| 6ixStringJack: Yeah... Early Atari 2600 game that Video Pinball was. (It's possible in Canada you knew it as the Atari VCS). It was the first system I had when I was a kid. Sold 30 Million units worldwide at the time, which was huge, but consoles these days can sell as much as 5 or 6 times that many. Gaming is so much bigger worldwide these days than it was back then. |
| 6ixStringJack: Was the pinball on your laptop space themed? If it was, that is the one I was talking about. You're probably running something like Windows 7 or Vista or even as early as XP on that laptop. I think that pinball game made it all the way to Windows 7 but they removed it before 10. |
| Brenda: I hit the link and it looks more like pong, which I've played. Now that was boring as all get out. But it was one of the first video games put out. |
| Brenda: I probably am as to the pinball on the laptop. My desktop doesn't have that on it. Just solitaire and some other stuff under games. I think I can even get a version of mah jong. |
| THG: |
| 6ixStringJack: Haha.... Yeah. Video Pinball was the title. Check out how bad it was: [go to link] Still probably one of the better games on the system. |
6ixStringJack: I wonder if you're talking about the classic Pinball game that Microsoft put in all the Windows until recently. I liked that little pinball game. I've always been a fan of video pinball. In fact, I think "Video Pinball" was the name of the Atari 2600 game we had when I was a kid, and that was pretty awful but I still loved it.  |
| Brenda: I bet they are. I can't remember what the only real pinball game was that I played. My last laptop had a pinball game on it. It wasn't bad but it took me a bit to figure out which buttons to push. |
| 6ixStringJack: Yeah. Those virtual tables were available on the XBox 360 and PlayStation 3 for download almost 15 years ago. The virtual tables they have today must be insane. I bet with motion controls and devices like the Nintendo Switch they could even simulate things like tilting the table, and losing your ball for tilting too much too. I always wanted a real pinball machine. If I had a choice, it would be either The Simpsons or Mars Attacks. Those were the two best ones I'd played over the years. |
| Brenda: A pinball video game from today would probably be cool. But alas I wouldn't be able to play it. I hate that as I do like playing video games. |
| Brenda: Huh. Now that I'm looking at the first image you posted I can see why you thought it was a pinball game. |
| Brenda: Tried the right click but nothing happened. I'm sure if I google it I can find it. |
| Brenda: The first one I don't know what it was suppose to be but it was slooooow coming up. The second one came up though after the first one. I will try that see what the first one is. |
| 6ixStringJack: Like you care, Ted. You've never met a black person who wasn't serving you in some way. More black people voted for Trump than any other Republican before him, and you're going to continue to lose black voters because they're onto you dumb white college "educated" liberals now. |
| THG: |
| 6ixStringJack: Did you see those pics? They show up on my side in the tags, but I don't know if you can see them. If you right click on one you can open it n a new tab and see it full screen. They're really large images. |
| Brenda: Oh, that's what you were trying to post. Not sure if I've seen pinball Wolverine. That would be cool. Think the one game I tried to or played was just a regular pinball machine. |
| 6ixStringJack: They did Wolverine too. |
| 6ixStringJack: Looks like that was 14 years ago. Can't even imagine what a pinball video game from today would look like. |
| 6ixStringJack: I was wrong. There wasn't a real pinball machine. I remember reading about it getting one of 4 Marvel virtual tables in some "recent" video game pinball. I never saw it or saw pictures of it before. Check that out... damn near looks real if it had a good frame rate while you play it. |
