What is Pinball Arcade?

A pinball simulation organized around digital recreations of Stern and Gottlieb machines. You use flippers to keep the ball in play on individual tables, including the free Mary Shelley's Frankenstein table.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy playing recreations of real pinball machines
  • +you like chasing goals across different tables
  • +you want both single-player and multiplayer pinball

Not for you if...

  • −you want a guided story instead of separate tables
  • −you expect most pinball tables to be free
