Are there any pinball games on the Turbo/PC Engine other than the Crush games and Time Cruise? Speaking of Time Cruise, what does everyone think of this game? I had both the Crush games when I was younger, but never bought Time Cruise because I figured "how many pinball games do you need anyway?" Played it for the first time today, and it wasn't too bad. The action on the main table wasn't all that great, but the bonus tables were pretty interesting (caveman pinball golf!?)

I'm thinking of donating one of my extra Turbo decks to one of my nephews. He loves pinball, mainly because his parents have been pretty strict about what video games he can play and so he's been reduced to becoming a master at the pinball game included with Windows.

Anyway, I thought I'd give him a pinball game or two, and was wondering if there were any other than the ones I mentioned above. Although I'm not giving him a CD attachment, CD pinball game recommendations are welcome too (for me!)

Time Cruise is fun and awesome. It takes a while to grow on you though. The soundtrack isn't up to par with Devils Crush, but it surpasses DC in the sheer amount of replay value with all it's bonus stages.

As far as I know, the Crush games and Time Cruise are the only pinball games on the whole Turbo/PCE platform. I love Time Cruise as well.

Yeah they are the only three.
However, if you have access to a GBA, I can highly recommend Sonic Pinball Party and Pinball of the Dead as they are both great.
