Eight Ball Deluxe Amtex grade

Reviewed: 1996 

- The pinball

A very boring game. For the first it's VGA, second it has a boring layout, third it has very little to do... BUT! it is based on that real pinball game called 8Ball Deluxe, so this is something for those of you who like the real one. If you haven't played the real, this game is absolutely nothing to have.


- The tables

- Eight Ball Deluxe

This is the pinballs only table. The layout of the table is very ugly, to be honest. The table is filled with too big things, which make it hard to do anything. The bumpers for example take a quarter of the screen (almost). Not that it matters, since there is very little to do on this table, open gates, light 8 lamps, and balls. It's hard to describe, but if you try the game, or a demo of it, you'll notice that there is only about one or two main things to do. The tables theme is 8Ball (if you didn't guess it), and that is pool. You supposed to light and fulfill what's done in the real pool game, only difference is that you light the 8 balls instead of shoot them. The tables layout, also makes it extremely easy for the ball to get lost. Not for that you with some skills can avoid it, I'm just meaning, that it all to easy happens. And once again it is so ugly...


- The feeling

Feeling is just ok, nothing more, it could have been better. The tables corny layout infects on the feeling since aiming is pretty hard with all the bug things that are blocking the way.


- The whole

Nothing all worth to get, unless to fill a collection or if you have played the real statement and just have to try the PC one.. Many fans of the real Eight Ball Deluxe pinball love this simulation of it and I can understand that, but as a pinball simulation or game it is really not much.
