Unironically the best digital pinball game, it was the right balance between fun and difficult.
I tried running it again recently. Have they patched out the infinite ricochet loops you can get going? The physics feel a little different
The original game was 16 bit and won’t run on modern systems. It had to be remade. If you want the real thing you’ll need a VM running XP.
Damn. Is that why? I thought modern os had compossibility settings for running old stuff. Let me double check where I got this thing
I think those are always subject to what insane optimizations the dev might have done
64-bit machines are not able to run 8-bit and 16-bit code while 64-bit mode is active. You can install a 32-bit OS, where this works, but if you want the advantage of 64 bits, you lose those very old (DOS and pre-DOS) programs.
Or you can play this port on Android
pinball-v2.5.apk

It’s a port! A native port! There’s gotta be a word for that. True port maybe?
It was fully decompiled and recompiled for this released.
