Baby Pac-Man

PS: I know...this is an old thread...and there were more recent ones too... but you can consider this a "shameless bump".

 

I for one appreciate the bump. Thanks for the information. I will certainly take the time to check this out. It's been some time since I played anything on Visual Pinball. Much too long. Thanks for giving me an excuse and reminder.

 

You're welcome. Make sure you'll update your PinMAME and VBS files too... to the newest version.

Oh, I appreciate the reminder, too! It's been forever since I last ran Visual Pinball, and needed to update PinMAME so I could play all of my favorite tables. PinMAME expires after a couple of years, so you MUST download updates periodically to keep using it. I'm not sure why, but that's the way it is!

 

So Kristian, while we're on the subject, what did you think of Mr. and Mrs. Pac-Man? That was the pinball game that predated Baby Pac-Man.

It's a good game...just as all the Bally tables from that era...early eighties. It was quite easy though....and the "maze" on the middle of the playfield wasn't difficult to master after a while.

 

My favourites from the early 80's are the Williams tables....Firepower....and Alien Poker & Black Knight...which I both recreated and co-authored in VP. In my eyes this was the "early peak" of pinball...which actually happened almost the same time as the arcade video game revolution.....Williams, Atari, Namco, etc.

 

 

 

However...the another peak of pinball was in the early nineties...when tables Twilight Zone, Theatre of Magic and Tales of the Arabian Nights surfaced. Twilight Zone was just as revolutionary as Black Knight was 10 years before...both technically...and gameplay wise....that's probably the best pinball machine ever made. The VP versions by my friends Scapino and PacDude are sensational as well.

 

 

If you have only played Visual Pinball a few years ago....I'd suggest you check out the new versions of the tables....I think it's safe to say the improvements in overall table quality is dramatic.
