Subject: [PS] ProPinball#4 Fantastic Journey-Good News/Bad News
Date: 02 Dec 1999 07:32:22 -0600
All you ProPinall enthusiasts I have some good news to report. I spoke to
Stephen Wickes, Technical Manager at Empire Interactive (US) on Wednesday 1
December 1999. He reports that they are tentatively anticipating the US
release of the PC version of ProPinball#4 Fantastic Journey the first week of
January 2000. They are also anticipating the release of a playable PC version
demo just before Christmas. Stephens Wickes reports that you can pre-order a
copy of the PC version of ProPinball#4 Fantastic Journey for $24.95 by
contacting Empire Interactive at 1 (800) 216-9706 and asking for Stephen
Wickes. You may also obtain additional information concerning ProPinball#4
Fantastic Journey via E-Mail by writing Empire Interactive (US) at
info@empire-us.com. I am also very sorry to report that during my conversation
with Stephen Wickes, he stated that ProPinball#4 Fantastic Journey would be
the last and final release in the ProPinball series. Maybe if all the
ProPinball enthusiasts of the world would contact the folks at Empire
Interactive we can convince the fine folks that we want them to continue the
outstanding ProPinball series before the Cunning Developments Team is
disbanded.

Subject: [PS] Star Castle
Date: 16 Dec 1999 00:33:30 -0800
Hi everybody,
Do any of you remember a great '80s arcade game called Star Castle? It was
one of my favorites. You drove a little spaceship around the screen and
tried to shoot the large ship in the middle, which was surrounded by energy
rings. Little energy "bombs" broke off from the rings and chased you; and
when enough rings were destroyed, the large ship started firing at you,
too. When you succeeded in hitting the large ship, you were rewarded with
a huge implosion and explosion.
Of course, now we can play the original Star Castle with an arcade-game
emulator. However, a guy named Mark Sachs has just released his updated
version of Star Castle for the PC, and it's worth downloading. The play
area is larger, the enemies are smarter, the explosions are bigger, and you
can set the difficulty level. The sounds are great, too -- they're
enhanced versions of the originals.
And it's free (though I'm sure Mark would appreciate an email if you like
it). You can get it here:

Cheers, Andy
P.S.: My apologies if any of you are Mac users.

Subject: [PS] Pro Pinball: Hall of Fame
Date: 21 Dec 1999 09:54:35 -0700
Hi Pinball Freaks !
I started a few weeks ago, to build a Hall of Fame with the Best Players of
the Pro Pinball series and also with the people who made these great games.
You can find it on my homepage http://www.tmt.at/ante/ (pinball page).
If you also wanna be in this Hall of Fame, send me some information about
you (favourite pinball games, hobbys, country, birthday, a picture from you,
.... what you want), and I will add you to the site.
Till now, I got only complete information from a few players, but I hope I
will get them all :-) So I would be very pleased, if you could help me a
little bit !
Thanks and greetings,
Andreas 'Ante' Grabher.
