5.0 out of 5 stars Finally pinball for the PC that is fun!, December 1, 2000

By 

Tom Douglas (Marlow) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 3-D Ultra Pinball Power (CD-ROM)

Pinball is a physical game. Its human versus machine, leaning over the table, jabbing the flippers, nudging without tilting.

It cant possibly work on the PC. You lose 90% of the experience and are left with a diversion more than a game.

Sierra realised this, and instead of making a PC replica of a real pinball game they added a load of features, subplots and novelties that make you forget that you have lost all the fun of real pinball.

Each game includes several linked table and features that build up over time. As a result you need to apply your brain and be strategic in order to get through to other tables and reach the ultimate goal.

The basics of the game - the ball movement, the flippers and the targets - work very well and it does have a good 'feel'.

Each table fits on one screen, avoiding the annoying scrolling of other computer pinball games.

If you just want to play a pinball replica, this is probably a tad too complicated, but for me 3-D ultra pinball is excellent!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great collection!, June 16, 2000

Finally, Sierra has decided to bundle all of their 3D Ultra Pinball games into one outstanding collection. This set has 24 pinball tables from the original 3D Ultra Pinball, Creep Night, and The Lost Continent. Not only that, but they have bundled the full version of The Incredible Machine and several playable demos as well.

The graphics may seem a bit dated, but you will find that it doesn't take away from the amount of fun you'll have playing these games. The tables from the first two games are huge, and are composed of a main 'table' and one or more 'sub-tables'. All of the tables from the first two games have many games within the table that provide more challenges and can give big rewards. The third pinball game, The Lost Continent, is a huge adventure that will take you over 15 interlinked tables as you help a group of travellers escape a primeval island that is infested with dinosaurs.

Altogether, you get 24 great tables and The Incredible Machine, a game where you build crazy machines to solve puzzles, for one great price. Other pinball games only give you a single table, or abunch of tables with outdated graphics and cheesy music. You just can't go wrong if you pick up this collection!
