Rolling Video Pinball no big thrill...

[StanJr]

I was playing video pinball trying to figure out the details of the left tube drain trick, when I rolled the score on my first ball. Needless to say this was less than spectacular and pretty much killed my desire to play the game. Why would this be so easy to do? Especially with a game like pinball?

 

Ugh.

 

Stan sure plays a mean pinball

whilst setting out to do the same thing, Ive realized that yes, it is too easy, i think that Atari was trying to get it so real that it made it to easy, just play midnight magic, a nicer game.

 

I also play a mean game o' pinball but mine is more of a "not as nice game"

Yeah, Video Pinball isn't a very good simulation of Pinball. Now that this thread has come up, I remember the game being excessively easy when I played it as a kid. I don't know if that stopped me from playing it, though. Midnight Magic certainly is the better of the two games.

Yeah, I need to get a copy of Midnight Magic, video pinball will not suffice.

 

How sad, its mostly a pretty fun pinball game...

Almost as east to roll this one over as it is to roll over home run against a 6 year old wait that's a different post
