I miss battered paddles and dazzling lights of the pinball machine. We see the occasional PC title try to emulate the experience, but so rarely do they captivate. I'd like to introduce you to Future Pinball, a free pinball emulator with a lot of heart buried in its complicated innards.

Utilizing advanced physics it even allows you to design your own pinball machine with different surfaces, gates, triggers and targets realistically dictating the movement of that silver ball. Don't be scared though if you're not into the nitty gritty, there is a plethora of different tables to download. We've bundled a couple with the installer for you try. Here are a few screenshots:

Important, once you start playing. #5 puts a quarter in the machine, #1 starts your gameplay and ENTER will toss the ball into play. Both the left and right shift will act as your paddle, and naughty little Z will shake the table illegally. Have fun!
