Life and work
The game's TurboGrafx version topped the Computer & Video Games charts in November 1990.[2] Electronic Gaming Monthly ranked the TurboGrafx-16 version number 50 on its "100 Best Games of All Time" list in 1997.[3] The magazine called it "the best video pinball game of all time—mainly because it didn't try to be anything like real pinball."[3] Frank Provo of GameSpot gave an overall positive review despite noting the ball felt lighter than it should.[1][4]
Provo stated the ball occasionally ricochets off a wall at an unbelievable angle.[1] Damien McFerran of Nintendo Life praised the game's graphics, calling them "really stunning."[1]
