For a Pinball Lover

Reviewer: Slammin Jim-, Abilene TX
The realism of these tables is outstanding. Better yet it plays well on my XP machine with a 64 bit processor.
Good pinball game
 
Review Date: August 24, 2005
Reviewer: Michael A. Lane,
I gave the title of this review "good pinball game" but is not, by far, the greatest pinball I have ever played, but if is fun if you enjoy classic pinball games dating back as far as the 1930's when pinball machines were made without flippers.

It has a lot of variety because you can see how pinball machines have evolved over the years. Each table in the game is from a different era or year.

The graphics and detail are not the greatest but the excitment of the tables makes up for it.

Overall, it is worth $10.00 or $12.00 you spend on it.
Not that much fun

Reviewer: Susan A. Becker,
I thought these would be really fun pinball games, but I felt they were not! You could never get any big points, which makes a person teed off to say the least. For me this was a waste of money
