Pinball

Pinball Games is a simulator.

This because some hardware features cannot be emulated. Pinball machines for example cannot be 100% emulated. Modern pinball machines use software and a digital displays, they all react on a physical steel ball on a playfield that is not captured in software.

When both PinMame and Visual Pinball are installed, pinball game is created that is a combination of emulator and simulator. The software PinMame emulates the computer inside the pinball machine (to react on bumpers, flippers and display the scores) and Visual Pinball simulates the playfield with a digital ball reacting to programmed physics.

Here is a list of great pinball games:

• Epic Pinball - A classic pinball game to dos (run fine with DOSBOX)
• Future Pinball - The second generation pinball simulator
• Pinball: INVASION 2 - A very fun combine of galaga and pinball
• Visual Pinball, pinball (playfield) simulator (instructions how to combine PinMame and Visual Pinball)
