Re: [Audyssey] Intro and a question about pinball classic
Hi Lelia and welcome to the list. I can't recall if it's the same in the esp pinball classic manual, but in the xtreme manual there is a very good explanation of the mechanics of pinball. Basically the principle is you have a table which inclines steadily in front of you. On this is a ball bearing which obviously will naturally roll down towards you, however you can propelle the ball up the table by flicking it with flippers, small paddles usually two situated in the middle of the bottom edge of the table. Going up the table away from you are various things your ball can roll around when flicked, targits to hit to score points, bumpers to bounce your ball off, switches which change the layout of the table or make something special happen etc. The object is to hit the ball precisely with your flippers in order to propelle it up the table away from you hitting as many important targits and scoring as many points as possible. the bad news though is should the ball fall to the bottom of the table completely past your flippers, or indeed on some of the nastier tables should it run over some specific drains, it'll be lost and that turn will be over. Hope this explains things. This is only the general principle of pinball, and really I'd advise checking the manual for both a full explanation, and also an explaantion of how the tables work. I'd also advise trying esp pinball xtreme, not only are the tables much improved on, but imho the sounds used for things like scanning the table audibly are more logical and easier to handle. as to which classic table is easiest, well I'm not sure sinse I've only played the demo I'm afraid, though I recall the wild west table as not being so bad, though that might be just because I've played the xtreme version in pinball party pack vol 1.

There is also a good description of this in the user's guide to the original pack of pinball tables. --- Laughter is the best medicine, so look around, find a dose and take it to heart. - Original Message - From: "dark" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 5:40 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Intro and a question about pinball classic Hi Lelia and welcome to the list.
