Short flippers. not enough angle to them either making it Very difficult to hold ball on flippers. and i couldn’t really slam the ball as hard as I’d like to. I didn’t like the overall visual of the game. tough to see the whole game even with the other visual options. I’ve tried to play this game several times thinking there was more to it, but I just didn’t like it. There were lots and lots of cool lights and flashing light, but I’ve played simpler pinball games that were a lot more fun than this one.

I loved the Pro Pinball series back in the CD software days. Timeshock! was one of my favorites so I was delighted to see it released. It’s a very fun, realistic pinball simulator. After the intial content download (only happens once) the game is up and running very quickly after launch. My only complaint would be that the balls sometimes “jump” a bit as they move making flipping them at the right time difficult. But it’s not too difficult. A couple of times I wanted the ball to be right on the edge of the filipper and missed it because the ball jumped a couple of frames. Still a very enjoyable game. Looking forward to The Web and Big Race USA making a comeback.

I’ve played every Mac version out there, and Pro-Pinball is hands down the best! I’m really looking forward to a re-release of Big Race U.S.A., but until then Timeshock will do just fine. My only quibble with Timeshock is that it’s just too hard! It’s actually far more a real version of pinball, where you drop quarter after quarter just trying to master the game. Other pinball games stroke your ego and are easy to keep the ball in play. But Timeshock is a constant challenge, which is partly why I look forward to B.R.U.S.A. Just like everybody else … I need a little ego stroking.

Hands-down this is the most realistic pinball simulation I've ever played. It was ahead of its time when it was first released, but the Mac's 4k version is unparalleld. The graphics are crisp and, most importantly, the physics are accurately rendered. The only downside is that app is just a single table. I wish they included the original trilogy.
