PC Play Pinball

PC Play Pinball 1.0

This is a conversion of a 90's DOS pinball game called PC Spiel Pinball.

The conversion has 2D flat graphics and dodgy physics, but I still find it fun!!!

Many thanks go Ansgar Scherp and Joachim Gelhaus who wrote the original version in Turbo Pascal and released the source code with a non-restrictive copyright.

This version coded in C with the help of the SDL library.
