ABOUT THE GAME

Pinball HD Collection for iPhone - This game will change your idea of Pinball on the iPhone. Each table - Wild West, The Deep, Jungle Style, Slayer, Da Vinci, Missing In Action, Navy Seals and Platoon - are masterpieces. You'll be stunned with the level of realism. This is a REAL Pinball simulator with stunning 3D graphics both with or without 3D glasses.

IMPORTANT

• Landscape mode - "full table" view
• Portrait mode - "flying-table" view
• In portrait mode slide up or down your both thumbs to toggle camera view from "flying-table" to "full table".

FEATURES

• 10 pinball tables with unique graphics, instructions, missions system, locations and characters
• Landscape mode shows a full table view. The games can be played in either landscape orientation with the button to the left or right of the screen.
• Portrait mode gives you a flying-table view with the camera panning and zooming over the action. This can only be played when holding the iPad with the button on the bottom. If you activate the screen orientation switch, the game only plays in portrait mode.
• A wonderful 3D engine that does true justice to the graphic capabilities of the iPad.
• Realistic physics.
• Built in help for each table. Tap the circled "I" at the bottom right of each table to get a display detailing instructions and descriptions of the features of each table. Make sure to swipe left and right when viewing since the instructions don't fit on one screen.
• Local and global high scores. Swiping right brings up a table of local high scores and further tapping brings up high scores from copies sold throughout
the world. At the end of each game you are prompted to enter your name and have your score included.
• Unique soundtrack with atmospheric music, sound effects and voices.
• Camera tilt brings dimensionality to the games offering a simulated 3D effect where the image changes depending upon how you tilt the iPad. Camera tilt only works in landscape mode.
• Stereoscopic imaging option (requires anaglyph eyeglasses). You can choose between red-cyan, green-magenta or yellow-blue lenses.

HOW TO PLAY

Tapping on a game's fly-over screen shows/hides main menu. Tap on Play button to start game on current table.

Controls in game:
• Tap ANYWHERE on the left side of screen to control the left flipper and ANYWHERE on the right side to control the right flipper.
• Shake your iPad to realistically nudge the pinball table, but not too much or you'll tilt.
• Tap on the "electronic caption" at the top of the screen to pause or resume your game.

### 2/5 — Frozen

*2026-05-19*

Ever time I click “ try again “ it just pauses everything and then it freezes everything in place! So please fix the issue!!!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting this, and sorry - the problem is real and it is not something you are doing wrong. Several players have told us the game locks up when restarting or returning to the menu after a game ends, and we are investigating it. Until it is fixed, closing and reopening the app is the only workaround we can offer, which we know is not good enough. The one thing that would genuinely help is your iPhone model and iOS version, plus whether it happens on a particular table: reproducing it reliably is the piece we are still missing. Please send that to support@appholdings.org, which reaches us directly.

### 5/5 — Da Vinci Pinvall

*2026-05-11, version 1.41*

My favorite game of all series of pinball. History and inventions in a pinball game. Congratulations to the team of developers!!!

### 3/5 — They are great games

*2026-05-10*

The game freezes.  Also I paid for the first 4 or 5 games ans looks like am having to repurchase them, which i don’t agree with.  I can say they sure have expanded their library of games🎈❤️

**Developer response:** Two separate problems here, and neither should cost you anything. Your tables are not gone: table purchases are permanent and tied to your Apple ID. Open the table purchase screen and tap Restore, and the games you already paid for come back at no charge - you should never be asked to buy the same table twice in the same app. One thing that catches people out: Pinball HD Collection and Pinball HD Collection for iPhone are two separate apps with separate purchases, so tables bought in one will not restore in the other. On the freezing, you are not imagining it - other players have reported the game locking up when a game ends and we are working on it. If anything is still missing after Restore, email support@appholdings.org and we will help you directly. Thank you for the kind words about the library.

### 5/5 — Muito bom!

*2026-05-10*

Apenas trava na hora que o jogo termina, tendo que sair do jogo e voltar.  Mas é muito bom Inda mais quando compartilhado na TV.

**Developer response:** Obrigado pelo comentário, e desculpe pela demora em responder. O travamento no fim da partida, que obriga a fechar e reabrir o jogo, é um bug real do nosso lado - não é problema da sua instalação, por isso reinstalar não ajuda. Conseguimos reproduzi-lo aqui pela primeira vez e estamos trabalhando nele, mas não vamos prometer uma data que não podemos cumprir. Por favor, não apague e reinstale o app para contornar isso. Se alguma mesa que você comprou aparecer bloqueada, abra a tela de compra de mesas dentro do jogo e toque em Restore, no topo - as compras ficam ligadas ao seu Apple ID e voltam sem custo. Fale conosco em support@appholdings.org; o endereço de suporte mostrado na página da loja está desatualizado e não chega até nós.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-12-21, version 1.41*

Liked it alot

### 4/5 — Not free

*2025-10-05*

It is a good game but all but one of them are paid for so you can only play Wild West pinball

### 2/5 — エラーの修正をお願いします。

*2025-09-23*

久しぶりに遊ぼうと思ったら、
「The operation couldn't be completed. (Cocoa error -1.)」とエラーが出てほとんどのステージが遊べなくなりました。一時的なエラーかもしれませんが、修正早くお願いします！

**Developer response:** ご報告ありがとうございます。また、お返事が大幅に遅くなり申し訳ございません。「The operation couldn't be completed. (Cocoa error -1.)」は、テーブルのダウンロードが途中で中断され、不完全なファイルが残ったことが原因でした。この問題はアップデートで修正済みです（ダウンロードを検証し、失敗した場合は再試行できるようになりました）。App Store で最新版に更新してから、購入画面で「Restore（購入の復元）」をタップしてください。購入済みのテーブルは Apple ID に紐づく永続的な購入ですので、追加料金はかかりません。それでも解決しない場合は support@appholdings.org までご連絡ください。

### 5/5 — Pinball Arcade HD Collection

*2025-09-13*

Love these pinball games. It’s been tricky when playing on my iPhone but when I’d get into it and get it balanced just right to play it was enjoyable.  I have aging eyes and hands, some arthritis so playing on the phone was’t always as easy as I’d like. I recently got my first IPad and now can play better and longer! YEAH! I LOVE pinball, I even owned a very old model pinball machine decades ago; So having a full-size pinball machine  game on my iPad/ phone without dropping coins outside the home is wonderful. I play the Wild West mostly. Just try these games yourself you won’t be sorry.

### 4/5 — STILL A LOT OF FUN!!

*2025-09-08*

The video pinball games were created by Far Sight Studios.  It’s a shame that they are no longer creating new tables.  They made exact REAL pinball tables from actual real life tables.  HOWEVER, the GAMEPRON simulation tables were groundbreaking at the time.  I still play them.  PLEASE continue to KEEP THIS IN THE APP STORE!!  They are fun to play on my iPhone.

### 4/5 — Purchased all tables 7/2025

*2025-08-02, version 1.41*

I have trouble with screens freezing after completing each game with no option to continue to main menu. No response from developer when messages are sent.  Last update on this app was 11 months ago. Has this been a $27 purchase mistake?
