Subject: [PS] It's me---the last living human to get Devil's Island

Yo guys,

This is probably old stuff to all of you, but...

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.

Cheers,  Andy

Subject: [PS] Speakeasy and Harlem Globetrotter

Not sure if anyone remembers harlem Globetrotter, but I expect that this
doesnt exist in pin~sim world, but does anyone know if Speakeasy, a Bally

Does a list of all pin~sims exist anywhere ??

60MB!  That's interesting... the Download Version is only 19MB.  Wonder
what they left out?  The middle resolutions, I guess.  :?)  Thanks for the
offer, really---but considering the game's average quality, I think I can
get by with this version.

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).  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.

Resurrection.  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

Subject: [PS] Palm pinball??

Saw this in a shareware e-bulletin tonight, and thought it might tickle you
guys.

Dragon Hunter Pinball- :) :) :) :)
PalmOS 2.0 or later (File Size-43kb)

Read the full review and download the software:
http://www.rocketdownload.com/details/palm/DragonHunterPinball.htm

This download offers an entertaining pinball game with a distinct
medieval flavor. Great for most versions of Palm, Dragon Hunter
Pinball features pleasing graphics and enjoyable gameplay. As the
story goes, you are a crazed adventurer out to hunt a dragon in
its lair. The objective to defeat the dragon, score points and
earn the title of "Expert Dragon Hunter." In addition to
traditional pinball gameplay, you'll be able to win bonuses and
special abilities to aid you in your quest.

Dragon Hunter Pinball has you use the hard buttons on your Palm to
control the game. The shooter is controlled by the Up/Down
buttons, while the Address and To Do buttons will work both
flippers. However, you can also push the Dates and Memo buttons to
control the left and right flippers, respectively.

By lighting the three stars at the top of the board, the game will
place shields in the left and right gutters to keep your ball in
play. You'll also receive weapons, which basically serve as score
multipliers. There are also hidden entrances that, if found, can
affect the layout of the board. You'll also be able to score free
balls after every certain number of points. SHAREWARE

Reply to:  [e-mail]

I found your site by way of a search engine, but I am looking to find just
the program for the 3D Pinball game called Space Cadet that was created by
Maxis for Microsoft and was included in Windows 95-98 plus packs. I somehow
missed out on this in my version of the software (which oddly enough has
Freecell and the others...just no Pinball.)
If you have info on where I might download this little pinball program,
please reply and I will be very greatful!
Thank you for your time!

This game is an insult to pinball and the human race.  I've played better =
pinball with a piece of plywood, a marble, and some wire brads!=20

Comp USA now has a three pack of of Empire pinball games for about $10.00.

Pure wonder. Pure passion. Pure Pinball. It's a whole new ball game.

The true spirit of pinball has been captured. Pure Pinball is the
definitive next-generation flipper fest extravaganza, featuring
real-time 3D table designs powered by hundreds of thousands of polygons!

With super-responsive flipper control and ball movement, Pure Pinball
gives players the feeling of experiencing full size pinball machines on
hand. Featuring the Excessive Speed, World War, and Runaway Train
pinball tables, Pure Pinball delivers an unprecedented level of
silver-ball realism, making it the state-of-the-art computer pinball
simulation of all time.

Game Features
* Awesome table architecture visualized in real-time 3D resulting in
jaw-dropping graphics; each table comes alive powered by more than
100,000 real-time rendered polygons.

* Maximum flipper control with a multi-ball capable physics engine,
calculating ball movement more than 1500 times per second.

* Multiple camera setups only made possible through real-time 3D
graphics; view the pinball tables in complete overview, ball close-up,
ball follow, or traditional scrolling style.

* Use of vertex shaders allow for over-the-top ball reflections and
impressive metal surfaces on table elements.

* Advanced T&L technology enable amazing special FX including metallic
surface reflections, glass mirroring, and decorative flare and
backlights.

Tables and Modes
Pure Pinball includes three original tables, each featuring multiple
flippers, unique special modes, and distinct visual themes;

* Excessive Speed --- Novice, Advanced, Expert, and Veteran
* World War --- Rescue, Defend, Assault, Destroy, and Capture
* Runaway Train --- Water, Steam, Wood, Fire, Derail, and Crash.

A provisional website featuring screenshots and a trailer of the
Excessive Speed table is available at http://www.purepinball.com

Pure Pinball is scheduled for release on PC across Europe and North
America in Q2 2003. Info on SRP and distribution partners to follow
shortly. Rating pending.
