Multi-player Pinball?

I was a big fan of the silver ball when I was a kid. Hours and hours spent in cafes and arcades.
I really miss the Pinball in Win 7 (MS couldn't be bothered to code a 64-bit version, it seems).

That shouldn't stop you from installing a 32-bit version ;).

As it happens, I was looking around this evening - Pinball from XP is available from third-party sources.

8) - see, you just gotta do a little diggin' and not take "no" for an answer :). 32-bit programs can run on 64-bit architectures, but not so much the other way round :D (i.e. 64-bit application on 32-bit architecture).

<chuckles> Yeah... I ain't as green as I am cabbage-looking, you know.

Reason I hadn't thought about it 'til today is I've been distracted by Win 7's Chess for the last few weeks.

Nice! 8) I've got Dreamchess, but I haven't really played it yet - [still] too distracted with Oolite :D.

Likewise, but I think I've only played one game with it.. :lol:

And Warzone 2100 which I still haven't even fired up.

I've played warzone a few times now - it's pretty good. There are a slew of games I've installed but haven't played though. Why bother when the best game of all is at your fingertips? 8) <shuffles off to get a new Feudal Mission :mrgreen: >
