Adventure Pinball: Forgotten Island (2001)

by Digital Extremes, Electronic Arts
Genres:Pinball
Themes:Comedy
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:It starts when you receive a note and map from your long lost grandfather, along with the promise of the adventure of a lifetime. You'll encounter dinosaurs, volcanoes, and man-eating sharks, as well as a tribe of cavemen to save. Your mission is to save the Forgotten Island. There are 9 interconnected tables included for you to conquer. They have to be unlocked during the game and offer 2 or 3 settings per table. In comparison to most other pinball simulations the goals on a table are mostly not to get a high score but to solve missions like chasing away sharks. Also unusual are the 3D graphics: instead of a static top-down view the camera follows the pinball ball.Show more

Please GOG, make this happen. This is one of the most fun and atmospheric pinball games from the early 2000's. Made in the first Unreal engine, this game is a dinosaur/cavemen themed pinball adventure game with excellent mechanics and amazing music. Getting it to run on modern systems is very difficult, and fans of this game will tell you: This needs to be preserved. Oh, and if this happens.... There is a bonus stage that was only available as an online download back in the day, a monkey themed extra table. Would be nice to see that included too. I still have it and I'm never getting rid of those files, given that it's not easy to find anymore.

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!

Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire
Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & SapphirePokemon Pinball has all the features you'd demand of a pinball game, including bonus tables, lots of bumpers and ways to score massive points. As with your standard videogame pinball game, the left button on the D-pad and the A-button control the flippers with the R/L triggers used to shake the table. The catch here is that everything is themed in Pokemon. Instead of a ball, you make use of a Pokeball. Instead of standard bumpers, you're hitting the Pokeball against other Pokemon, and the ultimate goal is of course to "catch 'em all". The game features 200 Pokemon, two main tables, and link cable support.
