Pinbot was released in 1990 for the NES. It's based on the 1986 Pinball machine made by Williams Electronics. The game is way better then the original Pinball for the NES, and it has more variety and replay value.

GRAPHICS: The graphics are very, detailed. The pinball table has a more elaborate design, with more bumpers, buttons, lights, and colors. There is 6 different color designs for the pinball table as you progress through the game. There is unique enemies on the pinball table like little monsters that want to eat your pinball, planes the drop bombs on your flippers, and even snakes!

SOUND: As you progress through levels. Sometimes the song will change which adds a lot more excitement to the game instead of the silence of the original Pinball game. The music sounds great, but the voice samples of the Pinbot. Are really scratchy and hard to understand. I have heard better voice samples on the NES then that. Track and Field 2 had some good voice samples, that I understood.

ADDICTIVENESS: Pinbot is super addicting and has a lot of reply value. I don't have a lot to say for this section.

DEPTH: The game has a lot to offer for a pinball game. Even though there's only one table and no bonus round. The table is very elaborate and greatly designed. It has a lot of bumpers, and switches, enemies, and a variety of colors as you go through the game. There is also a variety of pinball transformations that your pinball will go through. There is round, triangle, and cube. Each gets harder and harder to use.

DIFFICULTY: The game is quite easy at first when there's no enemies, but when you start getting into later levels. Enemies will start popping up. Once you get to level 4 and the airplane can start taking your pinball away, it gets very hard.

OVERALL RATING: 9.5!

This is a great Pinball game that any pinball lover should try. The graphics are great and the game has a lot to offer. The only minor problem is the voice samples. They rarely come up though so it should not be a problem.

I have played a few pinball games, I only own 3 different pinball games, though. Pinball NES, High Speed Pinball NES, and Pokemon Pinball: Ruby And Sapphire GBA.

Nice review, although I hate the voice samples like the infamous Ghostbusters NES voice sample. There is even a laugh voice sample in the Zelda 2 Game Over screen where the super scary Gannon shows up and laughs 5 times before dead silence with creepy Gannon and the red background and the text has scarred me as long as I live. It is my absolute nightmare of Gannon's face. It scares me the most in a possible way. It is a really scary face and if I look at it, I get a panic attack, because it scares me so much.

Anyways, good review.
