Game video: Revenge of the Gator - GB

There are a couple of pinball games on the Gameboy as well. Revenge of the Gator is a nice one, that is not very difficult. For the random, shoot don't aim player you can still play for a while without losing the ball and score some points.
I think the game is fun, but the physics are not very good. If you are looking for a pinball simulation, this is not for you. It never stopped me from playing, because there is a lot to discover in this game.

Here a review.

Game Review: Psycho Pinball - Genesis
















If you like pinball and want to play it on the GP2X, you really should try Psycho Pinball. There are other great pinball games, but Psycho Pinball has all the elements that make pinball so much fun.
If you ask a pinball enthusiast what is the most important aspect of a good pinball game, he/she will probably say "flow". And that's what Psycho has, it has great flow.

Psycho Pinball has 4 tables. You can play the tables separately, but when you play the Psycho table you can reach the other 3 tables as well. That's an awesome feature that makes this game even more impressive.
Another aspect of a good Pinball table is the ruleset, you need to have a good ruleset. Only shooting for 1 goal and reaching amazing scores is not a good thing. Also here Psycho Pinball doesn't fail, it has a great varied ruleset that is interesting and challenging.
The colourful graphics are superb and the sounds are cheerful and entertaining.

I always like to add a nice youtube video of a game, but couldn't find one. I think that is amazing, for a terrific game like this.

Well for a month a video was present... but the user already deleted the video.

Game Video: High Speed Pinball - NES

One of my most enjoyed type of games are pinball games. I love the recreations and original pinball tables made possible with visual pinball for PCs. On the GP2X it is also possible to play some fun pinball tables. One of them is High Speed Pinball for the NES. Graphically not very great, but it plays very good. If you keep in mind this is the old NES and you can't compare it with a modern PC, the physics in the game are excellent. It has some nice surprises, so don't give up too fast. The game has a high replay value.
