Your kids have been playing Pinball Tristan in RocknPlay mode all evening, while youve been itching to get your hands on it for a crack at Arcade. You keep checking the clock, watching their bedtime inch closer. They look tired, maybe they should turn in early tonight. As soon as theyre tucked in, its your turn to have fun!

Pinball Tristan is a worldwide best selling, award winning game, born for the Mac in 1991. Youre going to have trouble putting this one down. Its cool 3D retro graphics, full-fledged pinball challenge, precise physical implementation of ball movement, is enough to make any diehard pinballer drool.

This application has two faces. Pinball Tristan remains true to its classic roots, incorporating a toy-like cabinet with an old style mechanical score drum that will evoke memories of the authentic joy and excitement you felt from playing the original pinball machines. At the same time, this is a new type of pinball with two modes.

Arcade Mode lets you experience real, challenging arcade pinball like it was meant to be played. This is the type of pinball game that you drooled over but couldnt afford when you were kid. Well, at only $1.99, you dont have that problem anymore.

If youre just starting out, try the RocknPlay Mode. Freely adjust the board angle by tilting your device, roll the ball in the opposite direction by tipping the device away from your body. Practice flipper control with a shelving angle or try a quick combo play. Its all lights, sounds and action yet is easier to play than Arcade.

This app can be all about technique, if you want it to be. Go ahead and experiment with the nudging function, the pass flip, reverse pass flip, return lane transfer, holding lift, dead flipper bounce, alley pass, slide and hit, live catch…do we need to go on, you get the idea. There are tons of different plays you can use to rock the pinball.

While all that action is going on, why not listen to some great, motivating music? Pinball Tristan lets you play your favorite tunes by using your Apple iPod function. So, youve got pinball action and your favorite music – what could be better, except maybe ranking number one in the World Competition?

Compare your game to others and track your ranking through the Game Center. See how your scores look.

Check out the cool features you get in Pinball Tristan:
* Best selling, award winning, most authentic pinball game

Pros and cons of Pinball Tristan app for iPhone and iPad

Pinball Tristan app good for

Le meilleur flipper de lappstore! Best pinball available on the store! Thank you! Im waiting for a port of your other (and even better) pinballs, especially golden logres

It was already the best pinball on Mac OS its now the bast on iOS. Very simple, nothing fancy but so much fun to play. Hopefully littlewing will issue their other great pinball games (Im looking forward for Eight ball deluxe!)

Please port your other pinball tables to iOS, too! I would buy them all.

for bringing back fond memories of the great gaming days of old.

Plays like the old dos Tristan game with better graphics and sound.

This title brings back a lot of memory. It was the first pinball game I bought on PC. I was able to replay the old game using Dosbox on my mac and I must say that the new iPad version is far superior. The graphics have been updated in full 3D and the animation is very smooth. The ball physic is even closer to real life. Fortunately, the developers resisted the temptation to "improve" the game and give it a more modern look. Tristan was trying to emulate a real life pinball machine. So there is no need for special "animation", glowing balls and all other stuff we see in todays computer pinball. For some people, that may be disappointing. But for me, its what gives this title its charm. A simple, enjoyable, classic pinball. Too bad LittleWing did not provide a "trial" version so that people can try before buying. Thats what they do with their PC version. You get a timed version that plays for about a minute. If you want to play longer, you have to buy the license. Lets hope they bring Crystal Caliburn as well on the iPad. Thats my all time favorite in classic computer pinball.

Some bad moments

The most simple and boring pinball Ive ever seen for the iPhone, its not worth the USD 1,99 (EUR 1,59), there are many better ones for less. Ive expected so much more of Little Wing - too much...

Great gameplay and a lot of fun. I would love to see more pinball tables in the app catalog from this developer in the future.

This is what video game pinball is supposed to be. Cant wait to see the rest of the library!

This is a a straight forward and very playable pinball game. The physics-gameplay is very good. I would guess that one of the reasons for good physics is the fact that this game does not tax the cpu with graphics. Now the down side: The graphics are minimal. The visual is more that of a battery operated table top pinball machine and not a full sized model. The five star reviews this game is getting are unwarranted. A four star "its good" is more in line with the good gameplay, but limited graphics of this game.

By far the best pinball app for my iPod I have found. Ball moves quickly with plenty of targets and bonus available.

I like this game, and play it a lot. There are tricks to learn, just like the real thing.
