3D-Pinball
Description official description
A standard pinball table is featured in this simulation, but with the original addition of a tilted view of the table, giving an illusion of 3D. As with any table, the aim is to get a high score, and this is done by hitting particular targets repeatedly. There are bonus ramps, bumpers, lights to be hit to increase your bonus count (which can be toggled using the left and right flipper keys). There is no 'pin' between the flippers, and no apparent tilt feature, meaning that luck plays a bigger part than in most pinball games. The ball is always launched at a standard speed on each of your five lives.

The Good
Really this an amazing accomplishment on an 8-bit computer. Sure it cannot compete with later machines. But a really well designed table.
The Bad
Originally I was a bit disappointed with the soft action on the flippers.
But I change my mind on the game overall.
The Bottom Line
The audio is amazing! I hear the bumpers and the ball rolling down the board just like the real thing.
The flippers? With a little practice, the game plays wonderfully.
Highly recommended!
