I've tried my best to order it legitimately, but no one officially connected with the game has felt it necessary to answer my mail. Thanks! Cheers, A.

I finally got a copy of Devil's Island today. For $9.95 (US), I downloaded the---uh, "Download Version" from RegNow. I feel so... legitimate. :?) For some reason I was under the impression that DI was a third Slamtilt Resurrection table. But of course it's a sequel to Balls of Steel, and, I presume, uses the same engine. That was a bit of a letdown, as I understand ST:R is better quality. Having been spoiled by Pro Pinball's excellent "arcade" view, it'd been a while since I'd played an overhead (okay, nearly-overhead) game. I'd forgotten how annoying Scrolling view could be. Trying to keep track of the ball made me carsick. However, most of that was due to not being familiar with the table. After squinting at Fixed view for a while, I found I could tolerate Scrolling better. Too bad Fixed view is so tiny. I couldn't help remembering those cool rotating (horizontal/vertical) monitors they used to make for Macs. How come they never made it to the PC world? (Even if all you did was word processing...) I found it odd that the game had only two resolutions: 800x600 (next-to-lowest), and 1600x1200 (CAD/CAM territory). My Matrox G400 card, with "only" 32MB RAM, tops out at 1280x1024. So I was stuck with the lower res. I can understand that the Download Version's size could restrict them to two res's---but why not 1024x768, or at least 1280x960, which a LOT more people could handle? (Did people actually HAVE 1600x1200 cards back when DI came out?) Weird. To round out my complaints: In Scrolling view, I sure wouldn't have chosen to give up a full 1/6th of the screen for that dot-matrix display. Why didn't they just keep the score in a corner, and make the dot-matrix appear when a feature is activated---i.e., while the ball is held, and you don't need to see the bottom of the field anyway? Go figure. Despite all my grumbling, it's a decent game---certainly better than a lot of them out there. (No need to mention names, but... Sierra.) I'm still hoping to get hold of ST:R someday, though it might take a trip to Poland. :?) Meanwhile, if anyone spots it on an FTP that is actually accessible, maybe you'll let me know.

From his writing, I'd guess they might actually be in Poland, where ST:R was written. - - - - - Hi Brightstar guys, Thanks for your reply. No one else connected with the game---that is, those I could find---felt it necessary to answer me. :?( Search engines are not really that, they only show sites which 'support' the search engine these days, so sites like ours don't appear. Of course we run a mail order dept. We can send you a copy of STR Pinball for $30 Canadian, plus postage and packing if your interested. Please check out our site www.Brightstargames.com for further details. Call me dense, but I've looked around your entire site (from the menus at the top, at least), and can't find a thing about ordering anything. Mind being more specific? (Their reply:) Well, our e-commerce part of the site is there but not yet visible due to security issues, we suspect a some e-commerce sites are all too easy for a would be fraudster to extract dredit card details etc, so we won't go on line until where happy with the security aspect. I the meantime you can still order by email, and snail mail if you like. - - - - - [Andy again] So there you go. I don't know how much $30 Canadian translates into $US, but you can bet it's considerably cheaper. If you've never seen the game, checkout the impressive screenshots at www.pcpinball.com Cheers, A. --=====================_9027259==_.ALT Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" <html> Okay, regarding Slamtilt Resurrection: Here are excerpts from an e-exchange I just had with Brightstar, the game's distributor (which I finally tracked down, no help from the major US search engines, thank you).

Brightstar games has just started an online order page, on their site at www.brightstargames.com If you're interested, don't judge the game by the sucky graphic on their STR page. Check out the review and screenshots on Tower of Pin (www.pcpinball.com) Unfortunately, Brightstar want 15 pounds for it (that's, like, $30 Canadian). More than I can afford. Thought I'd let you know, though. Cheers, Andy [ To quit the Pinball Simulation mailing list, send the message ] [ "unsubscribe pinsim" (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ]
