Adventure Pinball: Forgotten Island

Adventure Pinball: Forgotten Island (2001)

by Digital Extremes, Electronic Arts
Genres:Pinball
Themes:Comedy
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:It starts when you receive a note and map from your long lost grandfather, along with the promise of the adventure of a lifetime. You'll encounter dinosaurs, volcanoes, and man-eating sharks, as well as a tribe of cavemen to save. Your mission is to save the Forgotten Island. There are 9 interconnected tables included for you to conquer. They have to be unlocked during the game and offer 2 or 3 settings per table. In comparison to most other pinball simulations the goals on a table are mostly not to get a high score but to solve missions like chasing away sharks. Also unusual are the 3D graphics: instead of a static top-down view the camera follows the pinball ball.Show more

Please GOG, make this happen. This is one of the most fun and atmospheric pinball games from the early 2000's. Made in the first Unreal engine, this game is a dinosaur/cavemen themed pinball adventure game with excellent mechanics and amazing music. Getting it to run on modern systems is very difficult, and fans of this game will tell you: This needs to be preserved. Oh, and if this happens.... There is a bonus stage that was only available as an online download back in the day, a monkey themed extra table. Would be nice to see that included too. I still have it and I'm never getting rid of those files, given that it's not easy to find anymore.

Such a fun pinball game, very creative. I loved playing it with my dad and my sister! Still to this day ,from time to time, we remember the funny voice over yelling "LAVA BALL"!
I played it when I was a kid, the ambient sounds and the balls were very addictive, it's a wonder I remembered the name of this game. I'm gonna buy this one as soon as it is available :)

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.

Senran Kagura Peach Ball
Senran Kagura Peach BallSenran Kagura Peach Ball: Clothes shredding brawlers, rhythmic cooking contests, sunny water gun fights or massage therapy – what’s left for the student shinobi of Senran Kagura to do? 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. With customizable tables, special minigames, a story mode, and fan-favorite additional modes including diorama mode and the dressing room, Senran Kagura Peach Ball is set to be one of the hottest pinball games yet.

Pokémon Pinball
Pokémon PinballThere are two tables in the game, red and blue. Each table has its own details and gameplay elements. Each table has different "locations" that you play, which determine which Pokémon are available for capture. A subset of available locations are displayed slot-machine style in the beginning of a game, and pressing A will select your starting location and launch the first ball into play. After that, each table has its own mechanism for advancing to the next location, including the locations not available at the start of the game. "Catch Mode," when activated, starts a 2 minute window of opportunity where you can attempt to capture a Pokémon. Once you activate "catch mode," you must hit the pop bumpers 6 times. Each hit unlocks 1/6 of an image of the Pokémon currently up for capture. Once the image is complete, the Pokémon appears on the table, where it must be hit 4 times with the ball to capture it. "Evolution Mode," when activated, starts a 2 minute window of opportunity where you select a captured Pokémon (from the current game in progress only) and attempt to evolve it into another form. This is the only way to add the evolved form to your Pokédex. Once you select a Pokémon, you must hit targets on the playfield. There are up to 6 targets, but only 3 of them have items in them you need to evolve a Pokémon. The others create a time-wasting sequence before you can hit targets again. If you hit a target with an item, the item appears on the playfield and must be collected with the ball. Once you've collected 3 items, the hole in the center of the board opens up. Sinking the ball in the hole successfully evolves the Pokémon.
