Zaccaria Pinball

★★★★★ I've played real tables since the late-60's. Zaccaria's pinball tables were around -- but a rarity in the US. I've played digital pinball since the early-2000's. TPA, Zen, Pro Pinball (excellent), Zen Williams on multiple platforms. Increasingly, I turn to the Zachariah solid state (also a few EM) tables for my digital pinball fix. Magic Pixel simply nailed it. The level of control borders on ridiculous. I'm playing on an Android TV Box using a 50" LG HD flat screen over HDMI and a Bluetooth controller. Using the graphics settings I was able to tweak the many, many settings (I mean really, what pinball app lets you adjust ray tracing?) to achieve just the right balance between performance and realism. The app is rock solid and gives you tons of post-game stats and leaderboard. You van even adjusts the weather -- I sometimes play during a lightning storm, which is neat. Unlike Zen/Williams they don't charge extra for "pro physics" (which Zachariah calls "simulation mode"). Like any pinball manufacturer -- the tables are a mixed bag. There are many, many, many offerings, but I stick with the SS and EM tables. Zachariah eschewed toys and gimmicks in their table designs, but many of their tables are works of art with innovative playfields and straightforward rulesets. Give me drop targets, spinners, and pop bumpers any day over 1000 "modes", complicated rulesets, ramps, and bash toys. My favorite SS tables are Time Machine, Robot, Mexico 86, Farfalla, Black belt, Hot Wheels, Shoot the Rapids, and Locomotion. Also, they are very fair in allowing you to sample tables prior to purchasing. Their prices for all SS and EM tables is reasonable, you can buy them individually for $1-2 bucks a pop or all SS and EMs for $20. This is the best real table pinball sim available on any platform.

★★★★★ Exceptional game! The most realistic pinball simulator bar none. Challengers can find me in any deluxe table on 3 ball sim. Looking forward to seeing if you have what it takes to knock me off the board.

★★☆☆☆ What the ....? Is it possible to play a 3 ball, regular pinball game here? It jumps from table to table, 1 ball (sometimes), I can't figure this app. Out? This is bizarre.

★★☆☆☆ Purchased the retro table but after game it always says failed to upload data, other tables fail to work in story mode, don't waste your time or money on this game

★★☆☆☆ The reason for the low stats is strictly because of the retro tables. I paid money to do nothing more than serve the ball. Each one is designed for you to lose and lose fast. I had a game where I didn't even get a chance to use the plungers because of how the table was designed. I feel completely ripped off
