Any chance there's ever going to be more pinballs here?
In particular, there's some that are SOO hard to find, like 'cyberball' that the only chance I'll EVER run into them would be if they showed up here..
Despite the fact that I've actually got most of the pinballs ever made.. i don't have ALL of them.. and it's nice to get non-drm'd ones here... although i don't think pinball suffered half as much from that as other games.. they often do suffer the need-the-cd-in-the-player bug.. i assume these ones *don't*

Any pinballers here at all?

Out of a catalogue of only a few hundred games, there's something like four pinball games. For such a specific genre, that's a hell of a lot if you ask me.
I'm also surprised at how many there are; I would expect less too, but that said, I want more as well.
You can never have enough pinball games :D

Id like to see Slamtilt, Epic Pinball and Extreme pinball here sometime.

Epic Pinball may not be here for some asinine reason, but the pinball that's here is very good. I'm going to assume you have the Pro Pinball trilogy and the Pinball Gold Pack. I feel bad for you if that doesn't totally satisfy your pinball fix. Pro Pinball is as close as a computer game can get to having three machines in your house, at least we've pretty much already gotten the pinnacle here. :)
I would very much like Epic Pinball to appear here; Enigma was a fascinating take on pinball tables :o

This!
The enigma table was the only pinball game that held my attention.
Honsetly speaking I don't understand the whole computer pinball concepts appeal. It's fun in real machine, but not so that I'd want to play it digitally.

GameRager: Fancy a game of virtual virtual skeeball then?
I think I have that on my wii ;-)

But I'd say sure I'd like titles like Epic Pinball and Silverball maybe, but the 6 pinball titles available is a nice number (even if I'm not too impressed by Dream Pinball and Pure Pinball?

I agree, Epic and Extreme were among my most played titles when I was like 10 or so. It would be great to have them again.

I have all the pinball sims sold by GOG and I agree that the Pro Pinball series is pretty good.

But... I think Visual Pinball (www.vpforums.org) does the best at emulating real machines. The VP community is fantastic and has created some absolutely spot on recreations of machines.

I grew up during the heyday of pinball (1970's and 1980's) and literally spent every afternoon at the local Aladin's Castle playing. VP is about as close as I'll get to some of my favorite machines of the day. Oh, and VP is free (actually it's now GPL).
I agree.. visual pinball is bloody amazing.. it's funny though.. one day they just stopped working that's *both* future and visual , and could load tables fine but they'd not run..
i really miss tii's tables..
I agree that the pinballs here are the cream of the crop.. but they're hardly rare.. and any pinballer who has any serious jones for it would already have all the ones here.
It'd only that theyre getting harder and harder to run on windows as it gets newer.. and these ones are checked to actually *work*
My point was that there's some obscure ones that really rock.. like, say,slam tilt, and slam tilt resurrection..
..admittedly ,most of the obscure ones are that way because they kinda suck though..
