My favourite ever pinball game is Psycho Pinball, with its clever little mini-games, linked tables (go down a hole on this table, end up on another!) and focus on player ability – if you didn’t bash that button hard enough, that ball was going nowhere. This is clearly nuts, and whoever thought it would be a good idea needs to be sat down and given a sharp talking-to. Pressing ‘enter’ to launch it will do so, but you won’t see it appear until it’s actually gone up and out of the chute. You read that correctly: there is no ball. But the worst thing is the ball launch itself – the ball isn’t actually there. For me the graphics on the far left-hand side of the screen were a bit warped and once I’d noticed I couldn’t stop noticing it. 136151, 203 Ruiner Pinball 192 Rumble Roses 81 RuneScape 138 RuneScape 3 139 S Sailor. The physics, while good, are not perfect, and sometimes a ball will fly off a flipper when you barely tapped the key. There are also some niggles which niggle you more the more you play.

The opening of the game puts you in a club of some sort with a dartboard next to the pinball table, but you can’t interact with anything – this bit could have been like the very good Pool Paradise and is an unforgivably wasted opportunity. Up to 4 players can tackle 4 difficulty levels on one PC - and you can compare your scores with players the world over in the official Dream Pinball 3D Rankings List Key features 6 pinball machines, each with a different theme: Knight Tournament, Monstercastle, Underwater World, Dino Wars, Spinning Rotors and the Fantasy pinball. There are no twisty quirks you couldn’t possibly have in reality, nothing else to do, no extra content. Very realistic this might be, but this is a PC game after all, so what can it offer over and above? Nothing. This affects the ball’s behaviour in various ways, although it’s not as marked as the developers would like you to think. The game’s ‘gimmick’, as all pinball games must have, is that from time to time you get a different ball made out of a different material – namely gold, wood, ivory and marble. The physics are pretty solid too, and the ball(s) whizz around like someone has applied engine oil.

It looks, for all the world, exactly like what you would find on the real thing. There are six tables, which become increasingly cluttered with obstacles and scenery until you’ve got a giant helicopter in the middle of one and a second table level on the last. Graphically it’s wonderful – you’ll be too busy at first trying to work out what the heck you should be doing and trying to keep the ball on the table, but after a while you’ll notice the little details, like the reflections off the glass and the lovely ‘flare’ effects when you hit certain targets. Dream Pinball 3D (what a very mid-90s title) has them in abundance. I’m probably a sucker for flashy lights and shiny things.
If there was some kind of award for making large ball-bearings disappear at speed, I would win hands-down. It’s less ‘lost balls’ and more ‘lost marbles’. And it will only be a few minutes, for I not only love it but am completely, categorically useless. If I’m walking past an arcade I’ll generally find the table with the most ridiculous-looking construction and try my luck for a few minutes. I’ve owned various virtual tables from the day that I played Pinball Dreams on a friend’s Amiga and became hooked. Add to that incredible acoustics, state of the art particle technology, HDRI and multilayer 3D sound, realistic tilt function and motion blur effects, and you have the best pinball experience available on the PC that can even be enjoyed by laptops and less powerful non-gaming computers.I love pinball. We did not skimp on the technology with this game as there are six different style balls, made of different materials, that not only look different, but whose ballistic characteristics will affect the very rolling behaviour of each one of them. This was the thinking behind the development of the newest pinball sensation to hit the PC - Dream Pinball 3D - with its' 6 cutting edge tables that are beckoning you to try your luck.
A great pinball game should not only be amazing from the start, but should continue to be entertaining every time you play it.
