Comments on: Review: Bump Attack Pinball

While there are many versions of Pinball for the Palm OS, the one iambic released last week, Bump Attack Pinball, is one of the first to offer a play area that is larger than the handheld's screen. The game scrolls as the ball moves into the upper or lower regions of the table. Long-time game reviewer Pepper brings us a review.

I liked it, but I found that Architump's Alchemic Pinball did a better job (if not for the fact that it is greyscale and in Japanese) http://www.architump.com/japanese/Alchemic/index2.htm Too bad they haven't translated it (you can find the demo link on that page)

It does not work on my Palm M125 :( All four files were installed on my palm, and nothing happened after taping the Bump icon... do not know what's wrog.

Right now there is only a color version, I'm not sure if they have any plans for a monochrome version later

I love my Palm . . . do you?

I edited the review to add Pepper's point about this version only being for color handhelds.

Is it only for Palm devices? I loaded it on my Clie 610 and launched it only to get a "Fatal Error" message.

Just disable high-res assist and it runs fine on the Clie.

 Not this good

While everybody has a different opinion, the review seems way, way too generous for my taste. I found the physics unbearable and the scrolling way too nauseating to sit through.

The graphics on this game are indeed good. But, given the problems with the speed, loading times, interface, etc. there is no way this game should rate this high.

Well obviously you have a different opinion than the reviewer. I am sure that there are others that agree with the review.

I disagree kevdo too, IMO this is the greatest pinball game for the palm bar none!

What pinball game are you saying is better for the palm. There are a few others and IMO all of the others are crap compared to Bump Attack.
