Pressure Pinball Math McKenna
Klick & Play
grade

Reviewed: 1997 

- The pinball

This pinball is made with Klick&Play, some kind of program in which you can create your own games with various tools. The table is very far from being a pinball but still somehow is one. The feeling is extremely poor, the ball moves over the table in slowmotion and it doesn't act natural at all. You almost don't need to use the flippers since everything works anyway.


- The tables

- Pressure Pinball

Actually there is no main goal with this table, you just shoot away the ball and then you try to score. There is no skill involved when scoring. After the ball has been shot away you hope it will hit a round object which appears from time to time on the table, when the ball hits the object you get two balls in play, the second ball explodes into a million balls and then it is just to sit back and watch as the balls flout around hitting bumpers and scoring. So as you understand, the multiball really is something special.


- The feeling

The feeling is very bad, the ball physics are like a pool ball (that is it moves over the table much like a pool ball does) and the flippers move with the speed of a turtle. The thing is: after you have launched the ball (from the kicker) it can take a while before you need to use one of the flippers, and when a ball hits the flipper it is not always it starts rolling down it (or does something realistic), instead it sometimes bounces right up again. And during the multiball there is no bigger need to use the flippers, but you can of course do so if you want (doesn't matter so much). If you start the multiball you can go and drink coffee and then return just in time to see the last ball from the multiball drain. So as you understand the ball physics are not anywhere near realistic and the playing value of this pinball is therefore very, very low.


- The whole

A pinball not worth so much, it is freeware though so if you want to see the million multiball you can download it for a quick look. That is about all playing this pinball is worth and it is not a pinball I would recommend to anyone.
