Decided to open my Amiga emulator and play one of my favorites from my teenage years. If you've never played this game, you'll be surprised when you do. 4 tables. It feels surprisingly realistic. The ball moves like on a real pinball table. The music is very late 80s early 90s, of course!

Anyone remember a pinball game for windows that had three tables and I think the ball could swap between them during play, and the theme was building a space colony on mars or some other planet? Sorry my description is vague, but I was like 8 years old when I played it. I definitely remember that the tables were wider than they were tall, unusual for a pinball game, as it was designed for the computer screen not an arcade.

I'm reading your description and I want to remember this. It sounds like fun. Maybe I played it and I don't remember? That would make me feel so old. Good thing I drink and smoke to forget.

Found it! It was 3D Ultra Pinball, by Sierra. Here’s a YouTube video of someone playing it… https://youtu.be/6DX08v5orsY
