Ultimate Pinball Extreme (Jewel Case) Reviews
That's as long as I run the game in 1024x768 and normal quality graphics. I have experienced none of the bugs mentioned by other reviewers on my 2nd-gen iMac running in Vista. As I said, this game is definitely ten bucks' worth of fun. Any attempt to go higher causes all kinds of problems. I have been having plenty of fun with this game. The scrolling screen mode gives me a headache, so I go with single screen. For ten bucks, normal 1024x768 is plenty good enough to have fun with.
Well I can't say I didn't try. Two different copies, same results-crash to desktop and autoreboot. The website offers no patches or technical aides. At this point the cost of return certified postage (as recommended on website after you are granted authorization for return) is going to cost more than the game is worth. A direct request to tech support only offered an exchange after going through the standard 'make sure windows updates are installed, make drivers are current, etc.' and no real effort on their part to help me trouble shoot. Guess it will make a pretty drink coaster. I tried installing and running under two different versions of Win XP with no luck.
Although the manufacturer claims XP compaibility the game will not play in single screen mode, it crashes to desk top. I do not recommend. Save your money. Even when playing in scroll mode, experienced extremely low frame rates(played on a XPS 3.2Ghz P4 w/6800 GT). Website for tech support is next extremely poor and uninformative.
I contacted ValueSoft, who told me my computer might not meet the requirements. The plunger goes right through it.
But the tables that do work are fun, and I'm hoping they come out with a patch soon. What they really need is a patch, because this software is buggy. They were up to date.
I really like pinball and I thought this would be okay to chance for under $10 bucks.The first game I tried to play, UFO INVASION, has this weird glitch where you can't launch the ball. (I have since seen this same complaint about this game in some gaming forums). Then they said I should update my video drivers.
I then tried a few of the other games, which seemed to work fairly well, then tried ALIEN WURM, which won't play and ultimately freezes the computer. It's a brand new Alienware and far exceeds the requirements.
