Pro Pinball: The Web is the first in a series of four pinball computer games developed by Cunning Development and produced by Empire Interactive, released between 1996 and 2000. The four games of the series are The Web, Timeshock!, Big Race USA, and Fantastic Journey. Each game features one table, with the theme suggested by the title.

The series is notable for using graphics pre-rendered from an intricate 3D model.[citation needed] Consequently, the games had graphics above and beyond other popular pinball games of the time, yet still ran smoothly. By supporting resolutions up to 1600x1200 the developers ensured the games would not seem aged when compared to newer games.
