Publisher's description of 3DRT Pinball

From TLK Games:

3DRT Pinball looks and reacts like a real, old-fashioned bar machine. Each of the four tables is a complete game with great graphics, full sound effects, music, d'cor, and its own rules. It offers a challenge to all levels of players. Real connoisseurs will enjoy it the most. The ballistics are in faultless, true, 3D real time. The table can be adjusted for your best visual comfort, and you can even shake the table to a tilt.

Editor's review of 3DRT Pinball

• 4.0 stars

• "3DRT Pinball"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: 3DRT Pinball 1.0

For the most part, this program realistically simulates a pinball table. We're glad to say 3DRT Pinball is a snap to control; you use the down arrow to launch the ball and mouse buttons to operate the flippers. In terms of graphics, the application mostly delivers, although the dark-color table in the trial version sometimes makes it tough to see the ball. However, we can't complain about the gameplay, as the physics of the ball and the sound of the flippers made us feel just like we were in an arcade. Like a real pinball machine, 3DRT Pinball lets you lock balls, but we wished it notified you when you did so; at first, we couldn't figure out where our ball went and assumed the game had frozen up. The trial version disables some of the more advanced user-customization options but still lets you adjust the volume and tweak the table's glow, reflection, and dithering. Pinball addicts who are tired of pumping quarters into machines should enjoy this virtual version.

  "Horrible demo"

  by nsaintj on February 23, 2008

  Pros: I went to the "TLK" site to see what the other tables looked like and they're all basic tables, which is a good thing. I appreciate simple layouts of pinball tables.

  Cons: It took a long time to get the demo started and then I was stuck with an info box super imposed over the table. Flippers were incredibly slow to react (once you actually FOUND the keys to control them) and I had to use ctrl-alt-delete to exit the game. With some serious tweaking (or maybe a larger sized demo download), this could seem to be a good game but this first endeavor is a dog. I can only hope that they keep trying.

  "Decent grafics,Good frame rate, Simplistic, Good time consumer"

  by madgamer357 on January 23, 2006

  Pros: Like the grafics, good frame rates, decent physics

  Cons: Overly simplistic. Editor rated very high, and i was convinced. I doubted my own reviewing ability on a previous game after reading a editors review untill i played this pinball game. I understand the viewing is a representation of being infront of a table , however proved to be annoying. In addition out of 15 pinball games ive played so far, controls on the mouse??? plus keyboard?? strange combo

  "cheesy graphics, bad camera angle, delayed response"

  by joeonsunset on May 7, 2005

  Cons: I don't know how this could've gotten four stars. Besides the cheesy graphics and annoying camera angle, the flippers response is delayed! How can you play pinball when the flippers don't flip as soon as you press the button?! (Nope, I have a great graphics card, and there are no other delays or jitters in the game.) Also, the tables are boring, and the sound is cheesy too.

  "Bad Camera Angles,Not a really a good pinball game."

  by Rachet_21 on March 12, 2007

  Pros: Its pretty much free and has a typical small download size.

  Cons: The game is pretty much bad, it lacks good camera angles,and the flippers dont respond too well,not to mention just watching the camera go side to side causes me to get motion sickness.
