PC Spiel Pinball
a.k.a PCS Pinball
PCS Software grade

Reviewed: 1997 

- The pinball

A very lowrating pinball, it could maybe have earned a 2 in grade if the feeling had been better. But I wonder if better feeling would have helped this pinball so much...


- The tables

- The icy planet

Haven't really gone so deep into the theme of this table, since I don't feel I need to. You try to do things with the temperature and collect a jackpot or something. The theme is really rather uninteresting since the layout and feeling is so low that trying to explore the table theme just gets frustrating. In all this table is not very playable or lasting.

- Space Rat

Nothing more to say about it, most that was said about Ice fits for this table too... The table layout might look a bit better but the theme is very boring. It has got something to do with space.


- The feeling

The feeling isn't at all realistic. Sometimes the ball floats, sometimes it drops like a stone, sometimes I accelerates upwards way to fast sometimes not. This probably because this pinball was designed to work on the 286/486 computers. (I use a p133). Even if you play it on the type of computer it was designed for the feeling will not be realistic. The flippers aren't so useful either, mostly because the ball goes like it wants itself after you have flipped it. The feeling pulls down the playability of this pinball very much. Nothing feels right when playing.


- The whole

Not a pinball I recommend because of the bad feeling and rather uninteresting themes.
