I know I've said it before, but I don't usually like pinball video games that much. Even though that Kickstarter doesn't have a chance at this point, do you still think we could get the originals on Steam? I wasn't entirely clear on that point. METROID PRIME PINBALL HD SWITCH PROAll-in-all, TPA's biggest competition seems to be Pro and Zen, but Pro's future success seems completely reliant on an unrealistic Kickstarter. ![]() ![]() Metroid Prime Pinball is fun but limited in scope. I still kick up Microsoft Pinball Arcade every once in a while, mainly for Haunted House, and Retro/Epic Pinball was cool back in the day but shows its age. We've all done our time on Visual Pinball and Future Pinball, but there aren't enough recreations available on Future. Pinball HD Collection is okay, as iPad pinballs go, but the unrealistic layouts are a big turnoff to me. Pro Pinball is excellent, of course, but I've just about had my fill of those four tables. I'm starting to see the virtues of Zen 2, but I was never much of a fan of the original. TPA is still undoubtedly my favorite, but surprisingly, I spend most of my "alternative time" on Age of Pinballs. If TPA ever gets into Gottlieb electromechanicals, I would dearly love for them to do Royal Flush. METROID PRIME PINBALL HD SWITCH MAC OSIt was for Classic Mac OS and didn't make the transition to OS X, so that was it for me until PHoF came out. METROID PRIME PINBALL HD SWITCH FOR FREEThe Mac port became orphanware and was released for free by the developer, which was how I encountered it. I think Broderbund released the PC version. (I never encountered this last until many years later in emulation.)īut prior to Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection, my favorite pinball sim ever was Royal Flush, which introduced me to the joys of simulated real tables (Royal Flush was a great 1970s Gottlieb EM they did a solid-state remake a few years later, but the sim was doing the EM version). Later on, there was a "Midnight Magic" cartridge for the 2600, which was not very much like David's Midnight Magic but actually was recognizably like pinball the main thing it lacked was a nudge. I spent a lot of time playing Atari 2600 Video Pinball, which was not very much like pinball but provided some entertainment anyway. It seems to have been a deliberate choice, but it's a baffling one. Pro Pinball, what I've played of it (not much), was indeed great.įlipnic was weirdly disappointing it starts out as a lush and sprawling fantasy-pinball game (with some irritating features, like the UFOs with unskippable cutscenes), but as you play on, the game actually gets more primitive in graphics and gameplay until it's not so much pinball as a sort of open-playfield Pong. Have I missed any noteworthy releases, past or present? Which ones do you think present the greatest challenge for FarSight? Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection But how does it measure up to the competition when we look at the top-rated current and classic pinball titles? With 16 tables released and the distinct advantage of its painstakingly accurate historical recreations, some of us already believe that it's achieved that goal. ![]() FarSight aims to make The Pinball Arcade the greatest pinball video game of all time. ![]()
