Epic Pinball
–
Amazing smooth-scrolling pinball from Epic Megagames! You’ll be amazed that this 386 PC game looks and plays so well on the Nokia tablet!
Download
Super Android table
(shareware version)
here
.
Game Executable
: PINBALL.EXE
Settings
:
cpu cycles 1300
render frameskip 0
sblaster sbtype none
sdl fullscreen true
sdl mapperfile /usr/share/dosbox/
mappercsa.txt
(read
here
how mappercsa.txt changes key mappings)
Note:
This game can use the full height of the screen, so be sure and set it to fullscreen before or during the game.
Controls
:
Left & Right Arrow keys
– left and right flippers
Space
– hold to pull down plunger, release to launch ball,
during game press to nudge table up
/
– nudge table left (suggest use external keyboard for this)
Z
– nudge table right (suggest use external keyboard for this)
P
– pause game
S
– turn sound on or off
T
– adjust tracking (smoothness)
Enter
– turn score window on or off (turning it off shows more of the table)
Esc
– quit game
Important!!
– Before you start the game, run the separate program SETUP.EXE to set the soundcard to PC sounds or None. If you want Soundblaster sounds you’re out of luck since it slows the game way down and the sound hiccups quite a bit.
Important!!
– I couldn’t get the game to accept my initials using the XKBD keyboard. I had to hit either the Ctrl or Alt key and then the Esc key to get out of the dialog. If you have a big ego and just have to have your initials in the game then use an external keyboard.
Positives
: This game plays fantastic on my Nokia N800. The graphics are colorful and the scrolling up and down is smoo-oo-ooth! If you like pinball, you’ll love playing this and will probably want to get the full registered version with 13 tables and the Extreme Pinball pack with 4 other tables.
Negative
: The pinball table is too large to fill the entire screen and has to scroll up and down.
DosBox
Issues:
Because the PC sounds are just a tad laggy, I have to deduct ¼ point off the overall score I would normally give this game.
Overall game rating:
4.75 stars out of 5
