For just £11.99, you will receive three Williams Pinball tables, which are:
PIN·BOT™
TAXI™
WHO dunnit™
One thing I’m starting to realise about my abilities with these classic tables is that when it comes to Pinball, I tend to struggle more with fewer items on the actual tables, and I somehow find it easier to lose the balls. However, this is purely a skill issue on my part – I really struggle with TAXI, but I believe that with practice, I will improve my performance on the tables. Out of this selection, my favourite table is WHO dunnit; I absolutely love the interactivity and all the scoring features. This table definitely makes it the easiest to grasp the scoring system and how to trigger the bonuses.
That being said, both PIN·BOT and TAXI are still fun to play and have some fantastic features on the tables. I think I need to learn how to activate the special events and scoring bonuses on these tables. However, even after spending about forty to fifty minutes on each, I’ve only really grasped the WHO dunnit scoring element. I just need to enhance my skills to keep the balls in play longer on PIN·BOT and TAXI to fully understand these tables and maximise my scores. My plan for my next visit is to set up the Arcade2TV-XR and see if it can help me improve my scores and keep the ball in play for a longer time.
Like all the other tables, the Zen Studios team has made sure that the dimensions of these tables and their internals are in perfect scale with the originals – I genuinely admire their commitment to attaining excellence for the ultimate immersive experience. Moreover, each table is equipped with immersive features along its edges that match the designs and characteristics of the tables. Additionally, every table provides unlockable collectibles on the spin-wheel, allowing you to personalise the tables or upgrade your arcade with items such as figures and posters.
The Verdict
Zen Studios has once again impressed us by adding three fantastic tables to the Williams Classic collection in their game. For just £11.99, you can enjoy three enjoyable tables, though I found WHO dunnit to be the standout among PIN·BOT and TAXI. Nevertheless, each table offers its own unique entertainment value. They all feature immersive elements around the edges that enhance the overall experience, along with additional custom items to decorate your arcade. This gives you even more options for your virtual Pinball arcade, and the team’s dedication to introducing new tables to the game is truly commendable.
