I'm addicted to Pokemon Pinball! I've been a closet Pokemon fan for about 2 years now, (I'm closing in on 30 years old,) and this game combines what I love about Nintendo/HAL's series with what I love about pinball!

Re: Video Pinball
Anyone have the Pinball Dreams/Fantasies port for the PSP? They are PSP minis priced at $7 each. Ports of the old Amiga games.
Re: Video Pinball
I've really enjoyed Pokemon Pinball on the GBA, too. I picked it up without a manual, but have finally figured out the rule set - and it is excellent. It's my only Pokemon game at this point - I was a little old for Pokemon to get it's hooks on me when it exploded on the scene. I'm 35 now. Yes, I have the strangest urge to catch them all.Rurouni_Fencer wrote:I'm addicted to Pokemon Pinball!

Re: Video Pinball
I've also got Pokemon Pinball on the GBA on order from eBay and can't wait for it to get here! Out of the two, I definitely like the GBA once the best!c0wb0y wrote:I've really enjoyed Pokemon Pinball on the GBA, too.

Re: Video Pinball
I've been playing this off and on this week.
It has a really bizarre vibe and it's an odd take on Lovecraft, but the physics and tables are fairly solid. Arguably the best pinball I've played on the Saturn...

^Lovecraftian pinball? That's awesome.
dsh, now that I have a PS2 I think there's a lot more options for me pinball-wise eh?

You had me at Lovecraft and pinball!
Re: Video Pinball
I've been playing the Marvel tables and having a good time! Spiderman seems the most accessible. I really like Blade's day/night dynamic, but the rules don't make sense yet. I wish they had instructions similar to the Williams and Gottlieb collections' narrator. Iron Man is a tough table for me.Rurouni_Fencer wrote:Anybody check out the new Marvel tables that came to FX2 yet? (They should be out on PS3 as of this post, as well!)
They're all excellently crafted, but my favorites are Wolverine's table and Blade's! I love the change from night to day on Blade's, not to mention the cool music in the background (as important a part of a pinball game as it is to shmups!)
Also gotta appreciate the love they give to the lesser known villains of the Marvel universe, (I'm lookin' at you Silver Samurai!)
I ended up buying the launch tables from Pinball FX2 last week, but haven't invested much time into it yet. Pasha reminds me of Tales of the Arabian Nights - a good thing in my book.
I picked up Revenge of the Gator (GBC) just before the Holidays based on discussion in this thread. It's been a solid vid pin game also. It is similar to Kirby Pinball, but without the opportunity to save your ball on a drain. Also, it seems to lack the ability to nudge the table.
Has anyone mentioned Crue Ball yet for the Genesis? It's not great, but the chip-tune versions of Crue songs was pretty funny.

you mean GB. It was never released for GBC.c0wb0y wrote: I picked up Revenge of the Gator (GBC)
Re: Video Pinball
I stand corrected. It appears to look like it has color. I played it on my GBA - does that add color to GB games? Am I going crazy?noiseredux wrote:you mean GB. It was never released for GBC.c0wb0y wrote: I picked up Revenge of the Gator (GBC)
