Pinball Quest is a true hidden gem in the Nintendo Entertainment System library. Instead of just dumping it onto the NES Online service, Jaleco IP owner City Connection has created a modern way to enjoy and replay this quirky pinball and adventure game crossover.
Pinball Quest is just what its title suggests: a quest involving pinball tables. Your playable character is a pinball, and by using a magic set of flippers, you help the ball navigate its strange world and fight a series of enemies, obstacles, and bosses.
The music is decent, and the visuals are just fine, but the gameplay is where it's at. There is a good challenge here, but it's accessible to all thanks to a rewind feature and save states. You'll have no problem completing the quest with those, but you can find more enjoyment by attempting to complete the game as originally intended. An in-game set of achievements helps add to the replay value.
Recommended to all fans of pinball and retro games!
