3-D Ultra Pinball (video game)

Reviewing the Macintosh version, a Next Generation critic commented that "there is some substance to the argument that pinball is not a game meant for the monitor, but 3-D Ultra Pinball works, and it works very well". He particularly praised the fact that the graphics and physics both include elements not possible on a real pinball table, while remaining "true to the pinball spirit". Despite this, he gave it only two out of five stars.^[3] It received a score of 3.5 out of 5 from MacUser.^[2]

CNET said "For pinball players who like the idea of computer razzamatazz to enliven the game and suggest new playing possibilities, 3-D Ultra Pinball is a great twist on an old classic"^[5]

According to market research firm PC Data, 3-D Ultra Pinball was the 18th-best-selling computer game in the United States for the year 1996.^[6] According to Sierra On-Line, its sales surpassed 250,000 copies by the end of March 1996.^[7]
