Finally, Pinball is back with a new generation embracing the beloved old-school arcade game, including a young Pinball Wizard who once gave me a few pointers. Here's George Solis.

Chances are you've never seen Pinball play quite like this. The action at this Pinballer's Paradise in Wilmington, Delaware. So fast paced, scores almost seem made up.

A couple of hundred million is a pretty good score on that game in general.

A hundred million? No biggie for pinball prodigy and full-time College student, 19-year-old Jason Zahler. Playing since he was three years old, he is currently ranked the number one player in the world by the International Flipper Pinball Association, the governing body for pinball as a collective sport. Earning his title by competing in more than 240 national and international tournaments, awards on display at home where Jason mastered the game.

See, very little effort, and you got control like that.

I'm the one player in the world saying, I didn't do so bad. That's pretty good. But his presence at this local tournament has some competitors ready to tilt. It can be intimidating. You know you're not going to have a very good chance, but you got to try anyway. Jason is the pinball Prince. His father, Steve, is the pinball Wizard.

He wouldn't stop playing those machines until he beat every That's the best high score that I had. And I spent a lot of time on those machines.

Likely why he's ranked 24th best in the world. Do you ever get a little competitive with your son?

We're definitely rivals.

Today, finishing in a respectable fifth place is ranking unscathed. Jason's consolation prize, bigger than any trophy. One more game alongside his dad.

Jason, you're having fun? You're having fun? I'm having fun.

A shot this champion never misses. George Solis, NBC News, Wilmington, Delaware.
