Tristan Pinball is not very different from your average pinball game. The game is a little bit older than most action games on here, and it shows. The graphics could be better, but it is very realistic compared to the real arcade pinball machines. It contains many of the same features that you would find in these arcade machines.
While the graphics and motion are not as good as they could be, the objective of the game is simple and somewhat addictive. Though there is only one table background, which may seem boring to some, it is easy to devote hours to shooting for a higher score than you got last time.

Though there is only one table background, which may seem boring to some, it is easy to devote hours to shooting for a higher score than you got last time. The graphics and scenery of this game are not what keep people addicted,
it is the never-ending concept of pinball and the desire to compete against yourself for your best score yet that keeps you playing until the wee hours of the morning.
When compared to newer, more advanced pinball games available on your computer today, it has far less options and features, and far less table variations. However, considering that it is an older game, and one of the first simulated pinball computer games, it is very realistic and similarly paced to an arcade game. For example, you will find some of the same surprises, loop holes, and tricks that you are used to finding in a real arcade game.
The sounds, as well as the graphics, though they may be considered annoying by some, seem to be exact mimics of those on the arcade pinball machines that we all played with when we were younger. If you are looking to reminisce and be reminded of your favorite childhood arcade game, this download would be perfect for you. However, if you are looking to see what else is out there by means of pinball game options, and you are looking to download a more modern, advanced pinball game with fancy options and graphics, you should probably keep looking.
It is by no means an exciting or nerve wracking game compared to other games out there, but if a good honest pinball game is what you are looking for, it will meet your expectations and maybe even surpass them. I would strongly recommend this game to people who are into arcade action games, but I would not recommend to someone who is used to real life type action games.
