Decided to open my Amiga emulator and play one of my favorites from my teenage years. If you’ve never played this game, you’ll be surprised when you do. 4 tables. It feels surprisingly realistic. The ball moves like on a real pinball table. The music is very late 80s early 90s, of course!

There is an open source port that works natively on Windows, Linux and other platforms. I played it quite a bit :)

Interesting note in the project readme:

On 64-bit bug that killed the game

I did not find it, decompiled game worked in x64 mode on the first try.
It was either lost in decompilation or introduced in x64 port/not present in x86 build.
Based on public description of the bug (no ball collision), I guess that the bug was in TEdgeManager::TestGridBox

Oh wow, that’s so cool I almost popped a boner! Thanks! If you’re a man, I’m sorry. My boner isn’t for you, it’s for the valuable information about what the hell happened to that pinball game, which quite frankly entertained me in my office during office hours for a stretch. LMAO.
