US Steam price, checked 5 h ago

The verdict

A faithful, realistic simulator of classic real pinball tables, but dated, buggy and abandoned, with the best Williams/Bally tables gone. Skip it if you want a modern or complete package.

Great for

Pinball purists who want authentic Stern and Gottlieb tables with realistic ball physics

Main risk

Paying a lot for table packs in an abandoned, buggy game that lost its best licensed tables

What players love
