Developed by Atari, Pinball Jam arrived on the Atari Lynx as a pinball game.
Atari also made Checkered Flag, Dirty Larry: Renegade Cop and Hard Drivin' for the Lynx.
Pinball Jam is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to race and compete
- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
- you've played the Lynx hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you want variety beyond one or a few tables
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Pinball Jam is like
Video pinball recreates the flippers, ramps and bumpers of the real thing, often with tables that would be impossible in the physical world.
Tip for newcomers: Learn to trap the ball on a raised flipper to set up your shots, and look for the table's multiball triggers.
