Yep. This is a title where you defeat aliens with the power of pinball. But how does it play? Very well, actually. The ball physics in this still impress today, and the table design certainly doesn't disappoint. The graphics are decent, full of aliens squirming around as your ball crushes them. There's only one pinball table, but the one you're given is excellent. The table's full of secrets, and since the action is so simple and satisfying (it's freakin pinball!), the game can be very compelling. However, there's not that much music or fx, so it's basically a great pinball table that allows you to choose your speed and your music. Now I know the value's sounding pretty bad, but $6 is pretty reasonable, considering how much damn fun you can have with this. Overall, this is an easy recommendation to those who enjoy pinball, but those who just have a passing interest may want to give it some thought.
Instead, you just might want to spend that $6 on another great TG16 game like bonk or bomberman. Just remember that this is a MUCH better choice than Pinball for NES!
