The new edition of Pixel Addict is out now, with a cover feature dedicated to the history of pinball bideo games. Virtual tables, rather than physical ones, first appeared in the early 1980s, and gained popularity in the 16-bit era with titles like Pinball Dreams.
Games like Night Mission and Full Title are also featured, making this a must-buy for fans of the virtual pinball game genre.
