Pinball is a classic arcade-style game released for the Nintendo NES in 1985. The game belongs to the pinball genre, where players control flippers to keep a metal ball in play on a pinball table. The main objective is to score as many points as possible by hitting various targets, bumpers, and ramps on the table.
The pace of the game is fast and reactive, requiring quick reflexes to prevent the ball from falling off the playfield. A unique mechanic in Pinball involves multiple playfields that players can navigate through, each with distinct layouts and challenges. This adds depth and variety beyond a single static pinball table.
One unusual idea in this NES version is the use of scrolling screens to simulate a larger pinball table, which was uncommon at the time. The game’s distinctive feature lies in its attempt to recreate the pinball experience digitally while maintaining the tactile excitement of physical pinball machines.
