Pro Pinball Series - PC

Post by dbeeks1 »

Any of you guys play the Pro Pinball games? I play them on my MAME cab using the pinball buttons on the X-Arcade. They're great games and you can map most of the keys so there is minimal use of the keyboard. (I have to use the keyboard to exit a game)

I made disc images so I don't have to insert a cd to play and launch the games from a frontend (Ultrastyle)

I have Timeshock, but been quite awhile since played it.
Another fun game was Pinball Builder by Softkey Old--for Windows 3.1 & 95.
Probably a better table designer out by now.
One I need to re-install (and highly recommend) is Pinball Arcade by Microsoft. There are 7 tables, starting in the 30's, throughout the years. My favorite is Spirit of 76. Really wish MS would come out with another CD.

MS Pinball Arcade is great too. It even has Baffleball. Early pin games are a lot like Pachinko, or is Pachinko a lot like early pin games? :confused3:

Played that myself. Love the nudge factor.

I don't remember that set, I have had many and still have many old pinball for PC games. I will have to try to find that title.

I liked the flipperless Playboy from the PS2 collection, all plunge and nudge skills.
It is like playing cards, you build a poker hand by resting the ball in card marked spots.
