This game is so addictive. So simple, but so good.

What are some other good pinball video games?
I only played Sonic Spinball and Pokemon Pinball but honestly I think I like the old NES pinball the best.

Hoooly fuck I forgot all about that game.

I remember as a kid I never really appreciated pinball too much, but I really enjoyed this one.

When my dad would take me to an arcade he'd always hit up the pinball machines while I'd usually gravitate to the beat 'em ups or second rate fighting games like World Heroes and Time Killers. I still prefer them to street fighter.

I love this game. I actually came into the thread to see if anyone had mentioned it.

There's an indie title called Rollers of the Realm on Steam that seems like the modern day rebirth of the idea.

>>3230562
Everything about game used to creep me out as a kid, it just had an unsettling sort of vibe at the time
>>
>>3236602
Fuck yeah.

I got pretty good at bumping the board without tilting bouncing the ball between the right (I think) pillars getting the multiplier high.
>>
>>3240204
Loool... I couldnt see the pic when replying (using clover). Guess multiplier is left pillars.
>>
>>3230562
That looks fucking amazing for NES. Especially considering how it looks exactly like the physical Pinbot machine.
>>
>>3240567
it's a static, manually drawn image of the real machine. The impressive bit is the use of the very limited palette and probably a few sprite overlays

I don't like how you can easily get to the lower screen if you get the ball on the hole to the left.
But other than that, I don't see a big difference, other than a few minimal graphical changes like the numbers and some colors. What makes this better than the NES version? Also, is it possible to emulate it with MAME or something?
>>
Night Mission Pinball
Had an adjustment screen where you could change all sorts of game variables affecting the physics and display.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8xF6300Hdw

>>3236602
My favorite trick was when you went down the left gutter, if you nudged to the right, the ball would hit an invisible wall at the bottom and bounce back up. Do it right, and you could actually recover the ball without tilting.

Pinball Dreams on the Amiga is excellent. Great physics, nice graphics, no fancy gimimcks.

Stange to think the people who made it went on to make Battlefield.
>>
>>3245720
MAME does it justice either via retroarch or frontends. There's some neat easter eggs in it. You remember those chick eggs near at the bottom? If you get them all to turn pink, you get a ball save where fucking Clu-Clu swoops in and hauls the ball back to the top of the screen. I freaked the fuck out the first time this happened. Honestly the ball hole sink on the right didn't bother me, hell that's probably what it would do on a real pinball machine if we're talking challenging design. Oh and the music they added reminds me of Firepower, which is one of my favorite pinball machines.

>>3247239

Cool, thanks, I will try it later then.
I don't see a huge difference graphically, but the clu-clu cameo is cool.
And yeah I guess the hole sink thing is more challenging that way, but that also means I'd be on the lower part of the table most of the times and that'd suck for me at least. But I'll try it out for sure.

The music is fine, but I think nothing on the arcade game beats the nostalgic title screen jingle for me.
