Release Date RRP Code

Virtual Pinball is a pinball game developed by BudgeCo and published by Electronic Arts. It acts as a spiritual sequel to the 1983 computer program Pinball Construction Set, being designed and programmed by the same man, Bill Budge.

Gameplay

Gameplay allows up to four players (taking turns) to play on either one of the game's included tables or a custom table (the MEMORY items) with a variety of other options. Left flips the left flipper, C flips the right flipper, A charges the spring that launches a ball (on some tables), and A+B+C tilts.

Workshop

In the workshop, it is possible to either alter an existing table in the game or make a new one. Use the directional pad to move, A to select a part type from the list, B to cycle between parts of a particular type, and C to place the part. With the Blaster selected, press C to delete an item on the table. With the Grabber selected, press C to pick up an item (to move it). Press  START  to bring up a menu where the table can be saved in one of ten possible save slots.
