[QUOTE="Tabe, post: 3121, member: 342"] Ahhh...PC pinball games.

Still a great game. - [b]Pro Pinball: Big Race USA[/b] - Love, love, love this game. Close second to The Web.

I'm sure I've forgotten a few :) This list, of course, does not include more recent games like Pure Pinball, Nvidia's pinball game, and so on. Tabe [/QUOTE]
