Would you rather play Ballz 3D or Pinball?

I'd rather play Bullet Ball
Despite being one of the most hilariously depressing sequences to come from American Inventor, it turns out Bullet Ball did finally find some success a few years after appearing on that show. The National Center on Health, Physical Activity, and Disability seems to have purchased some sort of rights to the game for the purpose of using it as an "inclusion sport" - due to the focus on upper body movement, it's a perfect competitive sport for paraplegics and some developmentally disabled people. It's still being used by them some ten years later. The inventor even wrote a book on it a few years back and it's apparently made some money on its own.

Now THAT'S a Bullet Ball!

Good for him, I like a laugh but man alive, I really felt bad for the guy. Glad he's found success
