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.

Baby Pac-Man
Baby Pac-ManBaby Pac-Man is a hybrid arcade/pinball game released by Bally Midway on October 11, 1982. The cabinet consists of a 13-inch video screen seated above an elevated horizontal pinball game, and the combination fits into roughly the same size space as an upright arcade machine. The development of Baby Pac-Man was not authorized by Namco. It was designed and released entirely by Bally-Midway (as were Pac-Man Plus, Jr. Pac-Man, and Professor Pac-Man), which eventually led to Namco canceling its relationship with Bally-Midway. 7,000 units were produced.

Extreme Pinball
Extreme PinballExtreme Pinball was Epic's successor to their hit pinball game Epic Pinball. It contains four pinball tables: Rock Fantasy, Medieval Knights, Urban Chaos, and Monkey Mayhem, each with a different theme. Compared to Epic Pinball, it has a larger, 320x400 resolution, as well as taller tables, both allowing for more objects. It also has a typical Dot Matrix Display where the scoreboard shows 3D-rendered animations as well. The controls are more sensitive with a faster ball. This is less true to real pinball gameplay, but it speeds up the game's pace and gives more power to the player to influence the movement.

Pinball Quest
Pinball QuestDon't let the name fool you - Pinball Quest is much more than video pinball. In fact, it's the first-ever multi-screen fantasy in a pinball format! Every move you make tells a story; every shot takes you another step closer in your quest to rescue the captive princess of the castle. Along the way you'll meet ghosts, goblins, witches and demons, in an endless labyrinth of treacherous passages and deadly doorways. It takes a fearless heart and a fast mind to conquer Pinball Quest. It also takes the skills of a true pinball wizard... which you can hone on the three other video pinball games included on this cartridge! So before you pour any more money into your NES library, get the one title that's a library all by itself! No matter how hard you try, you can't get enough of Pinball Quest!
