Rayder said:I actually kind of liked the US version, but the tables don't have proper "modes" like a real pinball tables do. I only liked 3 of the 6 tables; Knight Tournament is my favorite. Spinning Rotors & Amber Moon are OK too. The other 3 kinda sucked to me.
Shameless plug: (I just can't help doing this whenever video pinball is mentioned)
Google "Visual Pinball", also "VPinMAME". Nearly ALL the real-life pinball machines have been re-created and are fully playable on your PC with those two programs. I have a collection of over 700 tables. It's all freeware and made by peeps who know how to program in Visual Basic. Of course, no video version of a pin can replace the real thing, but these re-creations do a mighty fine job. ALL the sounds, modes, even the dot-matrix displays......everything are in the re-creations. It's a little tricky to get going at first (very anti-noob program), but once you get it all set up you'll have hours of fun. If you know Visual Basic, you could even create your own tables.
Here's a good place to get you started:

Not sure if you're being sarcastic but, well, no.
