Been playing this for a long time on my old computer with Windows XP and now on my new computer with Windows Vista. Lots and lots of pinball action here. If you have trouble with the game running 100 times faster than normal just switch the view in the game options from single screen to scrolling and you might want to uncheck the auto scrolling (you will see what I mean if you get a multiball play with auto scrolling on). You will almost never run out of different games here to play and try to master.

Firstly, let me say that if you are looking for a highly realistic PC pinball simulation, then this product is not for you. But if you are interested in trying digital pinball on the cheap, then you will probably be happy with this game.

The game is several years old, and the graphics show it. Simple 2D tables are used, but they generally look descent. Speaking of tables, they are one of most important parts of a pinball game. This collection has several truly excellent tables, and many acceptable ones. The designs are imaginative, ranging from "Medieval" to "Space Chase" to "San Francisco"! It is worth noting that some of the tables will not be played often, simply because they're not exceptional. That said, this is still well worth purchasing.

The controls are simple enough, and can be remapped, though there are some restrictions on the keys that can be used. The game supports multiple players, up to four, and the skill level can be adjusted.

All in all, if this game sold for $25 or more I would hesitate to recommend it. For the price, however, you would be hard pressed to find a better package.

Wouldn't work on my computer. It refused to load and it hosed up my PC. I had to reset a lot of my PC settings. I have vista premium & usually XP software will work on vista. Just not this time.
