The Pinball tag refers to a genre of video games that simulate the experience of playing a pinball machine. Pinball games are typically designed to replicate the physical aspects and mechanics of traditional pinball tables, providing players with an immersive digital version of this classic arcade game.

In pinball games, players control two flippers at the bottom of the screen or playfield to launch and manipulate a metal ball around obstacles, ramps, and targets. The goal is to score points by hitting various objects and completing specific objectives within the game's layout. Pinball games often feature intricate layouts with elaborate themes and designs that add visual flair.

Pinball games offer a unique blend of skill, reflexes, timing, and strategy. Players must quickly react to the ball's movement while carefully aiming their shots using precise flipper control. Mastering techniques like bumping or nudging the table without tilting (which interrupts gameplay) is crucial for achieving high scores.

Some examples of well-known pinball video games include:

• Pinball FX3 Developed by Zen Studios, this popular franchise offers numerous digital tables with diverse themes such as Marvel superheroes, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and more.
• The Pinball Arcade Released by FarSight Studios, this game recreates iconic real-life pinball machines from different eras in history.
• Zaccaria Pinball Developed by Magic Pixel KFT., Zaccaria Pinball features virtual versions of classic Zaccaria pinball tables from the 1980s.

While digital pinballs lack tactile feedback compared to their physical counterparts—such as feeling the weight of a real ball—the sophisticated physics engines in these video game adaptations aim to faithfully recreate the realistic ball movement and interactions you would find in a physical pinball machine. Pinball games offer an engaging and nostalgic experience for fans of this timeless arcade favorite.
