The Machine: Bride of Pin*Bot™ (1991): From the opening skill shot the quest is to bring the Bride to life with a sequence of shots up the Shuttle Ramp to first give her speech, then sight, and a dazzling, heart beating grand finale with the chance to join the Billionaire’s Club – the largest single scoring feature in pinball history. Ripleys Believe it or Not® (2004): The goal was to make a pinball machine that appeals to the casual player as well as the expert, which is accomplished through a special feature aptly entitled “Believe it or Not.” This multi-level rule enables the beginning player to achieve some of the game’s goals early on and earn frequent multi-ball modes, while allowing the more advanced player to extend their opportunities through better play. Add to this trolls that pop up from under the playfield and able assists from Merlin’s magic, this is one pinball table fit for a king (or even a queen). Medieval Madness™ (1997): Incorporating some wonderful humour within the game theme and overall game play, there’s something for everyone with a playfield that features damsels needing to be rescued from a dragon, peasants revolting, catapults to be launched to storm a fully animated castle that quivers and shakes once the drawbridge has been lowered. Features include a moving flying saucer in the middle of the playfield, dancing Martians and a functioning strobe light. Rising and disappearing below the playfield are a jet bumper and a wise-cracking Ringmaster that taunts the player throughout various modes.Īttack From Mars™ (1995): With its open playfield and easy to understand rules, this table is a blast to play.

PS3 PINBALL ARCADE PS4
Skill ShotsThe PC version of Pinball Arcade looks good, but the PS4 looks downright stunning with nearly photo-realistic detail and flawless frame rate. The downside is that the assortment leans towards newer boards with lots of bells and whistles, and neglects vintage classics from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

New tables are being added all the time based on public demand. Make sure you do what I do and toggle the in-game room light to low so you can really enjoy its amazing light effects. For my money, though, the most spectacular continues to be Medieval Madness. Play There’s a wide assortment of memorable tables ranging from licensed tie-ins like Star Trek: The Next Generation, Twilight Zone, and Elvira and The Party Monsters to milestones for the genre like Black Hole, the first pinball game to charge 50 cents and feature an extra inverted playing field.
