| 278.1 | PINBALL (Yawn) | COMET::SHEEHAN | | Thu Jun 01 1989 10:13 | 11 |
| RE:-1
I bought the PINBALL game about 6 months ago and have been
disappointed with it. As far as I recall, you only get a free ball
after racking up 50K points and after that you are just playing
for a score.
I have not seen any other PINBALL games out there.
Regards,

| I found disappointing is that you can't nudge or "tilt" the game. Also,
there is no way of earning any 'free' games. True, you can earn one extra
ball if you reach 50,000 points, but as already mentioned, that is all.
When you reach 100,000 points, the paddles will become invisible and will
become visible again if you reach either 150,000 or 200,000; I can't
remember which.
Aside from all that, the game does behave more like a pinball machine
and offers much more than the old Atari 2700 Pinball game when it comes to
graphics, game play options, and ball action. I've found it a good game
to use on visitors who aren't familiar with the Nintendo system or of
a good video system; everyone understands it immediately. Good for house
parties. But, because the only main objective is to just make the most
points, playing by oneself will get boring in a short while.

| 278.3 | Does ANYTHING ELSE Happen? | MORO::WHICKER_BI | | Tue Jun 27 1989 21:32 | 5 |
| Does anthing else happen throughout the game? I've gotten the
score to 750,000 but nothing different has occurred...same old stuff...
I was wondering what would happen if I got the score up to 1,000,000?
Anybody been up there yet? Did anything happen?

| re: .3
I have had the score up to around 500K and nothing new happens.
It's great up until 100 - 150K and then nothing special occurs.

| This is definitely PINBALL. Personally I enjoy it, but the screen
changes are HARD on the eyeballs. ROLLERBALL must be quite different
because I honestly couldn't see someone getting over a million in
PINBALL very quickly. Aside from the fact it'd probably take over
an hour just to accumulate that many points ....
I think it's GREAT for the kids. My 4-year old has high score of
the house, and my 2-year old has fun pushing the buttons! Of course
when we say "Jason, HIT it!", he punches the television (-:
Similar to in Mario Bros. "Jason JUMP!", he jumps up and down.
Anyway, I think it's a nice break instead of having things trying
to kill you all the time. Of course if I had a dime for everytime
I said 'Just one more game ....' zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......
So then, WHAT'S ROLLERBALL??

| 278.7 | PIN-BOT is #1 | DEMING::OSHAUGHNESSY | | Fri Jun 08 1990 12:52 | 6 |

Another real good pinball game is PIN-BOT. It is just like the real
pinball game. Some of the differences is when you get up to around
3 million points the ball changes into a trangular ball. This makes
for some wierd bounces. It goes for around $44 at Kay-Bee toy. In
my mind PIN-BOT is the best pinball game Nintendo has out to date.
