The play itself requires more awareness of everything going on, beyond simply tracking the ball, than do most computer pinball games. The only drawback in the gameplay is that, when a player triggers a complex animation, there is a small pause in the action even on very fast computers.

The graphics in this game are excellent -- much more detailed, textured and vibrant than in most pinball games. The moving characters that serve as targets are consistently done in a whimsical cartoon format, adding to the overarching tone of fun rather than fright. The audio in the game -- both the music and the sound effects -- is raucous, addictive and wacky. One can easily adjust the volume of the background tunes, noises and voices through a well-designed control panel.

One could honestly say that without a sound card, the game would be relatively lifeless. The included printed manual is about the sketchiest I have encountered, providing instructions only on how to install the game and how to get technical support.

This deficiency, which is becoming all too typical in today's games, is more than compensated for by a superb online manual incorporated into the game. Instead of just creating a bunch of help screens filled with text, Sierra has gone to some length to make this manual a fun place to browse. The narrated guided tour is a particular delight. It should be clear at this point that playing this game is a real thrill, and even those who do not generally get hooked on pinball will love its playful sense of fun.
