You can control the force with which your ball is fired onto the table - and Microdeal have got the bouncing motion of the ball off to a tee. Read Review
All the graphics are hi-res, there are sound effects and the ball moves very smoothly and realistically. Read Review
The graphics and sound are fairly rudimentary but nevertheless Pinball is fun and easy to play. Read Review
Its appeal may be limited to those occasional sessions when you realise you haven't played the game for a while... one day you simply have to play. Read Review
Simulated Pinball Machine in superb full colour graphics. Three different screens with points scoring for hitting the sides of the table, circles, crosses, rectangles and disappearing turntable. "Fire" the ball with the spring arm, then see how long you can keep the ball rolling by bouncing it with the shutters. Machine Code. Cassette. Joystick or Keyboard control.
The object of the game is to keep the ball moving around the table for as long as possible. When it falls to the bottom of the table, press Fire (or Key 7) to operate the flippers and bounce it back.
Note: The title page is only displayed after the music has finished playing!
Key 7 operates the ball trigger and the flippers at the bottom of the table. Hold the key for longer to fire the ball faster.
Alternatively, use a joystick connected to the right joystick port. Fire then controls the trigger and flippers.
