How are Extreme Pinball, Patriotic Pinball, and the reddish Saturn one?

There's a copy of Jaki Crush up on ebay right now. Doesn't show up often, so figured I'd shoot a heads up.

Thanks for the tip, Hobie! $40 is pretty steep though for a game, (pinball or not..) Is that the norm for an exclusive import?

I would also like to echo the "cool topic" sentiment.

That Win95 Space Cadet pinball game = fond memories. I also have something of a slight fetish for the NES pinball games -- love PinBot and Rollerball, think Pinball Quest was an intriguing idea. Good times. Love live the pinball wizards.

Space Cadet = good call. Man I played that a lot.

Been playing a lot of Zen's Pinball FX 2 on 360! I'd love to add some of my fellow racketeers for score comparisons and friendly competition..
What's your gamertag, people??

Extreme Pinball makes a nice coaster. That's about it. The actual game is pathetic

Haven't played Patriotic Pinball yet

I've also have one of these since I was a wee one:

How did I miss THIS thread? I had the Tiger Pinball too! Center target sound! DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO!!!!!!

While nothing beats the real thing, I've enjoyed these video adaptations over the years:

Video Pinball (Atari 2600) -- The first and still great. Once you figured out how to pwn the left rollover for serious points -- and making sure to get the extra ball too -- nothing could stop you

Pinball (NES) -- Simple -- but FUN! Your game could go on forever if you got the center post on the bottom screen

Pinball Quest (NES) -- Forget the other tables -- you all went for the RPG mode didn't ya?

Pin-BOT (NES) -- What many people might not know is that getting over 10,000,000 is considered "beating" the game (which I did) and you get a full credits roll upon game completion.

The DICE/21st Century games (PC/SNES/elsewhere) Before the Battlefield series, Digital Illusions was known for once thing -- PINBALL. In Pinball Dreams, Fantasies, Illusions, Worlds, and many others. Had the Pinball Dreams 1 & 2 on PC CD -- SWEET collection. SNES port of PD1 was decent too. HG101 has a great write up on them at http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/21stpi ... inball.htm

Super Pinball - Beyond the Mask (SNES) -- Graphics were a bit muddy and tables were kind of uninspired, but it was still a lot of fun!

Sonic Spinball (Genesis) Many thought it was filler, but to me, it was FUN.

Revenge of the Gator (GB) HELL YES -- played that one on the SNES Super Game Boy using the D-2 color palette -- GOOD TIMES

3D Pinball (PC) -- From Sierra! I loved the Creep Night/Haunted tables!

Hoping to (finally) do the Crush series when it comes up on Together Retro!

I was actually thinking it was time for another class picture for this thread. Maybe this weekend.
