Gameplay
Psycho Pinball is a 2D pinball game with four tables. Similar to many of its 16-bit rivals at the time, tables are presented from a top-down perspective with vertical scrolling, and broadly attempts to emulate the look and feel of real pinball tables as they were seen in the early 1990s.
With the default controls, launches the ball,
controls the left flipper and
controls the right flipper. By pausing with START , the player can freely scroll up and down with
and
to see the whole table.
