60 Second Review of…Adventure PinballTom's Review: If a T. Rex takes your balls into
his mouth, you're not dealing with an actual pinball sim.
You're dealing with doinking material. You know what doinking
is, don't you? Doinking is the act of killing time with some mindless
activity that presumably won't take long, the sort of light to middling
procrastination you get with Minesweeper or Tetris. Adventure Pinball
isn't as good as either of those; whereas those games are unadulterated
doinking that don't pretend to be anything else, Adventure Pinball
is posing - poorly - as a pinball sim. But it's a harmless enough
way to while away chunks of time in five-minute increments, thawing
Neanderthals, growing strawberries for cavemen, and watering daisies
for Stegosauri. Stegosauruses. Those hump backed dinosaurs. Whatever.
I would look it up, but I've already wasted enough time doinking
around with Adventure Pinball.
