Overview
I've had a fascination with pinball machines since I was a kid. Even when video
arcades came along I still considered pinball to be more fun (although at that
time I started getting heavily into home computer games too). I could probably
afford a real pinball machine by now but just don't have the space to put it.
So instead I collect and play computer pinball games. This section of my site
is about them.
This page contains my top four highscores and game stats achieved with StarPlay
Productions' Crystal Caliburn and
Loony Labyrinth for Windows Pinball. Both simulations
allow the player to save the top four scores to a file using an authentication
feature and compete for t-shirts and honor in a monthly and annual contest
sponsored by the company. Also game stats and scores can be recorded in a log
file which I've disected to create additional stats.
Then there are my personal reviews of many of
the pinball computer games and you can explore other sites about both computer pinball and
the real thing in the pinball links section.
