Summary: Fantastic Collection!
Review: After trying out Big Race U.S.A. at a friends house, I set out to find the complete Pro-Pinball series. I found it with this collection. When I recieved the package, I immediately went to my computer and installed them. I am totally satisfied with this collection. It is the ultimate pinball simulation for true pinball fans! You will spend hours trying to master each table!

Review: Buy this one! It rocks! This extremely realistic pinball collection is a must for anyone who loves pinball. It has a great "feel" to it & I find myself playing for hours! The tables allow you to play a "new" machine or a beat up old machine. You can even increase the "angle" of the pinball machine as to increase speed & action- & you can alter other aspects of your machine. I would definitely purchase all four games included in this collection individually if I had to. Very cool indeed.

Summary: The best deal in town!
Review: I bought each of these games separately as they were released over the past several years for over thirty bucks each each and thought they were a deal then! I can't believe you can get all 4 for so much less now.
If you are a pinball fan -- a REAL pinball fan, you will LOVE these. They will make you think you are playing a late 90's Williams/Bally table. Super-hyper realistic doesn't fully describe how realistic these are. But be warned: If you are only a fan of computer pinball and expect 20 tables which play nothing like a real game for ten bucks, then this might not be for you. If you like the real silver ball, this is the next best thing!

Summary: Not Real Pinball
Review: I read the reviews that raved about this product but they were wrong. Pinball is about flippers, bumpers, and tactically nudging the table to get more play from the ball. It's not about inceasent boggie music, disembodied voices making pithy comments, flashing scores and pictures at the top of the table that distracts play, and prezel-shaped channels that limit maneuvering. About one thing the reviewers were correct: four disks for sixteen dollars is a great deal. The catch is the product is so high tech it isn't pinball anymore. I uninstalled mine and gave it away. What a disappointment.

Summary: PC pinball at it's Finest
Review: If you have a computer and you like pinball, this one is the quintessential no-brainer. This collection packages four of the best pinball sims ever produced and practically gives them away. And yes, these are sims, not just video games posing as such (read: any title by Sierra, such as Pinball Thrillride). My favorite being a toss-up between Big Race USA and Time shock (although they're all really good). Truly these are some of the best tables ever created for PC, right down to customizable features like table wear (play it like it was fresh off the assembly line or like it had been beaten-up by a 300-pound trucker for the last fifteen years), table view, and ball speed. The ball physics are incredibly realistic and smooth. Get in a hard shoot and occasionally you can even hear the ball leave the play-field and smack the glass. I would have gladly payed twenty bucks a piece for these great games (and a year or so back,would have had to), but thanks to this collection, it almost feels like stealing.I just can't say enough good things about this collection. Buy it and see for yourself. You won't regret it. Also recommended pin games: KISS pinball(even if you're not a huge fan [I'm not]),Sci-Fi Pinball(usually in bargin bins, about ten bucks),or Microsoft Pinball Arcade(if you're over twenty-five, you'll probably remember a few of these beautifully recreated machines from your childhood [Haunted House was the first machine to really addict me]).

Summary: NONE Better!
Review: The absolute best, hands-down! The tables are extremely realistic, enjoyable and addictive. I can't wait for their future games. This package is a steal. I still haven't experienced all the surprises and incredible graphics that await in higher levels/scores but I know they'll be great.

Summary: Deal of the century
Review: This package includes all 4 highly acclaimed Empire pinball simulations. The Web, Timeshock, Big Race USA and Fantastic Journey. I am not going to even bother writing about each individual game as many on amazon have already done so for each. The manuals in this package are on the cds. To get all 4 of these wonderful simulations for such a low price is truly a great deal.
