hhmmm...can't say I'm much help. I pretty much play that game all the time too. Too bad we can't compete or something. hehe
a first person shooter game instead of PINBALL??!! Please, stick with the pinball!!

I had a sort of addiction to a child's game called Astro Pop.
Its a game that looks like it was made for eight -year-olds.
I used to curse and swear when ever I would play it, but I couldn't stop and I would play it more!
I would play it all day until the last time, or at least the last time I smothered myself in the silly computer game!
I still play the game, although it doesn't have the same power, it once did!
There is nothing wrong with being addict like, when playing on the computer!
Just leave the program on your computer desktop.
Put an Icon of the game on your desktop and play it when ever you don't need to do anything else!
Just decide before-hand how far your going to play or how long!
I would stop at ever new level and save so that I could play again later!
So, if you want to stop or at least react normally, play... even when you don't want to.
Sooner or later your going to get so sick of the game!
I play for hand/eye coordination
Try different games using the same theme as far as pin balls or shooting at a target!
Eventually, you'll find another when you do you want be hooked on any other game!
Maybe you'll know how to control feelings!
Good luck!

Find something else to get rid of your addiction. Since that you are into fast-paced stuff with good hand-eye coordination. I would suggest trying a FPS (first person shooter) to play. If shooting people isn't your thing, then maybe try some sports games.
You could play sports outside to get your mind off the game also.

get another hobby instead. or maybe you can go to one of those computer gaming addicts clincs for professional help. your condtion is that worse off because at least you know you are addicted. do something quick before you turn into a compulsive gamer!!!

turn off the sounds..... i have read in some article, i forgot where, that the sounds were designed as such to stimulate your mind thus making you addicted to that game.... they use the same sounds in casinos that's why you often find people in a trance.

no worries...you will eventually tire of it and either move on to another game, or find something else to do
