9-ball
pool. What a great game! Pinball. What great action! 9-Ball Pinball, what a great
idea! Landware
has combined the game of 9-Ball with exciting pinball action
complete with sound to produce a really great game. 9-Ball
has flippers and fast bumper action that gives you the feel of the
pinball and be careful, this handheld game can go tilt! 9-Ball
has modes of play for beginners as well as game options that will
challenge any pinball wizard or pool shark.
The object of the game is to "pocket" all the balls,
scoring as many points as possible. The game can be played in
one of two modes whose level of difficulty can be adjusted by
modifying game "physics." For this who
"just" want the excitement of pinball, play the balls
around the table, sinking them in any order. Or, for those
9-ball aficionados, play in Pool Shark mode and sink the balls in
order from 1 to 9. Then, if you are really up for a challenge
change the difficulty of the game (either mode of play) by adjusting
game physics such as the friction on and slant of the table as well
as the intensity of the bumpers. Play by yourself or test your
skills against opponents.
Landware's9-Ball
is great fun at an extremely reasonable price ($14.95). I
highly recommend this game for pinball and 9-ball fans.
