I recently played through a demo for a game called Pinball Spire on steam, and it put me in the mood for playing pinball games. Unfortunately, and I don’t know if this is just due to me having bad google-foo, there don’t seem to be that many on Steam that catch my interest.

So figured I may as well make a thread asking about what the “state of the art” of pinball video games is. Some of the ones I’ve played:

  • Sonic Spinball: Very janky, but very unique and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone try to do anything similar to it.
  • Pokémon Pinball and Sonic Pinball Party: Fairly standard pinball games, tbh. They’re both on handhelds so they can’t do that much.
  • Demon’s Tilt and Xenotilt: Just really fun feeling arcade pinball games with a really fun tilt mechanic.

So yeah, know any good PC or console pinball games?

Oh, and can someone help me: I vaguely remember seeing a stream of a pinball game for the Mega Drive/SNES where the ball goes through multiple tables. Does anyone know what that game was called, if it even exists?

    Off the top of my head:

    • The entire Pro Pinball series
    • Yoku’s Island Express
    • Creature in the Well
    • Pinball FX3
    • 3D Ultra Pinball: The Lost Continent
    • Metroid Prime Pinball
    • Epic Pinball
    • Addiction Pinball

    The MD game you’re thinking of is likely to be Psycho Pinball.
