This article is from the General Pinball FAQ, by Keith Johnson keefer@access.digex.net with numerous contributions by others.
Due to the sheer number of programs out, I have disbanded this section for
now. However, I can make a few recommendations...
Pinball Illusions has 4 tables, each with fairly decent rules. These tables
are 2D scrollers and kind of "cartoony." The best sim currently is Pro
Pinball: Timeshock!, which was the sequel to Pro Pinball: The Web, another
excellent simulation. Timeshock! goes a long way to simulating an actual
machine with operator menus and audits. Both of the Pro Pinball sims are 3D
non-scrollers. Finally, I wouldn't buy anything from Sierra. I just find
their pinball "sims" repulsive. Non-serious players may enjoy them, though.
There is a PCPin FAQ/review list posted to rgp occasionally.
