Microsoft Pinball Arcade is a collection of seven licensed tables that represent the evolution of pinball in America. A state of the art physics model and realistic graphics make for the most authentic pinball simulation on the PC ever.

The appeal of pinball is universal, it pits man against nature in a struggle to keep a solid steel ball from rolling downhill towards the inevitable. Now, for the first time ever, you can trace the evolution of pinball by playing seven of your all-time favorite pinball tables on your PC. The widest variety of tables, realistic ball physics, and striking graphics all add up to wickedly fast action for current and prospective pinball wizards.

Key Features Include:

  • Seven real tables. Features seven real pinball tables licensed by Gottlieb and exactly replicated like the original arcade versions.
  • Superb physics model. Stellar flipper, bumper, ramps, ball and tilt physics give players the sensation they are playing the real tables. Ball reacts to environment with absolute precision.
  • Superior graphics. Perfectly rendered and beautifully modeled tables look like real photographic images. Table design is seamless.
  • Real arcade look and feel. The tables are exactly replicated from the original arcade classics. Feels like real arcade pinball, without plugging quarter after quarter! Full table view increases the arcade ambiance. So authentic that a supple wrist or table nudge can boost your score.
  • Complete evolution of the Pinball classics. Tables represent the evolution of pinball through the 20th Century. Tables from each decade portray the different milestones in pinball history. (I.e. Baffle Ball: the first pinball prototype; Humpty Dumpty: the first table with flippers; Haunted House: the first triple-decker table.)
