A long time ago, Epic MegaGames and Digital Extremes
                      proved they were good at pinball. Remember Epic
Pinball?. With Extreme
                                            Pinball, they've done it
                                            again.

                                            The shareware version comes with a table called
                                             Rock Fantasy (look at thepicture). Here, your job is
                                             to help a rock band on their way to stardom. Get record
                                             contracts, play musicvideos, collect ticket money etc.
 
                      The animated arcade style
                      3D dotmation scoreboard (description taken from
                      advertisement) helps a lot in creating the right atmosphere.
                      It looks much like the real thing. Here you get tips and
                      instructions presented along with nice animations. As in
                      every decent pinball game, there are lots of bonuses to
                      collect. To do it, however, requires skill and fast
                      reflections. To get the really big points, it's necessary to hit
                      multiple targets in a certain order.

                      Take a look at the picture. See the TV? During play it
                      shows different screens (depending on what you do) and
                      even a video. And take a look at the top of the table. See
                      the guitar? It is animated. These and other details add a lot
                      to the atmosphere. Of course, there are also blinking
                      lights, samples and background music. The music is of
                      course rock music.

                      Most of the time, you only have one ball playing the same
                      time, however, it's possible to get another. If you're good,
                      you'll manage not to loose it in the following 10 seconds.
                      The balls are texture mapped and look pretty good. If you
                      "sell" a lot of records the ball changes to an LP etc.

                      Extreme Pinball has a few drawbacks, such as no winning
                      situations. Too often, whatever you do - you loose the
                      ball. Somtimes you'll get a new ball, though. Anyway, it's
                      a drawback.

                      If you register Extreme Pinball, you'll get three more
                      levels. You can also go to a retail store and buy the
                      registered version. Epic MegaGames and Electronic Arts
                      cooperate in distributing the game.

                      Because of excellent graphics, heart pumping rock music,
                      lots of nifty details and gameplay, Extreme Pinball is a
                      great game. It gives you the right pinball feeling.
