stonebro: Ehm.
Does this pinball game consist of only one board?
And similar for the other pinball games to come from this publisher?
I'm not paying $5.99 for a single virtual pinball board.

1 board, but it easily has more to it than a dozen half-decent boards combined. Read the review here, you could play this board for months and still not see half of what it has to offer.

It's ranked as the #1 pinball game in their rankings section, even above pinball fantasies @ #4.
So your loss.

I'm surprised Slam Tilt got in at #8, I always thought it better than Fantasies. I suppose if you look past the fancier graphics and music there is a game play mechanic I'm not getting.
Sweet more pinball always good. Think i bought this a long long time ago going o buy again cheers :)
Empire and GOG, you are AWESOME.
Timeshock is my favourite computer pinball table ever. I have my CD, but the redbook audio is a pain nowadays, so I do believe I may buy it again.

That's because you have no idea how incredible this table is.
If you like pinball, Timeshock for $6 should be an absolute no-brainer purchase.
And Big Race USA is on the way as well? Fantastic!
I love pinball games and have since I was playing Dreams on my Amiga, 13-14 years ago.
Shame there's so very very few of them. It appears I've missed a gem, so I'll pick this up sometime. Heck, I used to play the SpaceBalls shit that came with Windows for hours ...
I've played computer pinball games ever since Night Mission Pinball on the commodore 64. Played through The Pinball Dreams/Fantasies/Slam Tilt games. Played just about everything else.
The Pro Pinball series is BY FAR the greatest Computer pinball series ever made, and Timeshock is the greatest of them.
I still have the originals somewhere. Had to rebuy the windows XP versions a few years ago to keep playing. The thing that always bothered me was having to have the CD in the drive to play. (Don't like to fuss with questionable solutions.) This release is like a dream come true. Now I can play this anywhere I want. This'll be perfect for my 10" netbook.
To those who think "Oh but there's only one table": Each table here is deeper in complexity and strategy and timing than dozens of tables of any of the other packages put together. It doesn't get any better than the four games in this series.
