User Rating: 9.4 | Balls of Steel PC
I love pinball games for the computer. Bring them back! I don't know what happened. There was a boom in the mid '90s and then all of a sudden, they stopped. Millions of tables were released, most of which were entertaining... until you played one better. Balls of Steel was purchased simply because of the Duke Nukem table. I loved nothing more than to listen to Duke talk smack while I ran though an FSP the wasn't the greatest graphics wise, but a ton of fun to play. That sums up this game; not the greatest graphics wise but a lot of fun to play. 5 tables were included and 4 of the 5 were rediculously addicting. The thing that I liked the most about these tables is that the themes were handled almost perfectly. On top of that, you could always count on at least one or two multiball sessions in each round. If you were good enough, you could achieve a five ball multiball session. Theroughly entertaining. I haven't had a good pinball game come along in a long time and due to my limited computer knowledge, I have been unable to get BOS to run under windows XP with and success. If you know how to get it to work or have an older machine, I reccommend the game. I miss it tremendously.
