The most realistic pinball sim I've ever played.
14 Nov 1999

I've played 4 of the machines, in real life and the simulations are awesome clones of the REAL thing. While young I was lucky enough to learn alot of pinball playing Spirit of 76, and there's no almost no difference. Cue Ball Wizard, the most current game, is lacking a simple way to hit the right ramp shot (the real game has a VERY easy ramp shot). Otherwise, the old games are entertaining, with different generations remembering one table or another.

The absolute BEST Pinball CD for your computer...so far!
7 Nov 1999

Since Gottlieb has been known at the "cadillac" of the pinball industry, it is only fitting that this CD contains Premier/Gottlieb games.
The realistic action, features and sounds make it a wonderful addition to a CD game library.
That's coming from someone who has been in the commercial side of the coin operated amusement industry since 1975!
The only thing missing is changing light bulbs and waxing the playfield!
This is a great CD and a great place to start playing pinball on CD rom....Have fun!

Not bad for what it is, but...

By have clue -- will travel
- Published on Amazon.com
This isn't a bad pinball package at all, but it's definitely not the best available (for that, refer to the Pro Pinball series).
The games are faithfully rendered on-screen, and look and sound just like the originals. The gameplay itself, on the other hand, can be a bit choppy in places compared to the Pro Pinball engine. Cue Ball Wizard, in particular, is very difficult to play -- the sharp angle at which you view the table doesn't help. (If only they'd allowed you to view the tables from different angles...)
The earlier games provide a nifty sense of history for the pinball genre -- but are often not that much fun to play. The novelty may wear off relatively quickly for those used to today's tables.
Well worth a look -- and...it's not a bad value just for the nostalgia factor. If you want a great game as well as a history lesson, however, look to the Pro Pinball games.
