Tables:

Pinball is an excellent pinball game from Maxis, a company best known for Sim games. The game will be familiar to anyone who has the Microsoft's Plus! Windows 95 companion pack, since one of the tables - Space Cadet - was included there as a bonus. Pinball Arcade by FarSight Studios features exact recreations of the all-time greatest pinball tables from Stern Pinball® and Gottlieb® together in one game. Every flipper, bumper, sound effect, and display pixel has been painstakingly emulated in astonishing detail.

Space Cadet, Skulduggery, Dragon's Keep

Multi-table package with three themes.Space Cadet originally came with the Microsoft Plus! companion for Windows 95 andFull Tilt! initially was only available for Windows 95. This new multi-platformrelease proves that it doesn't require Windows 95 to show off your computer (I believeSpace Cadet was intended to demonstrate Windows 95's exclusive capabilities). The Windows 3.1 version runs as smooth and fast as the Windows 95 one. Full Tilt!uses a non-scrolling 3D view and supports resolutions up to 1024x768. Fast, pounding,modern-style tables with ramps, many worthwhile and challenging modes, multiballs,magnet fields and realistic sound effects including background music and speech(latter two tables only). Great ball physics and smooth handling. Configurable keyswith nudges for left, right and up; no ThrustMaster support (except for Windows95, which I couldn't verify). Skulduggery and Dragon's Keep distinguish themselvesfrom the slightly older Space Cadet. Space Cadet has unproportionally big flippersand overuses drop and letter targets. Score display not very attractive, a basic imageand some numbers pasted in, but Skulduggery and Dragon's Keep use it for dot-matrix imagery.Space Cadet sports a clear layout, the other two appear somewhat crowded at the top(a 2D view would be helpful for clarification but the single 3D view gives thegame more integrity). Space Cadet seems too generous with free balls and shoot-againsmaking gameplay more into an excercise in patience than a mean hunt for higherscores. Not so Skulduggery and Dragon's Keep: the speed and power of these twotables require all of your skills and wits. You can shoot the ball up with theflippers just as hard as it comes down from various targets. I like that consistency.Table rules are available in the online help only and include a labeled pictureof each table. I still would like a printed manual but I guess you can keep ahelp window open on your desktop while you learn the tables. The plunger can onlybe moved when the ball is in place - a slight annoyance. The nudges seem ratherineffective and Skulduggery and Dragon's Keep are hard to defend against drains,the lack of a ball saver during multiball can spoil the fun a bit, too.I am disappointed in the highscore table which uses plain Windows dialogueboxes for entry and display. The scores are saved in a .INI file and could betampered with. Full Tilt! is a state-of-the-art non-scrolling 3D package thatfalls short only in a few puritanical areas. I would like to see a highscorecontest to increase the replay value.
