Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

3-D Ultra Pinball: The Lost Continent is an arcade-style pinball game underscored by an action-adventure story line. This game features 15 interlinked tables to move through, but you can also pick the table that offers the greatest challenge right off the bat. 3-D Ultra Pinball: The Lost Continent offers all the sights and sounds you have come to expect from the bestselling pinball series of all time. It supports controllers such as the Thrustmaster Wizard pinball controller, the Microsoft Sidewinder game pad, and the Gravis Gripp game pad.

The premise behind this pinball adventure is that sometime after World War II, Rex Hunter, bush pilot and part-time hero for hire, has crash-landed in an unexplored jungle. With him are Professor Spector, a zoologist and famous inventor, and his assistant, Mary. They find themselves in a place protected by time, a world where dinosaurs and cavemen still exist. Someone has hauled off the pieces of their plane in the middle of the night. It's up to Rex to solve the mysteries of the strange land and find their missing plane so they can get back to the world they came from. To do this, Rex and his friends must brave dinosaur attacks, cross treacherous terrain, and outwit cunning traps. The biggest hazard, however, is offered up by the Diabolical Doktor Hekla, who has no intention of letting Rex and his friends escape.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun,but..., November 20, 2000

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

I get the feeling this game could be really awesome,if I could get anywhere. This is not an easy game when it comes to advancing to different levels. As a matter of fact it can be a major challenge. The content may be suitable for 6 year olds,but as far as I am concerned they could get terribly frustrated trying to play this game,heck I'm 25 and I get extremely frustrated with this game.

(REAL NAME)   

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

I enjoy playing this a lot. It has good graphics and a lot of challenge!! It can be frustrating because there's something to be accomplished at each "table" before you can go to the next table and I can only get so far. Some of what you need to accomplish is easy to figure out, some is more of a challenge. I don't play it all the time (I have a wide variety of PC games I play), so I don't get too frustrated at my lack of progress. And when I do play it, I really do enjoy it. There are a lot of different things on the tables and, because it's a PC game, there are things (like dinosaurs running across the table that need to be bopped with the ball) that couldn't happen on a "real" table. It's a challenge and fun and I can be a really bad pinball player in the privacy of my own home! It plays on both the Mac and the MS PC, but this game I actually enjoy more on the iMac. The whole family enjoys this one, from us adults to the 8 year old.

This game is hard,the flippers are small,the challenges are quite difficult,and they're slightly different from Creep Night and the Original Pinball Game.But it's pretty good.
