pixelpedant Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Yes, Micro Pinball by Software Specialties. It's rather good. A version of David's Midnight Magic was at one time planned, but was never undertaken. The author of Micro Pinball described it as inspired by Raster Blaster for Apple II. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+retroclouds Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) I’m not that much into pinball games on the TI-99/4a, but with todays knowledge and software tools a much better pinball game could be made. It could -and should if you ask me- include: Speech (the TI-99/4a does have a great speech synthesizer. I’m not thinking about the built-in vocabulary but rather making new speech with qbox or similar tools) Better sound-effects Vertical scrolling and better animations With Magellan some nice pinball maps could be made.

MaDDuck Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Yes!! Micro pinball looks like a lot of fun. I may have to try to run it somehow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyPilot Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 A pinball game using the F18A would be the ultimate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDDuck Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 Until I can get Micro pinball, I'll have to settle with the vaguely pinball-ish game on the "VIDEO GAMES 1" command module... Any port in a storm, I love pinball! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
