This game was the first time I played a pinball game that felt like a real video game re-imagining rather than a copy of the physical game. I played it with my family for so many months until the follow up came out, and Creep Night just completely blew me away. The original is still one of my fondest memories.

3D ultra pinball was a great change from the pinball machine table top formula. Each release was themed and created a different atmosphere for each one with very different game environments for each. The replayability was mah better than the standard pinball machine systems of its time with great graphics and soundscape. There were always new achievements you would have come across in each playthrough that you would have not previously seen, always wanting the player to come back to find something else that was new. If this was bought back to GOG, playing this on a larger modern monitor and a good set of speakers or headset would be a refreshing experience for any player, especailly the pinball enthusiast.

Extreme Pinball
Extreme PinballExtreme Pinball was Epic's successor to their hit pinball game Epic Pinball. It contains four pinball tables: Rock Fantasy, Medieval Knights, Urban Chaos, and Monkey Mayhem, each with a different theme. Compared to Epic Pinball, it has a larger, 320x400 resolution, as well as taller tables, both allowing for more objects. It also has a typical Dot Matrix Display where the scoreboard shows 3D-rendered animations as well. The controls are more sensitive with a faster ball. This is less true to real pinball gameplay, but it speeds up the game's pace and gives more power to the player to influence the movement.

Microsoft Pinball Arcade
Microsoft Pinball ArcadeThe programmers at Microsoft are porting a game from their operating system over to the Game Boy Color with MICROSOFT PINBALL ARCADE. This pinball game was great fun on the PC, and now it is in a form that can be taken anywhere. There are seven different tables that are actually representative of real boards made by pinball giant Gottlieb throughout the last century. Each board carries a different theme, whether it is space travel or a haunted house. The boards also contain a varying number of paddles and paddle locations to make each a different playing experience. The graphics in this version are not as shiny as its computer counterpart, but they do translate well to the small color screen. The sound effects and music remain largely the same, adding to the game's arcade feel. The cartridge also contains a short but detailed history of pinball and how it has evolved over the years. MICROSOFT PINBALL ARCADE gives players the classic game with enough boards and extras to keep even the experts busy for quite a while.
