Real pinball for your Xbox 360! The all-time greatest pinball tables from Williams®, Bally®, Stern Pinball™, and Gottlieb® are now together in one game. Every flipper, bumper, sound effect, and display pixel has been painstakingly emulated in astonishing detail. The four table launch collection includes Tales of the Arabian Nights®, Ripley's Believe It or Not®, Theatre of Magic®, and Black Hole™. Over the next few years, downloadable classics like Monster Bash®, Medieval Madness®, Creature from the Black Lagoon®, Funhouse®, Attack from Mars®, Black Knight®, Space Shuttle®, Pin•Bot®, Circus Voltaire®, Big Shot®, (and many others!) will be added along with online tournaments and additional modes to challenge yourself and compete against your friends. The Pinball Arcade is the most realistic and comprehensive pinball game ever created. Please support us in our efforts to preserve these tables and join the indelible part of Americana that is pinball!
Today's installment just has the Arabian Nights, Ripley's, Theatre of Magic, and Black Hole tables. It feels much like the Williams collection that was released in 2008, but the Ripley's table has lanes that are very unforgiving. The Arabian Nights table's graphics look a little worse than the William's Collection table, but still feels good to play - hopefully the Harem Multiball won't be broken like in the William's Collection.

I've been playing this a ton the last week. On the Black Hole table alone I've probably put in 6-7 hours trying to get a lower level score of 500k. Lots of fun and the instructions for how each table works are great.
