6 LittleWing Pinball Games !FREE!

LittleWing Co. Ltd. is a Japanese Video Game developer devoted exclusively to creating realistic computerized pinball games. The company consists of the husband-and-wife team of Yoshikatsu Fujita (programmer) and Reiko F. Nojima (artist), who work out of Toyama, Japan.

LittleWing was first founded in 1990, soon after the marriage of Fujita and Reiko. Their first title, Tristan, was released in 1991 for the Apple Macintosh and ported to the IBM Personal Computer. Tristan was a simple game, designed to resemble early solid-state pinballs of the early 70s; even so, it was highly praised for its ultra-realistic physics and engaging gameplay, and won the Software Publishers Association's "Best Simulation of 1991" and MacWorld's 1992 Game Hall of Fame.

Unfortunately, LittleWing did not fare too well in Western markets, largely because their distributor, Amtex, did not have a major retail presence. As a result, fans of pinball games like Pinball Dreams or Pro Pinball often have not even heard of LittleWing or their library. In 1998, LittleWing opened up their web store, and since then all of their games have been sold online.

Except for Eight Ball Deluxe, all of LittleWing's pinball games are original tables. The rulesets and designs are typically based on solid-state pinballs from The '90s, similar to those of Williams/Bally/Midway of that period, with themes typically drawn from Western fantasy and medieval lore.

I've been trying the LittleWing pinball games on some newer Windows systems. Surprisingly, most of them run just fine. There are two, however, that run but have too much lag to be very playable. Interestingly, the two with problems are neither the oldest or the newest releases.

I should be wary of old small games: this "Loony Labyrinth Pinball" (p.s. visit MyAbandonware) seemed a simple challenge, but ...

First the installer didn't work. I run it using WinveVDM, perfect tool for 16 bit installers.

But the installer didn't go to the end: at the last step it claimed that a file was missing and I had to quit. As a result, I got all game files, but the installer didn't set the registry entries.

So, the game was almost working, but I had to guess all necessary registry values and put them inside the fake registry. The game uses an old and forgotten function RegSetValueA (not to be confused with the modern and used version RegSetValueExA) so in order to get the necessary logs I also had to add a wrapper to DxWnd to dump the values.

At last, I got the game working! Not all registry values are set properly, but if anyone wants to complete the job, he is welcome! In my fake registry settings the game is registered (by "gho", of course!) and uses the following keys:

Z - left flipper

M - right flipper

SHIFT - plunger

SPACE - nudge

The gameplay is nothing unexpected (it's a pinball, what else?) but the game could be an interesting gym for experiments with legacy audio (wav, midi and all this stuff ..).

In addition, the game comes with two different versions, almost identical. I checked the IAT, and the only difference seems to be the usage of an extra call in user32.dll. What for???

Enjoy.

Always on the pinball cathegory but this time a more recent one: "SlamIt Pinball Big Score" is a 2009 game that mixes D3D9 and OpenGL. Furtunately, this time the mix is not explosive like sometimes happens and the game is a beauty in high resolution and scalable window.

Pinball Tristan is a simple, fun pinball game. The toy pinball cabinet makes your childhood dreams come true, and the old-style mechanical score drum will bring back memories of the joy and excitement you felt playing both arcade pinball machines and toy pinball.

Use the Up and Down arrow keys to navigate and the Return key to activate a menu choice. To play a game, select New Game. You then see a second menu screen that allows you to choose from one to four players. Select the desired number and press the Return key to start the game. The pinball table is centered on your screen, and information about bonuses appears on the sides. Your score is displayed at the top of the table. During play, you can pause the game at any time by pressing the Esc key. You have two options after pausing: resume and reset. Resume sends you back to the paused game. Reset clears the game so that you can start anew. be457b7860
