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.

You may either play a regular game of pinball on one of the game's included tables with up to three players or create a table from scratch. Games with the included tables end only when you lose all your balls. Left flips the left flipper, C flips the right, A lowers the spring to launch a ball, and A+B+C tilts.

In the workshop, you can either alter an existing table or make a new one. Use the D-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 you can save your table in up to 10 possible save slots. After a table is saved, you can play it with up to four players by choosing the MEMORY options from the Game option on the game select screen.
