Nearly anything possible with a real pinball table is replicated here, short of disassembly and cleaning. The designers have gone the extra mile to make certain the game is a 'simulation' rather than a conglomeration of phony pinball tactics. And, the aforementioned action is just a portion of available activities on this table.

The exciting culmination of the adventure occurs as you head to the Dawn of Time in a mind-boggling six-ball mode that leaves you reeling. The wide array of play modes and number of missions offered is astounding and the depth makes most other simulated pinball games seem dull by comparison.ĭuring gameplay, you must power up your time machine, search through time, capture the crystals, light up drop targets for bonuses, shoot for multi-ball and fight through a video mode.

Casual gamers may be put off by the availability of only one table but hardcore fans will rank it with the classics of modern pinball such as Twilight Zone and The Addams Family. Pinball fans will undoubtedly be impressed with the extensive scope and design of the rules. The search for computer pinball realism is paying dividends. While not an easy task, the designers have replicated the wild nature of pinball by infusing it with the strange properties of friction and gravity as applied to the silver ball. The impressive design of Pro Pinball: Timeshock! eschews the gimmicks and impossible tricks used by most other computer pinball series and simulates actual gameplay as closely as possible.

Pinball fans that love the feel of a flipper button in their fingers should have a blast with this new effort. The already exquisite physics model is greatly improved, as is nearly every other aspect.

Empire Interactive, a major contender in the simulated pinball market after the release of Pro Pinball: The Web, follows up with Pro Pinball: Timeshock!, featuring a host of new features and a more in-depth storyline.
