PRO PINBALL THE WEB VP PINBALL PRO
Pro Pinball has one table with six different table views (camera angles). Luckily, the music can be turned down.Īs for gameplay, Pro Pinball requires the players perform several different missions and tasks on The Web, with lots of scoring opportunities along the way. (Perhaps Interplay and Empire Interactive should have dropped the whole console thing and made a real pinball machine.) Unfortunately, the music is repetitive, and it ultimately detracts from the gameplay. The telltale replay "thwack" is even present.
Pro Pinball's dot-matrix backglass animations are great, and the game also comes through in the sound department: The flippers, bumpers, and launchers all sound like they're on a real machine. The only missing feature is the feel of the machine in your hands (the nudging controls don't come close to the real thing). It includes loops, ramp combos, and a ball magnet. The lone table, titled "The Web," has the look and feel of pinball circa 1995. Video pinball should feature at least two things: It should do things that regular pinball can't do and it should include numerous tables in one package to provide replay value.
That's all fine and good, but if I wanted to play real pinball, I'd go down to a bowling alley and play a little Black Knight. Finishing the mode also starts 6-ball Fast Frenzy as a postscript mode of sorts.Pro Pinball is a totally accurate simulation of real pinball.Hit the orbits enough times to corner the Dark Queen, then finish her at the center scoop for a one billion point bonus. Wizard Mode: After completing all of the Missions and getting Combo Mania, Power Level 8, the maximum bonus multiplier, and the Ultra Jackpot, the game starts "Ultimate Showdown", a six-ball multiball mode with a 30-second ball saver.Video Mode: Available at Power Level 5 various obstacles approach the player, who must use the flipper buttons to shoot down hazards while allowing beneficial items and points to pass intact.Updated Re Release: This Visual Pinball version.Take Over the World: The Dark Queen's goal.Alternately, shoot the Loop and then the Dock Ramp for a Super Skill Shot. Skill Shot: Shoot the Dock ramp after launch for the Skill Shot.The sequence upon completing Ultimate Showdown is reminiscent of the ending of Final Battle from The Shadow.Both games also reward Bonus Held after three loops in a row. Like in Black Knight 2000, the extra ball off of continuous upper loop shots is only lit for a short time.Additional elements include the Magna-Flip feature from Rollergames. The playfield and some of the rules like the ramp multiplier targets largely resemble Star Trek: The Next Generation, a result of the game originally being intended as a digital recreation of it.Shaped Like Itself: One of the Explosion random awards is "Explosion Ready".So much so that the game can't handle trillions, and the first digit shown is a letter instead. Since there's no Cap to Jackpots and spinner values, scores can reach the hundreds of billions and even in the trillions. Pinball Scoring: Can eventually become this, provided long ball times.Got the Whole World in My Hand: The Dark Queen is seen clutching the world with both hands on the backglass.Going Critical: "Reactor Critical" requires stopping a runaway reactor.Upon its release, The Web was lauded as one of the most realistic digital pinball games ever subsequent Pro Pinball titles have eclipsed it with their more complex gameplay, but the game still holds up today and is fondly remembered by many fans. Now the player must stop her by racing bikes, stopping a shuttle, raiding skyscrapers, and doing various other odd tasks until they can reach the Ultimate Showdown and stop her once and for all. This enigmatic woman is out to Take Over the World by infesting everything with her spiders. The nominal story of The Web casts the player as a motorcycle rider who has been sent out to challenge the "Dark Queen". It was originally released in 1996 for the IBM Personal Computer, then later ported to the Apple Macintosh, PlayStation, and Sega Saturn.
