Damn my memory! Trying to figure out an old PC pinball game I used to play - GoFuckYourself.com

PornMD · 11-16-2010, 01:14 AM

Here's what I know about the game I'm trying to think of:

- The one table on it that I REALLY liked seemed to involve something like diffusing a bomb within a particular period of time...it seems like it's police-oriented, and I could swear the table is predominantly dark blue w/ red arrows on many paths whenever there's a bomb to diffuse (or whatever tf it is the game's about, lol)
- I'm pretty positive it's really old...like early-mid 90s. Also pretty positive it was a DOS game.
- If memory serves me correctly, there were only 2 tables in the game. There could be 3 or 4 for all I know, but I feel like there was only 2 choices of table in whatever I was playing, which may have been a shareware or otherwise limited version of the game.
- I keep thinking it's Pinball Illusions but the only table in that that would fit is Law n' Justice and it just doesn't feel like the table I'm thinking of. There's a possibility that it IS this table/game and my memory is playing tricks on me.
- Reasonably sure it's not Pro Pinball: Timeshock, even though the name of that sounds the most convincing to be the table I'm thinking of. Have looked at Youtube videos of it and it looks nothing like what I'm thinking of.
- It's not Epic Pinball, which would be my other favorite pinball game and the one I'm most familiar with
- Pretty sure it's not Extreme Pinball...even though Urban Chaos would seem like a possibility, it doesn't look anything like the table I'm thinking of.
- Pretty sure it's not Balls of Steel though again it has a table possibly similar to what I'm thinking, Firestorm, that doesn't look like what I'm thinking of either
- Absolute Pinball, while a familiar sounding title and from the make of Pinball Illusions which is the game I keep going back to, doesn't have any table that sounds like the one I like. Ditto with Pinball Dreams, Pinball Dreams 2, Pinball Fantasies.

So it's basically either Pinball Illusions and my memory of the game is completely different than the game plays for me now, or there's a game I'm completely missing in my search thus far. I know my memory is at least playing SOME tricks on me because "Enforcer" keeps coming to mind, and I'm pretty sure that's only because one of my other favorite really old games was MegaRace where the "host" in it constantly refers to you as "Enforcer". This is driving me fucking insane.

Anyone have a clue as to the answer?

Sounds like Balls of Steel to me.

Things lead me to think that, and unfortunately I can't find a video of Firestorm in it which is the only table that'd fit what I'm thinking of AFAIK, but it's a Win95 game and I'm pretty sure the game I'm thinking of is DOS. For as popular of a game as it is, I'm surprised there's no video of that table on YouTube. :/ I may just find a full download and play it to see if it is it.

i used to love pinball games, the best one was by far Psycho Pinball. It was fast as hell, in 2d scrolling up and down the screen. Dont think you mean that one though
