I still have the CD of this game, though it won't run on current versions of Windows. It is a great Pinball game, with 4 or 5 different themed tables that are fully animated. Each table is unique and offers a different style of table to play on. The tables play very well, without any issues. I've played different pinball video games over the years, but none have ever come close to this one. I would love to have the ability to play this game again, whether as a digital version that is updated for newer Windows versions, or a patch to fix it for my CD copy. Anyone who likes pinball games will probably love this game.
No kidding if it becomes true. Since childhood in the 90s and 00s, this game was run on our first computers. After the night, dad played, and I looked secretly instead of sleeping. Now there are great difficulties to play on new equipment - and I would certainly be stuck for many hours. The table with Duke rules, in addition to the original voice - something beautiful!
I've been playing this game with my mum and my brother since it came out, I still have the CD for it, though unfortunately I can't get it to run on modern operating systems. My favourite table isn't in the Steam version, which is the Duke Nukem table The game has great physics that hold up even today and it's not prone to being unfair or having janky physics It's a wonderful game, and I'd hate to see it lost.

Super Monkey BallSuper Monkey Ball is a 2001 platform party video game developed by Amusement Vision and published by Sega. The game debuted in Japan at the 2001 Amusement Operators Union trade show as Monkey Ball, an arcade cabinet running on Sega's NAOMI hardware and controlled with a distinctive banana-shaped analog stick. Due to the failure of Sega's Dreamcast home console and the company's subsequent restructuring, an enhanced port dubbed Super Monkey Ball was released as a launch title for the GameCube in late 2001, garnering interest as Sega's first game published for a Nintendo home console.
Conceived by Amusement Vision head Toshihiro Nagoshi, Super Monkey Ball involves guiding a transparent ball containing one of four monkeys—AiAi, MeeMee, Baby, and GonGon—across a series of maze-like platforms. The player must reach the goal without falling off or letting the timer reach zero to advance to the next stage. There are also several multiplayer modes: independent minigames as well as extensions of the main single-player game.Party
