1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Pinball games!, December 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Pinball Madness 3 (CD-ROM)

This set of pinball games is terrible. The flippers are sluggish, the graphics are dark and hard to see. The 3D effect of the tables is poor, and makes play confusing. The box claims 27 tables, but there are not 27 DIFFERENT tables - there seem to be about 15 different tables, and the rest are just duplicate tables on another CD. If you like the graphics and feel and play of the Space Cadet pinball table that comes with Windows, don't buy this. It's not even close.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware Of This Game, May 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Pinball Madness 3 (CD-ROM)

I was only able to install Absolute Pinball. I could not get any of the other games installed. My computer is a Compaq 166 with 48 MB RAM. I have lots of free disk space to install these games. Here is the error message I got when I clicked on install for each game...

Error extracting support files. Interface not registered.

I can't believe I'm the only one that has had trouble with Pinball Madness 3. I'll never purchase any Encore Software products again, mainly because they don't seem to have any interest in their customers. I wrote numerous messages to Encore Software Support and never got a response.

1.0 out of 5 stars a major disappointment, July 15, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Pinball Madness 3 (CD-ROM)

This is a very low quality collection of pinball games. I have a top-of-the-line computer (1.2 GHz cpu, 256 M ram, etc) and some of these games, each with its own installation program, had trouble installing and running. Some froze up my machine to the point I had to power cycle. The games seem to be a collection of several independently-developed pinball games from different companies, thrown together on a set of 3 or 4 CDs, each with different setup routines and user interfaces. Get one game figured out and you have no assurance that you'll know how to run the next one (assuming it will run!). Only one of the games, "Creep Night" by Sierra, was worth keeping on my machine, but even it isn't up to their usual standard of quality in terms of graphics and game play, and it also has locked up my machine once or twice. If you see this product in the store, don't be fooled by the fancy box! After 30 minutes I wished I had my money back.
