* ESP Pinball
Since the first pinball game was introduced in 1947, people the world over
have had an obsession with making a little silver ball jump all over a table, hitting targets and flying up ramps along the way. Pinball has been one of those true classic arcade games with ongoing appeal to generations old and young. While the pinball tables themselves have wildly varied themes, the object remains the same--score MEGA points by propelling a round, steel ball around an electronic and mechanical obstacle course bouncing it off bumpers, flippers, targets, switches, and gizmos at blazing speeds! Each theme has it's own obstacles and objectives, sound effects and ambience, and scoring system.
ESP Pinball comes with six completely different themed tables including:
Heist - Shine up your .38 Special and getting ready for a heist! Whether it's diamonds, cold hard cash, or expensive cars this table rakes in the big bucks! Great sound effects and lots of bonus jobs on the side!
Haunted House - Take a stroll through a graveyard to the old haunted mansion on the hill.. think you're brave enough to spend a night there? It'll take more than nerves of steel to rack up every last ghoulish point this table has to offer! Complete with spooky music and plenty of cobwebs!
The Jungle - Welcome to the jungle.. now, go home! That is if you can make it home! Explore the thick underbrush and jungle ambience while hunting wild animals and escaping quicksand. If you've got a sharp aim and don't mind mosquitoes the size of Jersey, take an adventure in the wilderness!
Soccer Star - Take to the stadium field and don't forget your cleats! It's man against machine on the green in this 'goal'-oriented theme. Each round is timed and it's either your goal or theirs! Score for points, more time, and
to win! Gatorade not included!
Wild West - Trade in your pinball for a six-shooter and bullets and take down the town's sheriff while escaping the law for horse thieving. And, after you're done taking out the law, stop in the saloon for an ice cold beer or brawl with the locals.
Pac Man - Gobble up points, avoid ghosties, and turn the tables on 'em with mega power-ups in this pinball rendition of the classic game Pac Man. Demo available, full version $29.95

* Pacman Talks for Windows -
Written by PCS Games, Pacman Talks uses the GMA Game engine to produce a
dynamic exciting sound-based arcade-style game. You control Pacman as he runs through corridors, chomping dots and avoiding ghosts. When Pacman finds and eats a power pill, he turns the tables on the ghosts, and when caught, scares them back to their ghostly mansion. Escape tunnels, high scoring fruit, safe areas, panic buttons, and many levels, help to add to the fun. Unlike the original Pacman game, which used a top view perspective, Pacman Talks uses a first-person point of view. As you run your Pacman through passages, you hear approaching doorways well before you need to make the turn. Your ghost detector should give you plenty of warning of ghosts hiding around the next corner, but you need to be careful, since some of the ghosts are fast, and others are smart.
Cost $30
