David's Midnight Magic

This must be the best version of computer pinball that I have ever seen. To quote the inlay card: "an amazing electronic pinball experience".

The pinball table takes up about two thirds of the screen. The remainder is for keeping scores. Up to four players may compete using the keyboard, joysticks are not supported by the program.

The game contains two sets of left and right flippers along with a set of left and right magnets. Pressing the space bar will jostle the table and give the ball extra bounce. Overuse of this causes a 'tilt' and you lose bonus points. The plunger spring tension is also controlled by the player.

The graphics are extremely good and very realistic. The sound is of an equally high standard.

The instructions leave a lot to the user and do not fully explain the game. It may be worth mentioning that it is recorded on a chrome tape and loads very well.

All Ariolasoft programs come with vouchers for discount off various add-ons for your C64 and include entry to a competition to win a SX64 computer.
