Developer's Description

Play pinball on historic tables.

Microsoft Pinball Arcade is a collection of seven licensed tables that represent the evolution of pinball in America from 1931 to 1992, from Baffle Ball, the first pinball prototype, to Humpty Dumpty, the first table with flippers, and Haunted House, the first triple-decker table. A solid physics model and realistic graphics make for a good simulation of pinball on your PC.

In the demo version, you can only play Haunted House--register to get the other tables.

shift keys as flippers causes sticky keys; had to re-assign flipper keys to stop this.

This game is so real you keep wanting to bump and slam your computer like you would an actual pinball machine. The graphics are great and it's pretty simple to operate. Over all it's worth buying.
Very Realistic-->Wow! That Ball Looks Real!

I'm old fan of pinball games and this by far is the most authentic I've seen yet. If you know of anymore that look and feel as authentic as this, please let me know, I'd like giving it a try if available. But don't send me on a wild goose chase for Microsoft has one helluva good game here.

I did find myself "jamming" the keyboard into the desktop...sounds are all there. The demo is limited. Worth five bucks for the full version.
