- The game This game is one of three very different pinballs that I have played (other two are Prelude Pinball and Starball). The reason I say so is because of the layout, resembling to "Prelude Pinball" this one also can scroll sideways. But the three tables in this game are all different. The game is not so good either for enjoyment or as a simulator, With not so good I mean some of the tables are not so good.
There are three ways to play this game, first you can play it as a challenge. That means you start at the first of the games three tables and play on trough all three of them (they are linked to each other someway). The second is as usual where you play one table. The third way is that you play only the bonus stages which you can get to by secret passages in the tables (this is just so that you can practise the bonus stages I think)
- Wasteland Strange table. If you have played a ordinary scrolling pinball you probably know how high they are, usually 1-2 screens. Well this game is about 10 and more screens high (don't know exactly). It is built up on different levels, that is that on regular distances two "flippers" (those you shoot the ball with) are places so that you can shoot the ball higher. You start at the very bottom of this very high table and try to shoot the ball up to the next level. Its very fun and irritating thing to try to climb this table. This table is the strongest of the three, it has more to do and last longer, but it is also the most frustrating. - Antarctica Sidescrolling table. The layout is good with lots of ice blocks to shoot and small holes with links to bonus tables (all three tables have bonus tables which you reach trough different passages). But what I didn't find in this table was a main subject, goal. I played it quite a while and only discovered some links to bonus tables and ways to get higher bonus and extra balls. In all this table is quite boring and don't last. - Heavy Metal
This table is a little better than Antarctica, it is as it sidescrolling(and upscrolling of course). There are more to shoot at and more places to score at and also two bonus tables which you can access. This table also doesn't last.
The feeling is good, could need some small adjustments but there is nothing to complain about. Its easy to handle the ball.
The biggest problem is that the ball accelerates to much and it's almost impossible to shoot it up just a little bit without it going all over the screen. But the ball doesn't' reach uncontrollable speed, just acts unreal,
A game that I don't recommend in first place, unless you want a strange non simulating game. Pinball Prelude was a non simulating game, that I still recommended and graded high, but that was because it was fun and had atmosphere. This game has very little atmosphere and is not as challenging but still can be fun, so I say you can get it without being very disappointed, but you will most likely not love the game.
