Great pinball app...

Raymond23

37 real tables and a lot of customization. Likely 10 more tables to go. One simple request, could you allow us options in terms of sorting the tables? There are so many that it is hard to find the ones I want to play. Sort by table release date, in app release date or alphabetical would be helpful. Thanks again!


Pinball emulations

Pinman61

One of the best pinball games out there. Especially for those in the USA who may never get to see or play any of the real machines these emulations are based on.These pinball machines are from Italy... I wish there were more apps for the other European pinball manufacturers. Such as petaco,inder,euroflip,recel,maresa...and many others. Any one who has tried the pinball arcade or some of the other apps will like this..


Currently my favorite pinball sim

Solid physics, nice options, including regular and invert nudge direction options- very important. The worn/used table finish is awesome. Must have tables are Circus, Robot, Pinball Champ 82, Zankor, Stars Phoenix, and Space Shuttle.


Brilliant old-school pinball!

Top notch pinball app! Huge bang for the buck. This is a nice compliment to The Pinball Arcade.


The most realistic pinball to date on iOS

There seems to be two categories of iOS pinball games; those which are new digital creations that embrace technology unbound by realism, and those games which use technology to recreate classic existing pinball from the past. Zaccaria Pinball falls squarely in the second category, and is an amazing example of using technology to simulate and preserve a historical niche. So far this is as close to the real pinball I've seen outside of a pool-hall. The physics are creepy-real and tables are infuriatingly difficult to beat. The developers did not dumb these tables down. The original machines were designed to hook you, steal your money, then have you jamming more quarters in asap. The pricing scheme is a little confusing at first. What it boils down to is that you can unlock all 32 tables for $20 (Gold Membership). Its worth it. If you're a fan of real pinball it's a no brainier. There is a huge amount of customization available in the settings menu, from camera angles and physics, to table grime and wear. ATTENTION: The only massive misstep the developers made was adding video ads for a free ball at the end of each game in paid mode. These can be PERMANENTLY REMOVED by going into the preference settings. Options: Settings: scroll down to "turn off extra ball by video ads". The fix isn't obvious. Several reviewers have missed it and have complained that the game is a ripoff. Its not. Zaccaria Pinball is a loving recreation of a fading era of arcade gaming, and a shining example of iOS at it's best.
