1984 Supersavers Software (UK)
by Jim Scarlett

Another pinball game that never got far.
Mainly because it becames a bit boring after a while (dont all computer pinball games do??!) also the ball moves almost always in the same velocity and your actions dont affect the ball's trajectory that much.
It had a serious bug: If you pressed the key 4 it would "C: Nonsense in Basic, 1:6"
although it was programmed mainly in code machine.
The good thing is that it has 20 table levels to play with.

Keys:
1 and 2 for left sides
9 and 0 for right sides

Dreadful attempt at a pinball game that tries to be different by giving you four buttons for four flippers and abets the player by giving you very little control over an thoroughly unpredictable ball.

Making pinball virtually unplayable takes some doing but this manages just that.

Pinball games are generally difficult to convert into a video game, but I haven't seen many play as bad and as confusing as this does. You literally have no control of anything whatsoever as the ball has a mind of its own and the key layout for the flippers is so confusing, it certainly took me a while to figure it out yet I was still highly confused by it. But I did get a great laugh at the game crashing after pressing 4 while trying to work out the controls, should have read The Dean's review first, You'd think with four flippers rather than two that this game would be easy, believe me, it's not, nor is it good either.
