Epic Pinball is the ultimate PC pinball collection in the true-to-life 1990's pinball style. Originally released as shareware on floppy disks, the first release included 8 tables: Android, Pot of Gold, Excalibur, Crash & Burn, Magic, Jungle Pinball, Deep Sea and Enigma. Later versions would contain an updated version of Android called "Super Android".

Not so much
- Only one table in the shareware version

Tips
Play it better
- Hold a flipper up to trap the ball, then let it roll down and time a precise shot.
- Watch the dot-matrix display. It tells you which ramps and targets to hit next.
- Use nudges carefully. Too many tilt the table and lose your ball.
- Shoot ramps repeatedly to build score multipliers before going for big jackpots.
- Practise one table at a time. Each has its own mission order.
