Hello, my name is Angie and I live in England.
I don't really remember a time before I was into pinball. When I was a child, I used to play the machines on summer holidays at the seaside, or at a local shopping mall, or wherever I could find them. I really like video pinball too. I used to play Slamball on C64, haha. Then Kirby's Pinball on Gameboy, Pokemon Pinball and Super Robot Wars Pinball on GBC then GBA... also on Nintendo handhelds I've really been a big fan of the other Barnstorm pinball games without even knowing they were made by the same company; even BRIAN BLESSED PINBALL whatever that was actually called, on Nintendo DSi.
I will usually step up and argue at people on the internet in favour of Super Mario Ball being fun if anyone says it's a bad game! I don't know if you guys like those games any more, but I still do! Let's see.... I also like Naxat's "Alien Crush" and "Devil's Crush" (thinking about the wandering targets), Necronomicon and its mad mad multi-multi-multi-multiball on Sega Saturn... and I liked Zen Pinball / Pinball FX - well, their older tables at least; the newer ones don't feel like they had much thought put into them.Oddly enough, I somehow bypassed Pro Pinball entirely the first time round. I am not sure how, or why. I just wasn't aware it existed until years later, when someone recommended them to me and I ended up playing the Xbox version years after.
My favourite real pinball table is Elvira: Scared Stiff. It's a nice table, not too difficult so it's good for a casual time, there are lots of features to chase, and it's got a lot of humour. I own one, which I bought off a fellow at a retro gaming convention a few years ago, and it's in my home office here next to me.
