Pinball really isn’t a bad little pinball game. It’s some simple, brainless fun. The board layout and physics are OK, the game has a decent feel to it. Problem is, there’s only one board – though it has two tiers and you can sometimes pop into some bonus room where Mario (looking at his most slovenly I might add, he really looks like Ron Jeremy in this one) plays a sort of Breakout with your ball while Pauline is entombed in the attic and runs around frantically as she slowly dies of oxygen deprivation …. anyway, it gets old pretty fast. Hard to justify spending $5 on a download of this, or any amount of $, unless you’re fabulously well off.
