Ruiner Pinball is a pinball video game developed by High Voltage Software and published by Atari for Atari Jaguar in 1995.
Gameplay
There are two table settings:[1]
- Ruiner: Set during the Cold War in 1962 as a nuclear war begins. The player has to bring down the DEFCON level from level 5 to 1 and launch the attack on an enemy country while defending his own.
- Tower table setting: An adventurer enters a sinister tower to defeat the evil Sorceress. The player has to make her cast three spells to bring down her tower and then escape before it is too late.
Reception
While originally planned as one of the system's definitive titles,[2] sales of the Jaguar system suffered due to increased competition from Sega and Sony systems.[3] As a result, few players had an opportunity to play the game, substantially impacting its uptake among the gaming public. A latter reliease of the Jaguar in the UK in partnership with retailer Game brought modest sales, but little acclaim as the game was by then years behind current technology. A review by Next Generation gave it only two stars out of five.[4]
