Pinball Massacre 12+

In 1280x800 its unplayable because the lagis so bad, the gameplay is a constant stutter, the timer's counting is very slow. I tried 1024x768 its better but still very slow, even with shadows/relections turned OFF, still lags!!!! I know my macbook can do far better visuals than this game so why is it so bad?!!!

Full of glitches too, I had the ball stuck up against a bumber and was scoring thousands of points while I watched with no hands on the keyboard. 8 extra lives in no time. this game just isn't any fun

Graphics are choppy. Can't be played. (Macbook pro mid 2014)

Despite not being a big fan of virtual pinball, I decided to checkout Pinball Massacre for two reasons:
1. I've never played an "arcade-style" pinball game before.
2. Nuclear Nova's incredible track record of releasing unique, creative, and (most importantly) *fun* games.

The "arcade-style" moniker is totally accurate and the person that wrote it was totally right; you won't understand what that means until you give it a whirl. For me, the notion of an "arcade" brings back fond memories of afternoons spent in a smelly, dark building jamming untold fortunes into coin slots for the right to spend a few minutes pounding my hands on loud, flashy, wonderous machines. Pinball Massacre doesn't dissapoint. The first time you've got half-a-dozen balls bouncing around the screen, you'll *understand* why the illustrious "arcade" descriptor is fitting.

As for some of the technical problems described by a previous reviewer, I'm running 10.6.8 on a MBP w/ similar specs and didn't have a single issue after installation. Also, IMHO, you're not getting the full experience if you're using fixed-camera mode. I tried it out for a while, but I much prefer having the game do all of the rapid neck work for me ;)

In summary, Pinball Massacre provides a unique, totally rad arcade pinball experience in the comfort of your own home. Can't wait to see what they add!
