- akira pinball game rules
- sega saturn necronomicon pinball game rules
- pinball video games cannot resist putting a weird little digital guy in the middle of your screen for the ball to bounce off of that you have to "damage" by hitting him and it's ALWAYS a bad idea it ALWAYS sucks
- nes games are often largely unplayable
- Flipnic is the most pinball game to ever exist and is a living fucking nightmare
-
Akira Psycho Ball is shockingly good; it's grounded in normal pinball table rules but builds on them juuuust enough to be really interesting. Tons of fun, I genuinely recommend it
-
Necronomicon for the Sega Saturn is AWESOME. An announcer yelling the weirdest stuff imaginable while the guitarist for dream theater plays baffling music at you and the game shows a fucked up moon. Like the coolest table at the arcade that nobody plays except you.
-
Pinball Quest for the NES is... An NES game. It's really interesting and experimental, and also nearly unplayable without mean and weird and old school it is.
-
Jaki Crush is another game in the Alien Crush series that is super well known; it's as cool and good as the rest of em. Giant fucked up dragons and evil demon faces.
-
Muppet Pinball for the GBA is... Fine. Some fun tables, but they don't do much.
-
House of the Dead Pinball for the GBA is great, why'd they go so hard with this one. Has major "we threw an enemy for you to hit on the field" problems tho.
-
Saban's Power Rangers Battle Pinball for the PS1 is really funny in a goofy way; maybe the most like... What I expect from a pinball game. You fight bosses who stand in the middle of the field, that sorta thing. Seems like it's also PROBABlY pretty racist so we killed it before it could get too bad lol
-
Metroid Prime Pinball is really fucking cool. A bit heavy on the mini games and stuff; not really built to be a pinball game, more a like weird little side experiment. If I had this on my DS I would have thought it was the coolest thing ever.
-
LASTLY, FLIPNIC IS A LIVING NIGHTMARE. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT. EVERY SECOND IT PLAYS A NEW LGIHT TURNS ON AND A NEW WARNING BLARES AT YOU. ITS OVER SENSORY HELL
- Zombie Rollerz: Pinball Heroes isn't so much a pinball game as much as a pinball-inspired roguelike? It's... weird. I can't really recommend it as a pinball game, but if you like action-heavy roguelikes and want one with a pinball thing, it might work for you!
- Crue Ball is a mediocre video pinball game that's bafflingly themed after motley crue, has okay-ish for the genesis gameplay, isn't super fun... and has one of the all time great sega genesis soundtracks. The composer of The Black Knight 2000 did 9 original tracks for this and they all RULE holy shit. check the soundtrack out, but probably not the game lol
- Sonic Spinball isn't... good. I get why everyone called it borderline unplayable, the physics are awful and the game is SO hard. The worst part is, I can see why a sonic pinball game like this is such a compelling pitch and I want the better version of this game... it's not the one we have, though.
- Sonic Pinball Party is a pretty okay set of 2 simple GBA pinball tables stapled to a BAFFLING number of fun minigames and diversions. If I had been given a GBA game (and a gba, I guess) with a functioning chao garden that you filled by playing a silly little pinball table and also gambling minigames it'd be the best game I played in my entire childhood
- 3D Ultra Pinball: Thrillride is a baffling Sierra game from that time period where Sierra was just cranking out baffling games. It uses prerendered FMV for like... seemingly almost everything in game, and the ball just kinda moves around on the board; i'm not even sure if there's actual physics. However, it is massive nostalgia for me. :)
- Extreme Pinball, Developed by Digital Extremes (the warframe devs) is fucking awful. Oh my god the physics on this game are SO BAD. It is nearly unplayably fast and the tables aren't even that fun. Just a fuckin bad game.
- Adventure Pinball: The Forgotten Island, ALSO by the warframe devs, is extremely funny because they made Unreal Tournament and IMMEDIATELY, in their very next game, were like "dude we GOTTA try out this unreal engine for a fuckin PINBALL game". It's... slightly better? at the very least it has physics. MASSIVELY more racist tho, jesus christ
- SCREAMIN MAD GEORGE'S PARANOIASCAPE is breathtaking. I adore it. It is nearly unplayable. Outsider art by an absolute madman featuring as much piss as possible. Check it out if you have a strong stomach and a love of skyboxes made up entirely of fucked up eyes.
- Xenotilt is just Demontilt but louder, more intense, more over the top, and most importantly, hornier. Thank you so much for making it hornier. That's all I could ask. I'd like the fucked up evil bug alien lady with the bouncing pixel art boobs to please kiss me, perhaps,
