I’m not trying to be a cranky old man bitching about low quality movie recreations. That’s a post for another day, and another website. Spending $5-$30 on a collection of pinball tables sounds like a better investment than seeing a “new movie” that is really just a recreation of some other movie, which was a sequel to an original movie. People who played extensive pinball in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s are now adults and likely have some disposable income and can justify the cost. Part of this success is likely due to the age of so many pinball fans. Pinball Arcade has been widely successful, despite costing far more than a traditional smartphone game – it even surpasses the cost of a console game’s price tag. It’s great for commutes, a good way to kill time on slow days at the office (don’t tell bossdude!), and anywhere else you find downtime regularly. You’ll get many hours (or days) of enjoyment out of it. If you love pinball, and want to relive your younger days playing the same tables you did, and can’t drive hours to the nearest pinball hall, or spend $500-$5000+ on a couple of real pinball tables, the emulation that Pinball Arcades will have to do. I can see some of today’s youth thinking the whole thing is a sham – how dare a smartphone game cost more than $0.99 /sarcasm. ![]() The good news is, you can pick and choose what tables you want with costs starting around $5. To unlock all of the tables, be prepared to spend over $100. However, if you want the full collection of pinball tables, you’ll need to spend some money. They give you a couple of tables for free, and I believe they rotate those from time to time. Now, before you go out and download Pinball Arcade, do note that the app is not entirely free. That is quite the experience and one I miss from my childhood. Pinball Arcade is a good substitute to the real thing, but obviously far from the true experience of being in a room filled with pinball tables, with all the sounds that go along with that. The only thing better than having pinball on my phone, is having a real pinball machine to play on. I’ve since parted with my 3DS, and that’s OK, because having pinball on my smartphone is way better. The 3D feature was nice – a bit goofy at times. I did play other games on the 3DS after buying it, but if the Williams Collection wasn’t available, I would have never bought this unit. Yes, I spent over $200 for a dedicated, handheld, 3D pinball experience. I love Fun House so much that when the Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams Collection was released for the Nintendo 3DS handheld, I purchased one immediately. These are two of my favorite pinball games ever. ![]() I really only keep this App on my phone for two pinball tables: FunHouse and the Addams Family Pinball.
