Night
Mission Pinball is simply THE best pinball simulation
for the 64. Copied from the pin table of the same name
using the brilliant Pinball Construction Set,
Night Mission offers an exciting and extremely
addictive game.
The
theme of the table is of a night time bomber on a bombing
mission. Throughout the game there is the drone of its
engines, the sound of flack and anti-aircraft guns being
fired, and bombs falling and exploding. The table itself
is a lively one, with plenty of drop targets and ball
slots, and you need quite a bit of skill to get the
ball into some of these. The scoring is complicated
with heaps of special bonuses, extra credits and balls,
and 3x/5x scoring bonuses. You can also tilt the table
left or right so you can joggle the ball away from the
exit drop slot. You have to be careful though, too much
joggling and you will get a 'tilt' and lose the ball
and all the bonus points obtained during its use.
When
you start the game you are able to set the strength
of the spring, ranging from really soft to a superfast
release. Once the ball is released, the game plays exactly
like a pin table. The ball behaves exactly like a real
one and spangs about the table so fast that it takes
all your concentration to follow it. When the ball moves
extremely fast you get a 'strobe' effect and it looks
like there are several balls following each other at
a very high speed. The graphics and sound are excellent,
and the game itself is one that I had great problems
in putting down once I'd started playing.
