An arcade game, whose creators tried to imitate as faithfully as possible the behavior of real, known from the gaming salons of slot machines. It is distinguished by superb high-resolution graphics and a fully three-dimensional table model, as well as an excellent physical engine reproducing the actual behaviour of the balls.

Pro Pinball: The Web is an arcade game created by Cunning Development studio. The ambition of the creators was to imitate in the most faithful way possible the behaviour of real slot machines, known from the game halls. Thanks to the three-dimensional table model and physics for the first time we are dealing with a real pinball simulator.

The table on which we are struggling is maintained in the style of horror and science-fiction. The net, which is braided, is crawled here and there by disgusting spiders, and above the table, the Queen of Darkness herself looks at us sinisterly. Controlling the three paws, we have to direct the ball towards individual ramps, loops and bumpers, counting the next goals, bringing us closer to defeat the bad queen. If necessary, we can use the option of shaking the table upwards or to the sides, taking care not to exaggerate and not to end the game with a tilt. Our struggle is accompanied by a multitude of colourful, flashing lights and neon signs of current goals, as well as a wide range of mysterious sounds.

What distinguishes Pro Pinball from other games of this type is its unique realism. Prerendered graphics in 1024x768 resolution and a fully three-dimensional model of the table make the game look very attractive in comparison to competing titles. A physical engine also provides a realistic experience, thanks to which we have the impression of playing on a real flipchart table, standing somewhere in the game room.

Pro Pinball: The Web has everything we should expect from a good quality pinball: kick-back, magnetism, multi-ball. In addition, there is a wide range of configuration options, such as the number of balls or the ability to set the field of view and the inclination of the table. You can play on your own or in a group of up to four people, playing alternately at one computer. All this with the accompaniment of the soundtrack attached to the game.
