I got a decent screenshot of it, so you can tell it wasn't a one-off: it happens whenever nudging the ball when it's in the drain.

REALLY COOL BUG, I loved seeing the ball ROLL ACROSS THE FREAKING FLOOR!!!! I don't think there's been another pinball game where that can happen, and it really sells the idea that this pinball table is not just a separate, isolated minigame, but it's in the arcade, part of it.

It almost felt like a deliberate tilt-detection feature, except the game doesn't handle it at all. Instead, the player can neither continue the minigame, nor exit it, and must quit to desktop and restart.

Feels like rather than fixing the bug by preventing the ball from escaping, it's one of those cases where the bug could instead be made into a fun Easter egg/feature, by detecting the ball's escape from the table or screen, and making something happen. A line of dialog? An auto-fail of the minigame?
