View all the tables at once or get close for some whiplash scrolling action! Go gonzo with the 5 ball multi-ball mayhem! Squash scampering aliens to bloody oblivion!

Its authentic pinball action -- whiplash fast and finger-burning good! And hey, if it’s good enough for Duke... then it’s good for you!
Balls of Steel is realistic, first and foremost, with real physics behind the ball movement and table obstacles. Each table behaves like you'd expect it to. On top of that, there are many special effects and table animations. Rock out to event-triggered music, and go wild about characters that speak during the gameplay, to you and to each other. Balls of Steel! More tables! More Duke! More balls!Show more

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.
Dragon's RevengeDragon's Revenge is a sequel to Dragon's Fury (Devil's Crush MD).
The table for this fantasy pinball game is three screens tall with medieval and dragon graphics. Each of the three screens has a pair of flippers at the bottom and the table elements are all animated and numerous monsters roam the screen.
The object is to hit wandering monsters and certain groups of creatures to open up the gateway to a sub-level. The single screen sub levels offer multi-ball play and are the key to scoring high.Action Fantasy Historical

Pokémon PinballThere are two tables in the game, red and blue. Each table has its own details and gameplay elements.
Each table has different "locations" that you play, which determine which Pokémon are available for capture. A subset of available locations are displayed slot-machine style in the beginning of a game, and pressing A will select your starting location and launch the first ball into play. After that, each table has its own mechanism for advancing to the next location, including the locations not available at the start of the game.
"Catch Mode," when activated, starts a 2 minute window of opportunity where you can attempt to capture a Pokémon. Once you activate "catch mode," you must hit the pop bumpers 6 times. Each hit unlocks 1/6 of an image of the Pokémon currently up for capture. Once the image is complete, the Pokémon appears on the table, where it must be hit 4 times with the ball to capture it.
"Evolution Mode," when activated, starts a 2 minute window of opportunity where you select a captured Pokémon (from the current game in progress only) and attempt to evolve it into another form. This is the only way to add the evolved form to your Pokédex. Once you select a Pokémon, you must hit targets on the playfield. There are up to 6 targets, but only 3 of them have items in them you need to evolve a Pokémon. The others create a time-wasting sequence before you can hit targets again. If you hit a target with an item, the item appears on the playfield and must be collected with the ball. Once you've collected 3 items, the hole in the center of the board opens up. Sinking the ball in the hole successfully evolves the Pokémon.Fantasy
