- The pinball This game is great for a break, shoot away the ball and go for a 15min coffee break - return and flip - new break. Note the irony. ;)
Hmm, well it is not near hiscoring, it is not good. So what is it, it is one of those elder pinballs that have been with us for a while. You will find them fascinating in a way that doesn't make them the hiscoring pinballs today, they still might have been that once. Some are just old and never where good, those haven't got the same value but still they might have been decent once. Moraff's pinball is a old pinball (from the mid 80's) and seems to have been one of the first with high res vga, it has a sort of classic value. It also uses those funny pc speakers (always funny to remark on those, don't ask me why).
A very simple and in the whole boring table. They layout is simple with lots a lock holes and, uhm, lots a flippers too. The most obvious thing is to lock the balls in all the lock holes and then have some fun. You score on some bumpers and so, not much ells to do. The table is in high res vga, not so impressing today, when it came it was unusual. It might be fun to shoot around a little while on the table but in the whole combined with the feeling it is not all that lasting or fun.
The feeling is really not good in any way. Sometimes it feels like you play in space when the ball bounces against a side wall and just bounces back without dropping so much to the floor. You could just as well be playing pool. The ball doesn't exactly move in highspeed but it keeps on bouncing around almost forever sometimes. You do have the feel that is trying to resemble a pinball, somehow, which is kind a nice, I think... Still the feeling is simply put lousy when it comes to ball handling and aiming.
Don't get me wrong if I say I don't recommend this pinball. I just understand (or belive) that not many will enjoy playing it today. It looks old and outdated. It feels so too. It is all that too!! It is on the other hand a pinball that has existed for a long time and has it's own certain value. Try the demo of it and you will find it has it's certain charm and classic value. It is hard to review old pinballs today since you tend to only have the best one of date in mind, that way the old one doesn't turn out so good since you know better can be made. When reviewing the best one of today you see it as the best, you probably know better can be done but still it is the best and will always remain as one of the best. That is classical value, moraff's has a little of it, try it (the demo, don't run out and buy it because I said try it) you might find it charming but it is nothing that will last or so. I take for granted everyone who reads this review and tries the demo understands this pinball is around 10 years old and can figure out that the company which made it might not make exactly that kind of pinballs today.
