I used to play Foosball a lot. When I was a kid in Skating rinks, game rooms, and the bowling alley and then when I was older more often than not in pubs and of course at home. Loved playing but two things kept me from really digging in and enjoying it. 1. None of my good friends really enjoyed playing the game. Oh sure they'd play but not with anything like real enthusiasm. (dAN always preferred playing chess. Probably because he knew he would kick I disagree in seconds.) 2. Whenever I did get a chance to play more often than not the opponent felt "spinning" wildly was a valid way to play the game. That always drives me nuts. 8O
Anyway I ran across the link above and the "shockwave" type version of the game is pretty cool. Nothing beats the real thing but it's nice to fool with on your lunch break.
