'Nuff said, really. If you have any computer pinball games you particularly like, just post them here.

I'll start, by putting in my two bytes for Fairy Tower Pinball.

I could only ever get into the classic Little Wing games - Loony Labyrinth and Crystal Caliburn - and only really like the former. I'd like Crystal Caliburn more if it didn't hate me. From 30 second demos with the newer ones, like Fairy Tower, I can't really tell if they're worth my time.

Oh. I have the full version, and it is FUN!

P.S: It's a 1 2/3 minute (100 sec) demo, not 30 seconds.

Crystal Caliburn. It's the only pinball game I've played on a computer, but it was fun.

Both Crystal Caliburn and Loony Labyrinth were a blast. In fact i think i'll go play them again. however it would be nice to find some other good pinball game.

Pokemon Pinball for GameBoy was a pretty good pinball game, and I never liked Pokemon.

The only other that I have much experience with is Space Cadet, which is probably my favorite.

I had Full Tilt! Pinball for one of our older macs. It had three tables: Space Cadet, Skulduggery and Dragon's Keep. Space Cadet was probably my favorite of those three, although all three were very awesome.

I remember Space Cadet from somewhere.

It shipped on most Windows PCs for years. I think it still does.

I just downloaded Dragon's Keep and I think I still like Space Cadet more. It's easier to see what's going on on the table.

I'm somewhat partial to EA's 3D Ultra Pinball series. I have 3D Ultra Pinball 3: The Lost World. It has about 15 tables and an interesting storyline. My only complaint with it is that the first table has a few bugs that can easily cost you a ball, such as having the ball fall off a ramp into the scenery.

The ProPinball tables developed by Cunning Development and published by Empire Interactive. Nothing else came close in terms of realism, especially the later tables.

My favourite was probably Timeshock! or maybe the original: The Web. The alter tables were even more realistic in that you could adjust the wear on the table, the angle of the play board (physically, not just visually) and so on.

Sadly, they don't really play except under Classic, which died a death in Leopard. One exception is that I have managed to get "The Web" playing under BasiliskII in emulated sys 7.5.5 on a 1.6Ghz PBG4 - but the music doesn't play, and it simply isn't the same without that.

Windows users may have better luck with those versions of the tables - I don't know how well the code has survived the OS revs on that side of the fence.

Been playing Fairy Tower. I've been getting good at it. Just yesterday, I got a high score of over 30 million.

Just downloaded the demo to take a look. Sadly the graphics and music aren't a patch on ProPinball, (give me real looking ball-bearings that you can see the spin on and the reflection of the table under them along with their shadows - here they look like they're made of play-dough!) but... it runs on OSX, and although the table view is annoying (far too much wasted screen space), the physics are reasonable (you can dead catch, sling-shot, back-bump and so on) and it doesn't scroll

Hmmm, is it worth the money though... It would be nice if the demo gave you a bit longer... It's tricky to evaluate in 90secs.

Before I bought the game, I tried to mess with the program's memory (to make the demo time longer). I discovered that the reason for the backdrop is that the game takes full control of your screen, and will not let you task out. It won't even let another program take control of the screen.

That said, it's quite fun.

Both of those games were epic winsauce in a bottle. And yes, Crystal Caliburn hates you, but it's still amazing.
