Everything about Galactic Pinball

1995 video game

Galactic Pinball is a 1995 pinball video game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Virtual Boy. The game was released on July 21, 1995 in Japan and on August 14, 1995 in the United States. It is one of five launch games for the Virtual Boy, along with Mario's Tennis, Red Alarm, Teleroboxer, and Panic Bomber. In the game, which is set in the Milky Way galaxy, players maneuver a puck around one of four pinball tables available in the game. The Virtual Boy's standard red-and-black color scheme resulted in criticism of this and other games on the platform for causing nausea, headaches, and eye strain. It uses parallax, which allows the game to display three-dimensional effects. It has received a mixed reception; it was praised for its authenticity, while reception to its physics and controls were mixed. It has received criticism for its lack of ambition and originality.
