Also, having this pixel art version of Haunted House is pretty damn awesome and the sole reason as to why I have the GBC version of this game in my collection.20:00:00 How to play free 'Windows 3D Pinball' on Windows 10 Granted the physics, as well as the visuals, are not anywhere near as solid as what you get on the PC, but I think it is a decent enough virtual pinball game considering what the Game Boy Color was.

While I am talking about the PC version of Microsoft Pinball Arcade, I do want to also point out that there is a Game Boy Color version of this game too.

They managed to get a license for seven tables which are, Baffle Ball, Knock Out, Slick Chick, Spirt of 76, Haunted House, and Cue Ball Wizard. One of the coolest things about Microsoft Pinball Arcade is that it is based around real pinball tables from Gottlieb. This is pretty basic by today's standards I mean we have stuff like Arcade 1Up making virtual pinball machines these days, but I still wanted to have a bit of fun by looking back at this. This is a rather old game and features some classic real tables so I thought that it would be fun to go back and see how virtual pinball was back in the late 90s. I have played a ton of virtual pinball games over the years and Microsoft Pinball Arcade is one of the more forgotten ones out there. ![]()
