Pinball is a game where the player controls the paddles of a virtual pinball machine. The game has two screens to represent the traditional pinball table and one for a bonus mode. Play begins when the player launches a ball with the plunger from first screen through the top of the screen to the second screen. Play will move to the first screen if the ball falls through the bottom of the top screen and will return to the top screen if the ball is hit back through the space at the top of the first screen. If the ball falls through the hole to the right bottom at the top level, the player will enter a mini-game featuring Mario and Lady. The player controls the paddles on either screen to deflect the ball to keep it from falling off the bottom of the lower screen. Read less

Review ApramPepo 3/5 · Sep 27, 2021

A surprisingly addicting NES launch title.

This game surprised me. I mean, Yes it's a Pinball game.

For some reason though, I was enjoying playing this so much that I didn't notice I was playing for about 25 minutes.

I was enjoying this game so much, even found some secret stuff and mini games inside it.

I was seriously shocked by how good this game was. …

I was seriously shocked by how good this game was. One of the better and maybe "Underrated" games available for the NES Launch.

It's Pinball

Not a lot to say about Pinball for the NES. It's Pinball. The physics and feel of the ball is nice and anyone can instantly pick it up and play. It's nice when you find a new bonus room or you trigger an event you haven't seen before, but there's not many of them and I wish there was more …

Not a lot to say about Pinball for the NES. It's Pinball. The physics and feel of the ball is nice and anyone can instantly pick it up and play. It's nice when you find a new bonus room or you trigger an event you haven't seen before, but there's not many of them and I wish there was more than one "machine" or board to play on.

There's Mode A and mode B, the latter being faster/harder, as well as the Two Player mode where you start with 3 balls each, and you play every other ball to see who gets the higher score. I can imagine it being fun to grind for a new high score back in the day, just to have your sibling or friend try to reclaim the throne right after you. Tilted!
