Pro Pinball Ultra

Pode ser a nostalgia falando, mas Timeshock! foi o melhor jogo de pinball que já joguei, é apenas uma mesa mas é um jogo excelente. O original joguei até quebrar os shifts do teclado e o CD perder a tinta, e este é o mesmo jogo com gráficos melhores, suporte a widescreen e algumas outras melhorias. A versão da gog é bem complicada de fazer rodar no Linux de forma satisfatória, esse aqui coloquem em modo compatibilidade proton que vai rodar liso, melhor que a versão nativa.

More of a download simulator than a pinball simulator. After installing the game on Steam the game needed to download extra files FOR EVERY CAMERA VIEW of the pinball table. Sounds ridiculous but tolerable, right? The issue is that the files are downloaded from some unspecified server outside of Steam... And the downloads are INSANELY SLOW, taking up to couple hours. I literally spent more time in this game downloading additional files than playing pinball. And what will happen when the developers close the servers for these files? I am not optimistic because the game has not been updated since 2016. The upside is that the game is actually good and fun, very playable and in line with the other Pro Pinball games from the 90s (only available in a competing digital store). So if you like pinball very much and don't mind running those extra downloads in the background, why not? Pro Pinball always worked better for me than Pinball FX: the tables are easier to understand, the design less flashy and more readable. But yeah, buy it at your own peril.

Bester Flipper ever!

For my first few years of becoming addicted to pinball this was the only game that felt realistic enough to hold me over in between trips to arcades. Now years later while owning a real machine, it's fun and addictive enough that I still find myself coming back to it. It is such a stark contrast in quality compared to any other virtual pinball on the market. The game is gorgeous, the lighting immersive, it's sound effects are satisfying, it's soundtrack memorable and catchy, the callouts quotable. The ruleset is a great balance of being approachable yet incredibly in depth, and the layout is just fun to flip. It's everything I could ask for from a pinball machine and more. That being said the game is very challenging, it's not easy by any means but that's part of why I love it so much, I would attribute a lot of my early skill in learning the basics to it's difficulty, it may also just be preference, I tend to gravitate towards shot making games over flowy games. Although that may be a product of this games early influence on me, who knows. In the pinball hobby many people talk about their "dream themes", usually big licenses like movies or shows that is their all time wish to be turned into a real production game. This is mine, the game oozes so much charm that I would buy a physical one in a heartbeat and I really hope that day comes. It's virtual pinball that's incredibly immersive and has the best emulated ball physics I've experienced. It's very sad that the devs seem to have abandoned this project, I would love to see more tables added to this in the future, or better yet if someone could make a production run of this game please and thank you. :)

Realistischer, ernsthafter, stimmiger Flipper mit super Tisch. Kannte schon die alte DOS-Version. Wunderbar um zwischendurch bisschen zu daddeln. Kann aber auch die Kritik an der zum Teil 'unfairen Physik' verstehen (auf einmal zu schnell werdende Kugel an den Rampen).

Nota 8/10 Un Pinball con más de 25 años para el que parece que no haya pasado el tiempo, sigue siendo tan bueno como lo recordaba. Los sonidos, música, el apartado gráfico, y las físicas, en general es todo muy bueno. No le pongo más nota por falta de contenido adicional. Es una sola mesa pero se puede disfrutar mucho tiempo con ella. Recomendado para cualquiera al que le guste del género. Lo bueno: + Destaca en todo. Lo malo: - Se agradecerían más mesas de pinball viendo la gran calidad que tiene la única que hay.
