1985 ERE Informatique (France)
by Remi Herbulot

Probably the first pinball game I've played.
Personally I never did like to see these type of games converted to the computer, and this one only brings me a couple of good memories, mostly from my childhood mates, because as a game it's fairly primitive, despite the captivating loading screen or the table picture. There are definitely better pinball games around even earlier than 1985.

What's the point of computer pinball games if they can't give you a proper experience of moving ball physics? Macadam Bumper has sparse gameplay - the table is very simple and short of bonuses and surprises - and the ball seems to have a mind of its own sometimes.

With its Pinball, Sagittarian was able to do much better in only 16K! Play that instead.

Dreary pinball game with bad physics and a poor default table to play.
The whole game lacks imagination as Allessandro says.
The table designer would be a major plus IF the game physics were more playable.

This is simply a poor pinball game with very dodgy ball physics. Pinball game be done in computer game format, Microball proved that three years later, but this is simply not a good example of it.
