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!

    It was fundamentally broken in 64-bit Windows for a long time due to a practically unfindable bug, so they just removed it.

    I think it’s been fixed or recreated now though?

      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
