Gonna make some posts over the next few days of some cool things I have in my collection. Let's start with this - a CIB copy of Pin*Bot for the NES. It's one of the best pinball games on the NES and a pretty good rendition of the physical table. The game has an absolute banger of a soundtrack done by the legendary David Wise. https://youtu.be/9BH6lIaAses The video game version also offers up some small changes to the table as you progress - ball gobblers (there's literally no name for it that isn't dirty sounding 😂), missiles that break your flippers, even triangular balls. The colourscheme also changes as you progress which is a nice touch. I grew up with this game as a kid, but lost it to a friend some time ago. I ended up re-buying it in box for a decent deal. I love how it still has some old price stickers on it. Also, being the Canadian release, you get the printed text in English and French. The in-game text is english only. #Retrogaming

Nice. Wife and I both still have our NES, and she got me an Analogue NT a few years back. Only virtual pinball game I've ever played outside of PC was "Rollerball" on NES. This one sounds way better.
You made me bang my head again in the morning 😁
