Space Cadet because I'd compete against my dad, and GBC Pokemon Pinball, because holy shit that game is fun. My friend had Revenge of the Gators, which is aight too.

Also, never played this one, but what thread would be complete w/o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UimIrTjuvfE

I remember Intellivision Pinball being really enjoyable.

The story in the image is really funny.
I actually went to my local retro game store last month and picked Kirby's Pinball Land. It didn't work. Tried to make it work 50 times. Had to return it. They apologized that it didn't work. Apparently the pins were rusted or something. They have a guarantee that all their games work but I guess that didn't apply that day. Sigh...

Rock n Ball (NES) [only pinball video game with 2-player head-to-head, that I'm aware of; FANTASTIC with 2 people]
Kirby's Pinball Land (Gameboy)
Alien Crush (TG-1G)
Demon Crash [aka Demon Crush] (TG-16) [p[ported to Genesis as "Dragon's Fury]
Jaki Crush (SNES)
Battle Pinball (SNES) [probably my most played]
Super Pinball (SNES)
Super Pinball II (SNES)
The Last Gladiator (Saturn)
Necronomicon (Saturn)
Visual PinMAME (for recreations of actual tables)

That should get you started.

If you liked Pokemon Pinball, and especially if you're into /m/ like me, try Super Robot Pinball, it's awesome.

Always loved Galactic Pinball on Virtual Boy. I used to bury my face in it for most of a day at a time.

I personally loved Epic Pinball on the PC. Another good pinball game was Midnight Magic for the Atari 2600

The problem with retro pinball games is that they give you a false sense of being a pinball expert. Real life pinball machines are much faster than what the NES is.

Pinball Dream was pretty fun, haven't played it in a while though

>>4176309
Most of the pinball games I like aren't retro, old systems didn't do real pinball very good justice in my opinion.

But I do have a soft spot for Sonic Spinball. I don't like any of the normal Sonic games at all, but that one is a good deal of fun.

Pokemon Pinball.

Full Tilt! Pinball

Pinball Quest on the NES. The physics are off a bit and take some getting used to though.

Psycho Pinball and Extreme Pinball.

JAKI JAKI CRUSH
Demon's Crush
Dino Pinball (can't remember correct name, Genesis game)
Space Cadet

OP here. I just looked up the game on YouTube. Duuuuuude this pinball game looks fucking awesome. It has Evangelion characters and music in it too.

I think pinball video games can be pretty fun, and they actually don't need to be like real life pinball machines, in fact, they play more like a mix of pinball and pachinko. The ones that are like that are, pretty much all the old ones, Pinball on NES, Video Pinball on Atari2600, Pinball Fantasies on PC, Devil's Crush in MD/PCE, they're all completely vertical and the physics of the balls are more on par with small pachinko balls, rather than big, heavy real pinballs.
And that's fine though, it works. I love all of these games. They are their own thing, I won't get the same experience playing on real pinballs.
Then there's more realistic ones, where the table it at an angle, so it's more like the real thing. Space Cadet was like in-between, it wasn't completely vertical, but it wasn't at the right angle to feel realistic either.

Gotta agree here, Sonic Spinball is not a good example of a good pinball video game. I'm not saying it's horrible or anything, but as far as pinball games go, this one is not very good, it has some good art direction though.

Video Pinball on Atari 2600 is weird, but still interesting.

The physics are so bizarre, it's like a challenge to see how long you can get the ball to bounce all on its own. You can just leave it to bounce around the field for minutes without intervening. Kind of a chill game in that respect, but very much unlike pinball.

>>4177268
Yeah it has arkanoid physics, definitely interesting and actually can be fun.
Speaking of arkanoid-like, the bonus phase of NES Pinball is pretty much arkanoid.

>[aka Devil Crush]

Fuck, I mean "aka Demon's Crush". The original release is "Devil Crash", but there's a version called "Demon's Crush" as well.

Timeshock! is my favorite simulation-style pinball game, but this is my favorite 'fantasy pinball' game. Creep Night by Sierra.

>>4176309
Epic Pinball and Sierra Ultra 3D Pinball

Anybody?

>>4176309
Anyone like the TV shows growing pains and family matters?

>>4176309
Nice thread....
I liked those pinball games back than.
And DICE were the kings of the genre. To bad they are wasting their potential now with those rubbish Battlefield and Battlefront games.

Pinball Dreams
Pinball Fantasies
Pinball Illusions
All were fantastic.

Too bad, when Spidersoft took over after DICE the games suffered. Pinball Mania was garbage.

But I had lot's of fun with "Slam Tilt" and "Pinball Brain Damage" on my Amiga 1200 too.

I think because it's not really a pinball game I accept it more on it's own merits and like it for what it is. Ones that are trying to be pinball but feel off I never dug as much.

>>4176309
First video game I'd ever played

>>4177518
>Timeshock! is my favorite simulation-style pinball game

Have you got timeshock ultra on steam yet? it's exceptional.

Pokemon pinball

Even came with a built in rumble pack so you can FEEEL your game

>>4179757
I find myself thinking the same as I play more real life pinball. Games with their inaccurate physics (I understand they were necessarily bad) just don't do it for me unless there's some clearly impossible or impractical extras built in, or a neat gimmick to distinguish it.

>>4176309
Pinball Quest for NES is very original and fun

>>4183667
Exactly. Playing actual pinball games I can't help but compare the.

Crocodile pinball on the gameboy, or whatever it's called, it has crocodiles at any rate.

>>4176309
love this game!
