Nothing is certain about the release of this pinball simulation of the real pinball table The Addams Family (TAF). Digital Eclipse stubbornly refuses to reply to any of the emails I have send to them. The only answer I've gotten read (I asked if it would be released and if so when) "I'm sorry but I'm not able to answer this currently." All I know is that a notice has appeard now and then on Digital Eclipse's homepage that they are working on this pinball. It has not yet been released though. See the below reference article link for more information.

A pinball based on the Unreal Tournament engine. Digital Extremes is the developers of the classic Epic Pinball and also of Extreme Pinball. According to an article at ign.com the title is due March 21.

This Pinball is LittleWings fifth. Now available in Europe/US as a Internet Edition (english version, released september 1999), the japanese version has been available since 98.

Boomerang is likely to not be a true pinball, maybe more of a breakout type of game. Still it is 21st who are releasing it, so lets wait and see what it is. Boomerang will probably only be released for PC. The product title "Boomerang" is likely to change, the futher reading link below calls it "Annonymous". The title was expected early 1998 and it is now 1999, no idea where it has gone to. I think it might have been released, but as I said I'm not sure.

Wildfire Studious final release, published by Expert Software. This table was originally meant to be included with the first release of Balls of Steel, but time and such lead to it beeing thrown out of the package. Now it has been finished and is beeing released as a separate table.

Fox enteres the pinball market. The following companies are involved in this way in the creation of this pinbal title: Iconoclast is doing the programming, Gigawatt the art, and Fox is publishing. First in what might become a series of pinball packages is this package containing four tables with themes based on different fox shows/series/movies, namely: Alien, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Fly and Predator.

This Pinball is LittleWings sixth. So far it (japanese version) has only been released in Japan though it (english version) is expected to be released in Europe/US sometime soon. A internet version is though available, you download a demo version of the pinball, register it, receive a key code and then you can turn the demo into the fully working version. No official release of the english retail version yet.

A new pinball from Wildfire Studious, developers of Balls of Steel and Devils Island. KISS is supposedly based on the same engine as BOS and DI.

Pinball package containing simulations of 7 real tables.

KaZe have so far only release pinballs for consoles such as playstation. Last Gladiator will be their first pinball for the PC (the title is for what I know already available for playstation). The title was expected late 1998 but never came, no new release date has yet been announced officially.

Pinball Package containing a number of different released pinballs. The first Pinball Madness package contained a quite good selection of pinballs, CC, LL, Tilt!/Hyper 3D Pinball and Full Tilt! This second package will include Pro Pinball: Timeshock!, Addiction Pinball, Balls of Steel, Full Tilt! 2 and the editor Pinball Builder (Pinball Construction Kit).

update november: apparently the mac version is now available (since people are reporting they have bought it), how worldwide or so I don't know

update 2000-06-20: mac version of FJ apparently finished according to the developers themselves, but noone knows where it is (at least it seems to not yet have been released), quite weird, has anyone seen it for sale anywhere (the mac version that is)?

Inspired by the works of Jules Verne, the next in the Pro Pinball series will be "Fantastic Journey", and will be released before the end of 1999. Yes, it is finished and has been released in Europe, I don't belive the US release has yet started though it can be ordered from Empire Interactive, see the first reference link below. (btw. It is Fantastic! :) There will be a proper release of the Mac version during the beginning of 2000.

I really hope I don't have to explain what this is, it is the third pinball in the pro pinball series, it is BRUSA!! PC version first released in November 1998 Europe. US PC version/Worldwide PSX version/Worldwide MAC version released Early 1999 (during period january-march).

Even later news on the release: out worldwide now afaik.

The latest news on the release: Pinball has been published so far in Europe in German, English and Polish versions and agreements have been signed for the following territories: USA; Kanada; Tajwan; Korea; Izrael, also a French language version should come out worldwide. Check the official STR for further details.

Desc: 21st Century Inc. who are all alone now when their UK partner 21st Ltd. went out of business have started to produce their own pinballs. On their list of upcoming titles is a 3D version of the good scroller, Slamtilt, which has been around for quite a while (if you have in mind it was originally released for Amiga). Masters of the pinball have been send out to the publishers (this happened around march 23) and the release should take place anytime now!
