- The pinball

Another 2D scrolling game, It has nothing new in it, just the same as most other 2D pinballs. There is nothing bad about the game, nice layout, good feeling and so on. It also has 6 different resolutions, usual VGA modes and Super VGA modes. The super VGA mode is nice and gives you the table in the "half screen mode" with just a little scrolling (that is good if you like to play so) and you can also get the table "lying" across the screen. Few games support that screen mode where the table "lie" across the screen.


- The tables

- Desert Run

The packs most fun table, good layout and good graphics. The goal is of course to race with your car around the desert. There is much to do and all is very challenging, you can get to play a small extra game where you race a car at the bottom "score bar". In all there is much to do and this table will last long for you.


Dream Factory

As a movie director you must organize your actors and go to all important parties in Hollywood. Your goal is to win that golden thing called an Oscar. The table is fun and the layout is pretty good.


Aquatic Adventure

When you start the table it says "Welcome to the deep", because this table is built up on exploring the deep. It's the old hunt for treasures, submarines and octopuses. It's fun to play but not very ordinary, but you will probably like it (I kind a did since it had its fun parts).


Balls N' Bats

If you are a addict of Baseball, then this table will for sure be fun. If you are not you might like it but I know I didn't find it very exiting. Everything is based on baseball and I mean everything, the tables is done very good compared to other sport tables that exist.


- The feeling I haven't got much to say about the feeling, it actually is good without any ordinary mistakes.


- The whole Sad to say this table is extremely ordinary, nothing is new. It has good feeling good tables and is fun to play. But it is nothing new and wont get a "4" in grade because even though everything in it is good, to much is missing and it don't have that thing that makes a pinball good (atmosphere, that thing that makes you play a lot). If a 2D scrolling game is to be good it must! have something revolting in the layout. For example look at Psycho Pinball, it had great feeling and the layout was of the kind you just loved too play, this game also have that but not in the same way. I say that this game is just as good as Extreme Pinball, which also was good but was to usual and also lacked way to much in the table themes. If you have played Extreme and Psycho you will notice the difference between them even though they both are 2d and good feeling.
