Epic Pinball is a 1993 pinball computer game developed by Digital Extremes and published by Epic MegaGames (now Epic Games). The game was designed and programmed primarily by James Schmalz and is played seen from a 2D top-down view. It was noted for being programmed entirely in assembly language.

[edit] Tables

The game was originally distributed on floppy disks in 3 separate packs of 4 tables each. The original shareware version (and possibly an early retail version) included only the original "Android" table. Later shareware versions and retail versions contained an updated version called "Super Android" (although it's still referred to as "Android" in the game, the table was changed to say "Super Android")

Pack 1:

  • "Android"
  • "Pot of Gold"
  • "Excalibur"
  • "Crash and Burn"

Pack 2:

  • "Magic"
  • "Jungle Pinball" (a tribute to Epic's earlier game Jill of the Jungle)
  • "Deep Sea"
  • "Enigma"

Pack 3:

  • "Cyborgirl"
  • "Pangaea"
  • "Space Journey" (this and the following table were designed and illustrated by Pixel of Future Crew)
  • "Toy Factory"

Another table, "African Safari", was included in the "Full Edition" (the CD-ROM version), in addition to the tables from the three packs above.

The shareware versions had the ability to add infinite balls by pausing the game and then pressing the sequence N B (possibly referring to "New Ball").
