My favorite pinball implementation was a PC game that was one of the first to use hacked VGA modes to get a better resolution. I don't know what I found more interesting, the game itself, or the mode tweaks :-). I'll need to dig deeper to find the exact name...
- vikingerik 3y agoThis would have been either Pinball Dreams, Pinball Fantasies, or Epic Pinball. All of them used the 256kb of VGA video memory to display a playfield several times taller than the screen (a 64kb bitmap), and could scroll instantly just by setting the start-position register each frame. What table themes do you remember? If it was Android, that's Epic Pinball; if it was Party Land (an amusement park theme), that's Pinball Fantasies.
