the game, when ordered (or collected) included a staggering 12 tables. A gem from the glorious golden days of DOS gaming, I'd dare say that no single pinball game has had more variety in its tables than Epic Pinball. Just as capable as Pinball Dreams/Fantasies/Illusions, but with a much more exotic and impossible design, Epic Pinball has to be my favorite video pinball game of all time.

Standard versions of these games have MOD music, but the Amiga CD32 versions have a special, and absolutely incredible, redbook audio soundtrack that is indicative of early-mid 90's house music.
#3D PINBALL SPACE CADET REAL LIFE SERIES#
This is a solid, low-frills pinball game series that has survived because it deserves to. You had typical themes like circus', or urban life, along with slightly more interesting themes like a haunted house. This game aimed more for realism than most video pinball games, and thus the tables often felt like they could have been real, actual tables without sacrificing too much. Developed by Digital Illusions CE (AKA DICE, the battlefield people), each of these games contained 4 themed tables.
My first run in with the series was Pinball Dreams on the GP32, but I've since played numerous ports, my favorites being the iOS and Amiga CD32 versions. It was originally a series of Amiga pinball games, but they've been ported to just about everything since, including iOS, the GP32, various game consoles like the Atari jaguar and SNES, numerous PCs, and even less capable hardware like the C64.
This is one of those series that refuses to die and just keeps on coming back. Pinball Dreams, Pinball Fantasies, Pinball Illusions Here's a look back at my favorite video pinball games throughout history: This is an ancient genre with thousands of games over the years that still continues today with releases like Pinball FX and Zen Pinball. Figuring out which angles and velocities different parts of the flippers will yield, being able to predict how bumpers will react to the ball. Mastering these physics, which varies from game to game, is part of what makes these games so fun. Their physics are often floaty and unrealistic, and that adds to their charm.
On the surface, video pinball looks just like normal pinball, but actually playing such games feels entirely different. Can we talk video pinball for a second? Real pinball is awesome and fun and a whole bunch of other stuff, but I've always enjoyed the impossible, innacurate world of video pinball much more.
