The Mortal Kombat fighters, plus several new ones, return for a tournament held by the evil Shang Tsung of the Oddworld. The action is one-on-one as before, and famed for its high level of violence and blood (other than the sanitised Nintendo version). There are 5 difficulty levels and optional credits, as well as the usual two player mode including same character duels.
The follow-up to The Web features a single but a very complex table. You have a 3D view of the table, with 4 different viewpoints. Your ultimate point-scoring goal is to travel through time by collecting crystals. The game takes in Roman, Prehistoric and Futuristic settings, as well as the present-day world.
The fourth in the Pro Pinball series, this game once again features only one table. The theme is Victorian technology – by building such machines as an airship and submarine and performing various tasks (such as completing ‘adventures’ by shooting ramps), the goal is to defeat the evil General Yagov. A multi coloured dot panel is the main new feature compared to other Pro Pinball games.
The table included in this pinball game has a taxi theme attached to it. As you slam the ball around the screen, you can pick up passengers, drive around USA, and get bonus points through mini games, all related to taxi driving. Even the dot matrix screen gets a say in the action, where you must crash into as many cars as possible as you drive your passenger to his/her destination, all in the name of points of course.
In this pinball simulation, you play on a table called “The Web”. With the help of three flippers, you must send the ball into the various openings, trapdoors, and ramps. You can gain various bonuses (such as several balls to knock at the same time) if you play particularly well. Some of the targets activate special missions when you hit them with a ball. Those missions vary from aiming at specific targets to playing mini-games, such as shooting asteroids. After you have completed five missions, you’ll be able to face the Dark Queen, the off-screen antagonist of the game.
Powermonger takes the basic design and concepts of Bullfrog’s previous game Populous, and places it in a war context. The game cast the player as a dispossessed warlord plundering his way through 195 territories on the way to world conquest. Several other leaders have the same goal.
As its namesake, “Pinball World” has nine pinball tables (rather then usual four), based on places around the globe – Africa, Australia, Far East, Germany, Hollywood, United Kingdom, New York, North Pole and South America. Players start the game at unique pinball table menu using flippers to shoot the ball towards their chosen destination. Each pinball table has hidden access to other countries. This is achieved by activating the relevant lights or earning enough to get bonus points. Bonus tables are specially linked to the location you are playing eg. Africa goes to Egypt.
The central theme of the pinball game Pinball Prelude is time. The first table is set in the past and features a dinosaur setting, with table elements being not easily recognizable as such since they blend into the environment. The second table is set in the present and at the same time the most conventional of the three design-wise. The third table plays in the future and contains five flippers in total.
Pinball Illusions is the successor to the Pinball Fantasies, using an upgraded game engine. The tables are Babewatch, Law & Justice, Extreme Sports and (on PC CD versions) The Vikings. These contain ramps, bonus areas and combo sequences to set up. All the artwork were produced in true 256 colors from the ground up for AGA Amigas and the PC, rather than originating in 32 colors on older Amigas.
