PSS / £9.95
Rick: Well, flip me, what a bumper treat for pinball and programming wizards. This is the pinball game in excelsis!
But not only that, this game has the facility to let you design your own pin ball table. Mind you, there's nothing wrong with the programmed one. And if you come up with a beaut then PSS will build it and give it to you. If you don't win their competition it'll still provide you with endless permutations of bumpers, bells and ripples.
Right from the loading screen this game captures all the thrills of those nights maniacally flexing your flipper fingers. But there's no seven foot lurch behind you ready to top yer if yer beat his score.
Like all the best games it's simplicity itself. Six flippers are controlled by two keys. For a little ambience, press C to put your money in. (No bent lOps allowed). Punch up the number of players you want then release the ball at the pace you like to pin those posts or pot that special. As a simulation its uncanny. The flippers have the deftness and delicacy of the best of the real thing. You can jolt - but gently, or else, of course you tilt. You can catch and hold the ball for precision shooting - or flip as frantically as your reflexes allow.
You don't have to be a Tommy to enjoy this - nor, indeed, to have played pinball before. But I bet you'll be deaf, dumb and blind to any other Arcades once you're hooked on this! 9/10
