Tales of the Arabian Nights Pinball Review

Описание: Designed by John Popadiuk and released by Williams in 1996 Arabian Nights gets a virtual emulation treatment with Farsight Studio's Pinball Arcade. The object of the game is to collect the 7 jewels and rescue the princess. The jewels can be collected by completing tales told by the genie. You can also pick them up at the bizaar, which is nice because it gives casuals players a fighting chance at completing the main game, and there's loads of features for both beginners and experts alike. The ramp is easy to make, and leads to an awesome swirlygigg that's fun to watch, and switches paths between the left and right in-lanes. There's also these spikes that come up to protect you from the outlanes if you activate shooting star. Pros can go for the far left lane to spell out Harem for Harem multiball. And if you're really a master, you can battle the genie while racking up Harem jackpots to stack your bonuses. But let's not ignore the coolest feature on the playfield, the spinning lamp. The lamp has two prongs that rotate in the direction you knock em, and can totally change the direction and speed of your ball in an instant, adding variation to the table and keeping you on your toes. Arabian Nights strikes a good balance between simple and complex, it's always easy to start a challenge, but the goals never interrupt gameplay because you don't need to focus on one thing to get jewels or points. The sound is really good, and the voices and cartoons are charming, so why does the genie destroy Baghdad when starting multiball? Some of the text is hard to read, but its fine once you know your way around the table. And when you do make your way to the final battle with the genie, you get to shoot unlimited balls with the plunger. Overall, Tales of the Arabian Nights is a stellar pinball table, and a perfect introduction for new players. Did I mention that this table is free through Farsight Studio's Pinball Arcade, which you can get on pretty much any platform. If you haven't checked it out yet you should. And if you did let me know in the comment section what your favorite tables are.
