Gameplay screenshot

Pinball is a game which gives variable speed of the ball as well as variable power of the ball release.[3]

The game has five speed settings, and is played using five balls per game,[4] with up to four players.[5] The game can be controlled with two joysticks, and nudging is possible. Players can earn free balls by reaching certain score targets.[5]

The scores and high score of the current session are shown on the right of the display.[6]

The configuration of the board can be edited, and saved for future use.[5]

Development

Instructions are loaded directly into video memory so the "board" is drawn before the program completes loading.[6]
