    This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.

    Psycho Pinball is a pinball game developed and published by Codemasters for the Sega Mega Drive (and DOS-based computers). The game was only released in Europe and Australia, with a US version planned for release by GameTek, which never materialised.

    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, Down launches the ball, Left controls the left flipper and C controls the right flipper. By pausing with  START , the player can freely scroll up and down with Up and Down to see the whole table.

    Tables
