Virtual Pinball

Ever get the urge to build your own pinball table? You can with Virtual Pinball from Electronic Arts for the Genesis. This one- lo four-player game comes with a number of predesigned tables and a usable software system that will let you design and save a few of your own. Once you've completed your table, you incorporate predesigned backgrounds, sound effects and music. Overall the existing tables don't have the excitement of those in EA.'s Crue-ball, but with the ability to build your own, this game does quite well.

Hot Hints:

1. Try your designs on others to test for trouble spots.
2. Play your table at different speeds to find optimum play.
3. fitter you've completed a table, test various backgrounds and sounds.
