- The pinball
This pinball is kind a funny to play it has nothing special in it, well it looks different from almost every other pinball. You haven't got a scrolling screen, instead you have some kind of three screen split, you start in the middle and can then maneuver the ball over to both sides of the screen. On each side is there another set of two flippers to use.
Another thing different in this pinball is that sometimes things explode and start burning on the table, a plane flies around above the table moving your ball. It might sound terrific or at least fun and it is a little bit, but it isn't exactly simulating, still it's good. The fact it isn't a simulator doesn't make the grade any mroe worse, I can just not give it any higher, since it is a good game but it isn't a simulator, even though the look of it. It is fun too play a while but not for hours, it's windows, but both for 3.11 and 95. The pinballs 3D engine is nothing compared to the likes of pro pinball: the web.
- The tables
The pinball contains three different tables: Mine, Colony and Command Post.
- The feeling
The feeling is ok I guess, nothing strange about how the ball goes, it goes good. But the fact that you only have the screen's size to move in, makes the ball rather small, so you don't get the same feeling when you shoot.
- The whole
A pinball to buy if you want something ordinary but still different.
