Re: Best Pinball game?

I love both Wild West Pinball and The Deep. Both are from the same company and have the same 3d look. There is a free version of Wild West Pinball which gives you 1 ball rather than the usual 4.

Re: Best Pinball game?

Also, Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies are great if you loved them back in the day. Has to be said though, their pinball physics doesn't feel anywhere near as good as in Wild West and The Deep, so it's awkward swapping between the games.


I've been playing a bit of Undead Attack, that's pretty good fun. I'd avoid Monster Pinball if I were you, it's well presented but the physics feel awful, nothing like pinball at all. Freeballin' suffers in the same vein, crap physics.

Re: Best Pinball game?

If only someone could make a port of the Megadrive's Devil's Crash or Dragon's Fury as it was called in Japan. That would be awesome.
The best console based pinball game ever with a table that's 3/4 screens high, loads of bonus stages and fantastic music.

Just check Y o u T u b e if you don't believe me!!

[Dunno if I can provide a Y o u T u b e link without getting in trouble]
