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.

Pinball
PinballPinball is a pinball simulation for one or two players. You begin the game with five balls, and need to score as many points as possible by hitting the ball into the various bumpers and targets on the pinball table. The pinball table consists of three different screens, each with a different layout and level of difficulty. To advance from one screen to the next, you need to use a single ball to hit several targets and then get the ball into a white cup that appears. If you are on the second or third screen and the ball falls off the bottom, you will be back to the lower screen; if the ball falls off the bottom screen you will lose that ball. The game ends when all five balls have been lost.
