      I just want to take a moment real quick to highlight that you wrote out the phrase “Ronald Reagan ball skins.”

    Are we going to have a community that is focused on gaming discussion and another focused on memes and low-effort posts? Or are they going to be combined?

      Agreed because I don’t like the OP for being a low effort meme, but also I feel like if there’s a community you’re interested in, just go make it.

      Especially as people migrate off of Reddit and Lemmy grows. Anyone coming from Reddit who was interested in games knows there is a demand for a discussion/news based community like r/games

    Isn’t there already a remaster? I came around this one from the KDE discovery.

      It’s not really a remaster, it’s an open-source re-implementation. But I guess it could be used as a base for a remaster

      Nah, perfection was Pinball Dreams on the Amiga, way superior to everything on PC/Windows for a decade. Which is probably equivalent to about a 100 years if it was a car.

      I just tried it, and wow, that is really bad actually. Genuinely much worse than finding a download of the original version.

      Looks like that one is from 2013 and last updated in 2015, so what happened to 2021?

    You can find several ports of pinball on GitHub. https://github.com/fexed/Pinball-on-Android is the android version I like to use.

    It would be soo cool if they open-sourced this game at this point.

      Honestly I’m bored enough to open Unity and get to work, but someone’s probably already got a project on GitHub.

    I did play the hell out of this game back in the day, but there was an even older one that only worked in dos mode. I can’t remember the name, but I loved that version.

    There is a windows build exe on my PC that lets you play the OG. I would redirect you to the download site but they look all shady af.
