Pinball arcade vita code#
Our simulations now run the same exact code as the original tables with authentic music, sound effects, and voice over. ROM emulation is a huge part of the improved technology. Plus, we now have a bunch of physics experience and improved technology to make tables look and play almost exactly like the real thing. That was a huge challenge! Now, we buy all of the tables and take them apart. We actually re-programmed all of the rules from scratch. We took a lot of pictures, recorded the audio with microphones, and took notes on the rules along with gameplay video reference. When we first made the Gottlieb collection we gathered reference from the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas.
We’ve spent a lot of time improving the physics and the graphics of our pinball engine over the past few years, so we feel that they’re definitely worthy of updating.
Tales and Black Hole were part of the Pinball Hall of Fame games. Tales of the Arabian Nights (Williams), Ripley’s Believe It or Not (Stern), Theatre of Magic (Bally), and Black Hole (Gottlieb). The launch tables include one from each of the four major manufactures that we’ve licensed. With both PS3 and PS Vita launches of the Pinball Arcade releasing today, I thought that I’d share some details about our game and offer some general gameplay tips.
