Score 3020 is a sad case ...

A very good idea very poorly implemented !

A pinball multi-screen simulator which is sadly not much cop. The screen layouts are mostly confusing and the ball seems to go around at random. Pinball is a mostly physical game in itself, and a software simulation of it must be convincing in terms of speed, inertia etc., but there's no real "feel" of such features here. One of Topo Soft's most disappointing games.

The game is an idea, but it wasn't properly implemented nor enough studied.

So, there is no game, no quantum.. is a fraud.

Erbe Software was the big distributor company of videogames from Spain. TopoSoft was a subdivision of games development.. with a front man.

Big boss at ErbeSoftware had whimsical thoughts of a Pinball destroying tanks and being a war action game.. and being this a potential good idea.. the arse-licking personality of TopoSoft front man/director ruined the development of the game. He didn't realize that he had to let real workers programmers and designers do a proper design for gameplay and development..

The game idea is attractive, but development lacked real direction.

I didn't have much hope for this game given its low original score and its low scores here, and it wasn't long before I could see why. Holy shit what a mess! The idea of a multi-room pinball game is nifty but my god the execution and more specifically the ball physics! What a disaster! The ball just moves randomly around the table at free will which offers no proper feeling of being a pinball game. For this to be published by Topo Soft, one of the more highly respected publishers in Spain, is the real tipping point. I will be surprised if I come across a worse Topo Soft game than this.

A good idea badly implemented. This is basically a pinball game mixed with a sort of war game, at least theoretically. In it's core it's just a pinball game, the rest doesn't matter much, because it's out of your hands. You just control the two handles, has in all pinball games and hope for the ball to the destroy enemy lines. And hope is the right word, because the ball appears to move at it's will, randomly. Also each time you move to a different screen and return back the enemies destroyed get back to life. Pretty annoying. Are they zombies machines?
