For all those pinball aficionados who are lamenting the collapse of The Pinball Arcade game, I would highly recommend the Zaccaria Pinball program. The big drawing card is that these are mostly real pinball machines originally built by the Italian Zaccaria Pinball company. Yes, these are not tables most of you will be familiar with, but once you start playing them, you will find many to love.

Right now you can get the starter pack for $3.30, which includes 9 tables plus 4 alternate version tables! I originally bought the Platinum package for $60 on sale which included every table they made. (take a look at the list, to see how many I got!). as more tables were released, I could usually pick them up for $1.50 each. Compare that to the prices you may have paid for pinball tables for The Pinball Arcade program. Zaccaria sells most tables for $3, and you can pick them up for under $2 on sale.

One of the real joys of the program is the UI. This is how I always wished The Pinball Arcade UI worked. High Scores are tracked, you can compare your score with other friends who have the game, and there are so many different modes to play each table in. 3 balls, 5 balls, arcade, true simulation, you can play to see how many drop targets you hit, it just goes on & on.

If you love pinball at all, this game is a must have!

updated 10/26/20- The devs continue to support this game, releasing new tables on a regular basis and Quality of Life patches as well.
