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.

Oh man! This was a time waster for me and I really loved this game! Can be played "history mode" where you can play all the 3 tables in the same game or you can play each table individually. It will need some fixing because it was made for low resolution screens (lower than 1024x768), but the sounds, the annoucer, the action, the speed and the fun make this pinball game totally worth it!
This is one of the computer games that took up a lot of my childhood. I would do extra work around the house to earn "computer time" to play this game. I would love to play this again with my kids one day.
Those games also need your vote!

Well, there’s always pinball! However, Haruka’s “experiments”, conveniently located in the local arcade, have once again caused havoc for the girls. This time her concoction has mentally turned some of her fellow shinobi into animals and the only way to reverse the effects is by using the mystical Peach Ball, which just so happens to fit perfectly in a pinball machine. Plunge into this new adventure and flip, bump, spin, or ricochet the Peach Ball onto the confused shinobi to return them to their normal selves.

Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire
Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & SapphirePokemon Pinball has all the features you'd demand of a pinball game, including bonus tables, lots of bumpers and ways to score massive points. As with your standard videogame pinball game, the left button on the D-pad and the A-button control the flippers with the R/L triggers used to shake the table. The catch here is that everything is themed in Pokemon. Instead of a ball, you make use of a Pokeball. Instead of standard bumpers, you're hitting the Pokeball against other Pokemon, and the ultimate goal is of course to "catch 'em all". The game features 200 Pokemon, two main tables, and link cable support.
