Surprisingly successful attempt to simulate the not inconsiderable joys of the common pin table. Although it looks fairly mundane, the gameplay is actually quite addictive and evokes the authentic fish 'n chips feel of a run-down pin joint. The author was obviously a devotee.

Potential gamers are advised to note that the pintable is of the double gate variety, with high and low scoring bumpers, bonus roll-overs and a free-ball pay-off. A familiar layout. Balls are relatively fast-paced, with almost flicker-free movement, and the flipper responses are excellent. I dare say that with practice you could aim for almost any bumper on-screen. The potential for mega-scores is clearly massive.

I doubt if it'll ever replace the real thing though. Half the fun of playing the genuine article involved thwacking the pin-cabinet at some strategic point. Who could play and not taunt the tilt? Unfortunately, to succumb to such temptation here would clearly have disastrous results!
