> ESP Pinball
>
> Since the first pinball game was introduced in 1947, people the world over
> have had an obsession with making a little silver ball jump all over a
> table, hitting targets and flying up ramps along the way.  Pinball has
been
> one of those true classic arcade games with ongoing appeal to generations
> old and young.
>
> While the pinball tables themselves have wildly varied themes, the object
> remains the same--score MEGA points by propelling a round, steel ball
around
> an electronic and mechanical obstacle course bouncing it off bumpers,
> flippers, targets, switches, and gizmos at blazing speeds!
>
> Each theme has it's own obstacles and objectives, sound effects and
> ambience, and scoring system.  ESP Pinball comes with six completely
> different themed tables including:
>
> Heist - Shine up your .38 Special and getting ready for a heist!  Whether
> it's diamonds, cold hard cash, or expensive cars this table rakes in the
big
> bucks!  Great sound effects and lots of bonus jobs on the side!
>
> Haunted House - Take a stroll through a graveyard to the old haunted
mansion
> on the hill.. think you're brave enough to spend a night there?  It'll
take
> more than nerves of steel to rack up every last ghoulish point this table
> has to offer!  Complete with spooky music and plenty of cobwebs!
>
> The Jungle - Welcome to the jungle.. now, go home!  That is if you can
make
> it home!  Explore the thick underbrush and jungle ambience while hunting
> wild animals and escaping quicksand.  If you've got a sharp aim and don't
> mind mosquitoes the size of Jersey, take an adventure in the wilderness!
>
> Soccer Star - Take to the stadium field and don't forget your cleats!
It's
> man against machine on the green in this 'goal'-oriented theme.  Each
round
> is timed and it's either your goal or theirs!  Score for points, more
time,
> and to win!  Gatorade not included!
>
> Wild West - Trade in your pinball for a six-shooter and bullets and take
> down the town baddies in a fight to the death!  And, after you're done
> saving the bank from being robbed, stop into the saloon for an ice cold
beer
> or brawl with the locals.
>
> Pac Man - Gobble up points, avoid ghosties, and turn the tables on 'em
with
> mega power-ups in this pinball rendition of the classic game Pac Man.
