Pro Pinball for Pc

I pulled the trigger quick on this one, thinking it was the entire original quartet of this app games. But it's just the one table, Timeshock. Given that, I think it's a bit overpriced. The initial download took quite a while (3 gb of data!) but the graphics are outstanding. The physics are really good. I'm glad to see this table has been given new life. It was groundbreaking when it was first released and it's still a really good table.

I’ve played every Mac version out there, and the app-Pinball is hands down the best! I’m really looking forward to a re-release of Big Race U.S.A., but until then Timeshock will do just fine. My only quibble with Timeshock is that it’s just too hard! It’s actually far more a real version of pinball, where you drop quarter after quarter just trying to master the game. Other pinball games stroke your ego and are easy to keep the ball in play. But Timeshock is a constant challenge, which is partly why I look forward to B.R.U.S.A. Just like everybody else … I need a little ego stroking.

This is an updated Blast from the Past! Timeshock was my first realistic Pinball game for the PC and I played it for a very long time. If the old PC version worked on anything newer than Windows 95, I would still be playing it to this day. This new updated version for the Mac is outstanding and here is why - First and foremost, the graphics are crystal clear, colors are vibrant, lighting is excellent, sound is nicely done as well, and most importantly Ball movement is smooth and fluid. Comparing the new version for the Mac to the old PC version is pretty straight forward. This new version’s graphics totally blow away the old and on a Retina Display it looks as realistic as it could possibly get. They did an outstanding job bringing this old classic up to date. I noticed another reviewer was complaining about the size of this app Timeshock for Mac. This person claims it is 10GB in size instead of 550MB. This needs to be explained. First, there are many different views in many different resolutions. So, if you just want to play on the default resolution on the default view, it really is only 550MB. If you downloaded EVERY view in EVERY resolution, then it works out to be about 10GB. I really do not see a need to download every view in every resolution. Therefore, I would not be concerned about the amount of space it will take up on your hard drive. I can only say small one bad thing about the new this app Timeshock. If you want to change table views, it must download each one separately and this takes some time to do unless you have a really fast Internet connection. However, once you have done this, there are no more downloads as it saves the downloads on your hard drive. Just as a reference - I am running this app on a Mid 2014 MacBook the app 15” Retina Display with an Intel Core i7 2.8GHz Processor TurboBoost to 4.0GHz, 16GB of RAM (Memory), Dual Graphics Cards (One Intel Iris the app w/2GB of Video Memory and One NVIDIA GeForce GT 750 w/2GB of Video Memory), and a 512GB Solid State Drive. Using this Laptop, this app runs on MAX Settings using my displays native or default Resolution totally smoothly. The Ball and Flippers work without any lag or jittering. I hope this information helps and I would highly recommend this app. I am giving this app 5 Stars for the outstanding update, the realism of a real Pinball Table, hours and hours of enjoyable playtime, excellent playability, and the pure fun factor.

Short flippers. not enough angle to them either making it Very difficult to hold ball on flippers. and i couldn’t really slam the ball as hard as I’d like to. I didn’t like the overall visual of the game. tough to see the whole game even with the other visual options. I’ve tried to play this game several times thinking there was more to it, but I just didn’t like it. There were lots and lots of cool lights and flashing light, but I’ve played simpler pinball games that were a lot more fun than this one.
