
- Claim:** "Now the blast from the past is catching on with a new generation." The provided sources do not directly confirm or deny this claim. While Verification Source #5 mentions "Full Tilt! Pinball" a 1995 game, it doesn't address the current popularity of pinball. This claim is plausible based on general knowledge of retro trends, but cannot be definitively verified with the provided sources.
- Claim:** "Ben Tracy delivers his hands-on report." This is a statement about the format of the CBS News video and cannot be verified by the provided sources.
Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:
- The sources primarily focus on the game "Full Tilt! Pinball" (Verification Source #1, #2, #3, #4, #5) and ways to run it on modern systems. They do not directly address the broader claim of pinball's resurgence.
- Verification Source #5: States "Full Tilt! Pinball, known as Pinball 95 in Europe, is a 1995 pinball video game developed by Cinematronics and published by Maxis." This provides background on a specific pinball game, but doesn't confirm or deny the article's claims about the current state of pinball.
- There are no direct contradictions within the provided sources. The lack of coverage on the main claim limits the ability to fully assess factual accuracy.
