Title: Pinball Arcade video game that simulates classic pinball machines
Post by: mark b on February 19, 2015, 09:28:39 PM

Pinball fans might like this. I downloaded it for Xbox One and their recreation of my favorite machine as a kid, Whirlwind, was pretty good. The menus and the software on Xbox One seems pretty buggy but I haven't tried the mobile versions.

They do a pretty great job, playing it on your phone is a good time too. Its helped fuel a pretty big resurgence in pinball. They are really great for learning teh rules of a machien too. If you havent yet, go into teh menu and look at the rules for a table, people dont realize how in depth and complicated they can be, expecially when you move into titles from the '90s and onward.

I downloaded this the other day and I've had a blast with it.

I'll check that out the next time I play. I was impressed with the detailed history of each machine and that it includes how many machines were made. It's a shame it's so buggy and has so many nag screens though.
