I think this is possible but would be a very rudimentary Pinball-game
just two mechanical flippers and a ball bouncing on targets. Add a counter (CD4017) some lights and you can compete with friends in "who clears all targets first".

If you think it can be done, then do this and take it into consideration:
send the layout of the pinball machine. Include how you're going to take switches. And also it will be very thick. Servo's can be used instead of solenoids. A manual 'fill in ball and manual spring shoot' can be used.
