Everything got better when I became a green-haired 2D girl. I do fun and unusual things with video games and pinball.

cohost inspired me to do more. Thank you



I wrote about Nine Ball in detail in my "best 80s pinball tables" thread.

As I said there:

There have been a lot of pinball tables about pool. There has been only one where the artwork they decided to go with was 'exploding pool in space vs. a wizard'.

I like what Stern (not that Stern, the older one) did with Nine Ball, making a table with long-shot goals you can shoot for, along with other viable scoring options, one of which is the always-satisfying "light the spinner and rip it". I like drop targets, and I suspect they designed this machine so they could show off their electronically-controlled drop targets with a "hit the targets in order" mechanism.

Bord's recreation of Nine Ball in VPX feels physically accurate to the way a 1980 machine should play. You can download it here.
