Take a break Pinball
a.k.a Dynamix Pinball
Sierra grade

Reviewed: 1997 

- The pinball

The game is a windows game, its 2D non scrolling, just like Full Tilt and Sport Pinball. All tables are based on some old classic games like Space Quest and Willy Beamish. That is almost the only thing that makes it worth trying, the game has very bad feeling and so.... But still its kind a fun to play.


- The tables

- Draxon, level 1,2

I don't know what game these two tables are based on, but the theme in both of them is some space thing where you are supposed to defeat Draxon (I think).

- Flipped out Willy

Willy Beamish was a great adventure game when it came, and this table is of course based on that game.

- Larry's big score

Be larry, score!!!. Leasuire suit larry strikes again, try to become something else but a leasuire suit on this table.

- Planet Pinball, level 2/3

Roger Wilco from Space Quest has his big part in this table. You do a mix of stuff that has more or less with the game to do

- Quest for Daventry

Sierras game Kings Quest which has become something of a classic is what this table is about. You have to save Daventry.


- The feeling

The feeling is not the best, the ball accelerate, bounce and is hard to aim with. You are able to adjust the ball speed, and if you set the speed to fast the ball goes smooth and nice. If you donut the ball flickers when it goes over the table. The tilting is extremely oversensitive (the key config is the strangest I've seen, ctrl+left/right shift). All this leads to the fact that the feeling is bad, but not the worst since you still can play the game and aim a little.


- The whole

A game that because of the feeling and table layout only gets a "2". If the graphics, layout, and feeling had been better the game would have been given a "3" since the table layout's still is fun, but not like you get stuck in front of it for hours. If you want a windows style pinball you might want to take a look at Crystal Caliburn or Full Tilt! instead.
