Pro Pinball: Timeshock! - The ULTRA Edition Description
Pro Pinball: Timeshock! - The ULTRA Edition is a renewed and remastered edition of one of the highest-rated computer simulations of pinball in history, which premiered in 1997. Despite the passage of time, the Pro Pinball series is still an unrivalled model in its genre, delighting with its prerendered graphics, realism and physical engine, as well as countless configuration options to customize the flipchart to your preferences. The reactivation of the series is largely the responsibility of the authors of the original, focused around the new Silverball studio, which has been producing pinballs for the Nintendo DS platform for several years now.
The new version of Timeshock! is a faithfully reproduced original table, built from scratch on a new pinion. The most visible change is, of course, heavily tuned graphics, supporting resolutions up to 1080x1920 (portrait mode Full HD). In accordance with current standards, advanced graphics effects have also been implemented, supported by the latest graphics cards. Following the best traditions of the series, the table is filled with various types of ramps, spinners, bumpers and magnets. It also offers us hundreds of mini-games played on a rebuilt and improved display.
A new option introduced by the authors is the so-called glass-off mode, which allows you to get to know the nooks and crannies of the flippered table thanks to the free operation of the ball, controlled by the mouse. The menu allows you to experiment in an almost unlimited way with the game settings, such as the number of balls, the slope of the table, the force of the paws and bumpers, and even the wear and tear of individual mechanical elements of the table. The results of our games go to a completely new online scoreboard. Like the original, it is of course possible to play with up to 4 people at one computer, in the classic hot chair mode.
