Isn't there already a remaster? I came around this one from the KDE discovery.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not really a remaster, it's an open-source re-implementation. But I guess it could be used as a base for a remaster

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Who needs a remaster? This is perfect.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

What is there to remaster?

Are we going to have a community that is focused on gaming discussion and another focused on memes and low-effort posts? Or are they going to be combined?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

idk about you but this is a valid question that could be discussed if you werent so full of yourself

Agreed because I don’t like the OP for being a low effort meme, but also I feel like if there’s a community you’re interested in, just go make it.

Especially as people migrate off of Reddit and Lemmy grows. Anyone coming from Reddit who was interested in games knows there is a demand for a discussion/news based community like r/games

For anyone on Android, you can get the game here

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

There is also an open source version you can get on Github for android https://github.com/fexed/Pinball-on-Android

If only I could be as cool as that Dave.

It would be soo cool if they open-sourced this game at this point.

.. like why not?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Well lucky for you someone has already done the work! SpaceCadetPinball

Speaking of windows 95, any nostalgia communities yet?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Twas remastered in 2021 in the Microsoft Store my dude. Have fun

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just tried it, and wow, that is really bad actually. Genuinely much worse than finding a download of the original version.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you happen to know where I could find an original download?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You can always go check out Dave's garage on YouTube hes got a nice video on it and links to aquire it

Careful what you wish for. 2024 EA announces remaster of Zen Pinball.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No need to remaster perfection

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Pinball FX has some fun tables. Not free but a decent modern pinball game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Perfection needs no remaster.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ya know, Zen Pinball is pretty good.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I did play the hell out of this game back in the day, but there was an even older one that only worked in dos mode. I can't remember the name, but I loved that version.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure I still have that on a 3.5" floppy somewhere. I also have a 3.5" drive that could read it, but I have nothing I could plug it into.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

So many hours spent playing this game when I was a kid.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They made a remake for Windows store a while ago, and it was awful

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Will it have paid day-one DLC? Online leaderboards and rankings? NFTs? Requires constant online connectivity? Battlepass with flipper cosmetics?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like the crap they slapped onto solitaire? That was ridiculous.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nope. It's now bloated with ads and "premium" features...nothing is sacred.

solitare

After they remaster this, they should remaster SkiFree!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I played a similar table on Virtual Pinball X. It was a lot of fun.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Fuck yeah this shit slapped! I remember going to my grandma's in like 2001 and playing that with my cousins. And others like solitaire
