It's amazing that pinball ever got off the ground as a pastime if this is its roots. History is great, but in the end we need to have fun playing the games as well. It's just not the same experience and not all tables can successfully make the jump over to video simulations because of the obvious differences in the two mediums.

The real problem lies with the fact that video pinball is entirely different from real pinball.

In fact, gazing at a shot of the game the only way it's possible to tell that you're not looking at a real table is because of the lack of spilled beer and cigarette burns - visually the game is simply amazing. Even the tiniest details have been reproduced like the reflection of the table on the ball. The graphics are crisp and clean, the ball physics are great, and the sounds are as accurate as they can get. The really sad part of this whole story (if you find this type of thing to be emotionally involving that it) is that the games are all flawlessly produced. Out of the seven tables presented only two are worth playing, and despite the overall high production values of the pack nothing can really save a bad table from being immediately boring. Unfortunately, if you are a casual pinball player, this pack will only make you conclude that pinball as a genre has always sucked. So, not only do you get quite a few tables (seven), but you can also view the actual history of the game as it evolved over the years. The meat of the game involves simulating pinball games from Gottlieb that have come out every decade from the 1930's to the present. This venture into the realm of pinball action actually serves the noble cause of being a history lesson as well.
