1. For the PC?
You get me all excited with your subject, just to let me down...
I thought you meant REAL pinball! And at that I'm a Wiz!
:-)

4. before Devils Island I didn't like pinball on the PC
in fact that is the only one I like on the pc
of the ones I've played .

I tend to agree with you about PC pinball being sucky
but I figured if there was one I liked perhaps there
might be another .

2. Pro Pinball!
*The Web
*Timeshock!
*Big Race USA
*Fantastic Journey

Buy all four for chump change and be amazed!

Also (supposedly) coming soon for American release is a game from Europe called Pure Pinball. That one looks to be the best PC pinball sim yet.

Finally, get more pinball than you can shake a stick at by downloading and installing Visual Pinball and VPinMAME on your computer. Roms and tables are free and easy to download from several sites:

http://irpinball.ztnet.com/
http://www.randydavis.com/vp/intro.htm
http://www.pinmame.com/

Installation is not too difficult and somewhere within these links you can find full instructions on what to do. It's definitely worth your while if you like pinball to get into this.

3. No faves on the PC
but in the analog pinball realm I'm a sucker for Addams Family and Twilight Zone. I used to play Addams Family every day when I was living in my dorm, I got good enough where I could play for about an hour on one quarter. Some day I hope to own one of these tables. I do have a Williams Flash machine from 1979 (bought for $25.00 because the seller thought it was broken) but it's not the same as the 90's tables.
