    Hi all, I'm trying to track down the name of a very old and very simple pinball computer game,
    I had it on my old windows computer as a kid, but i've totally forgotten the name of it. I haven't found any
    pictures, all that I can describe about it is that it had 3 levels of machines, and instead of a normal drain it had these little
    funnels scattered around that would lose the ball instead if the the ball touched them, and it would be accompanied by this
    cartoony *slurp* sound effect. The background of the machines was just this black/grey void with no artwork.

    I can't remember exactly what version! I think it was compatible with a lot of different old systems, but I'm unsure if it was actually a Microsoft release or not, I just used an old computer when I was playing it.

    Oldest I found was epic pinball from 1995?

    I did come across that one when I was searching for it! It wasn't that one, the one I remember was even simpler! Thanks
    for the suggestion though!

    Is that the board "Enigma" from Epic Pinball? I played the hell out of that game back in the day.

    I only remember this

    Great game at that time!
    Rest of computerized pinball sucks imo

    Oh yeah, my childhood was defined by:
    - Pinball Enigma (above)
    - Pinball Arcade (always had to get to Rowdy Ramp Round!)

    - Williams Pinball Classics (this was the closest I could get to having "the real thing" at home)

    - My head about exploded when I saw Timeshock for the first time though. The first pinball game I had that had a full service menu even.

    Great suggestions guys!! I do remember Microsoft Pinball Arcade, I actually recently found a copy of that still in box!
    The distinctive thing about the one I'm looking for is that the ball drain wasn't like the ones on a standard machine, they
    actually appeared as these little funnel like things, and on a few of the tables there were actually drains in places on the field as well as the bottom, as
    an extra challenge!
