The world’s most popular realistic pinball simulation has been completely rebuilt for Mac
Featuring the first of the ULTRA editions – Pro Pinball: Timeshock!
Barnstorm Games today announced that Pro Pinball Ultra, based on the classic hit game, Pro Pinball, is now available in the Mac App Store and features in Apple’s New Apps and Games We Love section. The game initially launched on iOS, Android and then Steam, following a successful Kickstarter campaign that garnered the support to bring the series back. As a result, the first table: Timeshock! can now be played on iOS, Android, PC and Mac platforms. The original development team used the plans of the original and completely recreated the experience for today’s Mac owners, with the addition of some exciting new features. The table has support for 4K displays, access to the Operator’s Menu to customize the table, and now includes high, medium or low views with the option to have the backbox on or off. Pinball aficionados can enjoy further tinkering with Glass-Off-Mode, which allows the player to remove the virtual glass and move the ball around. Pro Pinball Ultra is available to purchase from the Mac App Store for $12.99/£9.99/€12.99.
“It seems fitting that Pro Pinball is our first Mac App Store release, the original game was a formative title for the development team and proved hugely successful,” stated Adrian Barritt, Head of Development at Barnstorm Games. “Using today’s technology we have been able to produce a game that has more features and provides and even more authentic simulation experience for pinball fans. The game really plays to the strength of current generation Apple Macs and we are delighted that this has been recognised by Apple with a feature in the Mac App store,” said Barritt.
Pro Pinball Ultra takes pinball simulation to heights never before seen, with multiple table views, 4K support and a new lighting engine that really brings the experience to life.
