Product Review about MacPinball in MacFan

Picture 2Picture 1

A Thrilling Pinball Game.
Impressive pinball game with its realistic 3D graphics. All operations such as launching balls, shaking flippers and nudging are concentrated on the arrow keys, and could be played with only one right hand. Realistically equipped with slopes and lamp lanes, it would bring you the sense of speed and refreshment. Supporting one or two person playing.

Product Review about SpacePig in ATPM

page20_blog_entry34_1page20_blog_entry34_2

"SpacePig isn’t modern or complicated, and it doesn’t require much thought. Sometimes, however, that can be a good thing. If you’re looking for a somewhat silly arcade-style game that’s relaxing rather than frantic, give SpacePig a try."
