- The pinball

This pinball has a multitable future, the point is to unlock a door on each table and advance forward. There isn't really anything good in the pinball, except maybe the fact that its old (I guess you sometimes can see that as a positive thing). The tables are all to small for you to be able to do anything skilled, you are usually just lucky when you hit the right thing. All of the tables are non scrolling, fitted to the screen (so to speak). It is in VGA. I'm still curious about who made this pinball, there is no mention of the author in it, no readme files, etc. If anyone knows who made it please mail me! (as you can notice above I finally found out what company made it, a company called Loriciel!)


- The tables

The tables are a bit more then half the screen, the layout is not even near good. I must say the tables have their charm (the old VGA graphics) the big flippers... In all this pinball is only about hitting some drop targets to open a door, not especially fun after the first table.


- The feeling

As I mentioned the tables are to small to give you any feel of the feeling (!). The ball goes everywhere after you shoot it, it is very hard to control it. The feeling in the ball is there even tough it is not good all the way trough. And trying to aim is no idea, the ball goes at a random where you try to get it.


- The whole

Not a game I recommend, not even if you are looking for a good old classic. Try Protec instead, it is at least a fun and kind a good classic old game.
