ESP Pinball Classic
Since the first pinball game was introduced in 1947, people the world over
have had an obsession with making a little silver ball jump all over a
table,
hitting targets and flying up ramps along the way. Pinball has been one of
those true classic arcade games with ongoing appeal to generations old and
young.
While the pinball tables themselves have wildly varied themes, the object
remains the same-score mega points by propelling a steel ball around an
electronic
and mechanical obstacle course, bouncing it off bumpers, flippers, targets,
switches, and gizmos at blazing speeds!
Each theme has it's own obstacles and objectives, sound effects and
ambience, and scoring system. ESP Pinball Classic comes with six completely
differently
themed tables!
. Heist - Shine up your .38 Special and get ready for a heist! Whether it's
diamonds, cold hard cash, or expensive cars this table rakes in the big
bucks!
Great sound effects and lots of bonus jobs on the side!
. Haunted House - Take a stroll through a graveyard to the old haunted
mansion on the hill. Think you're brave enough to spend a night there? It'll
take
more than nerves of steel to rack up every last ghoulish point this table
has to offer! Complete with spooky music and plenty of cobwebs!
. Safari - Welcome to the jungle.. now, go home! That is if you can make it
home! Explore the thick underbrush and jungle ambience while hunting wild
animals
and escaping quicksand. If you've got a sharp aim and don't mind mosquitoes
the size of Jersey, take an adventure in the wilderness with Busher Bob!
. Soccer Star - Take to the stadium field and don't forget your cleats! It's
man against machine on the green in this 'goal'-oriented theme. Each round
is timed and it's either your goal or theirs! Score for points, more time,
and to win! Gatorade not included!
. Wild West - Trade in your pinball for a six-shooter and bullets and take
down the town's sheriff while escaping the law for horse thieving. And,
after
you're done taking out the law, stop in the saloon for an ice cold beer or
brawl with the locals.
. Pac Man - Gobble up points, avoid ghosties, and turn the tables on 'em
with mega power-ups in this pinball rendition of the classic game Pac Man.**
. Great Ambient Sound Effects
. Two Modes of Play: Classic and Accessible
. Two difficulty levels: Normal and Insane
. Fast-Action Game Play
. Cool Music
What's New in Version 1.8.0
. Support for Windows Vista

Can you still buy the ESP Pinball games? I thought that the company went
out of business.
Thanks,

Hi Sharren.
The way pinball works is you have a table that inclines away from you. At
the bottom end towards you is the drain, ie, the place where your ball
will go if you don't flip it away, a little like the goal in air hockey.
Either side of the drain are two flippers, which are small flat peaces of
metal or plastic that flick upwards, and can bounce a ball up the table,
(though it'll inevitably roll down).
The table itself is full of mechanical apparatus all designed to change
how the ball moves and get score. There are pads your ball can roll over
to create more score, bumpers to bounce off, spinners that spinn around
when your ball hits them, parts of the table that might lower in order to
give you access to higher scoring areas etc. The object is to bounce your
ball around, making sure it doesn't go down the drain and scoring as much
as possible.
The esp pinball games for the pc from draconis are a wonderful simulation
of pinball and also have great explanations of all the things you can
find on tables, as well as some very funny challenges, I'd highly
recommend them.
I've not played the blindfold version for Ios, though I do intend to,
sinse pinball (when you can hear what is happening and track where the
ball is going as in the esp games), is a huge amount of fun.
