The glory days of the arcades may be over, but pinball lives on in “Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection.”
It is hard to believe that in the era of first person frag-fests that a collection of classic pinball games can be so compelling, but developer FarSight Studios delivers something special with this anthology. With a combination of smooth controls, a loving attention to detail and a healthy dose of nostalgia, the budget title more than justifies its $40 price.
Pinball enthusiasts will drool over the extremely realistic rendering of such classic machines as Black Knight and Medieval Madness. There’s a good chance that the playfield and backglass art never looked this good in real life.
