-Eye melting next generation 4k graphics and physics! Realistic shadows and ear melting 5.1 surround sound with EAX support (requires Sound Blaster card for audio)
-Requires internet connection on launch
-Slappin’ lit soundtrack by DJ Big Lil Cheesecake Fugg Face
-First three balls free, then requires a social media log in or 600 Microsoft Points per 7 balls
-$69.99 Limited Edition Unlocked Supreme version comes with unlimited balls, free security patches for 2 year life cycle of the game, unlocks objectives, missions and achievements.
-Ronald Reagan ball skins, Addams Family tables and tilt feature sold separately. Optional Mountain Dew background available.
-Plays at 25 frames per second, paddles T-pose randomly, servers constantly overloaded, on release. 7th generation i5 processors literally melt and catch on fire for an unknown reason, a dozen people die in house fires in the first 12 hours of the game coming out. Developers release a long form apology statement on Twitter.
-Patch to address the above requires Windows Defender to be completely uninstalled from the system in favor of McAffee Antivirus and VPN services. But an old, unsupported build of those for some reason.
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.

I just want to take a moment real quick to highlight that you wrote out the phrase “Ronald Reagan ball skins.”
You can find several ports of pinball on GitHub. https://github.com/fexed/Pinball-on-Android is the android version I like to use.
Wow, right in the nostalgia.

How about a web version?

Hey, Dave!
If only I could be as cool as that Dave.
Best comment here, please remember to boost this post so people can see it!
I played a similar table on Virtual Pinball X. It was a lot of fun.
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
Who needs a remaster? This is perfect.
Will it have paid day-one DLC? Online leaderboards and rankings? NFTs? Requires constant online connectivity? Battlepass with flipper cosmetics?
Like the crap they slapped onto solitaire? That was ridiculous.
Tell me your joking
Nope. It’s now bloated with ads and “premium” features…nothing is sacred.

Careful what you wish for. 2024 EA announces remaster of Zen Pinball.
For anyone on Android, you can get the game here
There is also an open source version you can get on Github for android https://github.com/fexed/Pinball-on-Android
… and that was the end of my productivity for the day.
So many hours spent playing this game when I was a kid.
What is there to remaster?
After they remaster this, they should remaster SkiFree!
Twas remastered in 2021 in the Microsoft Store my dude. Have fun
I just tried it, and wow, that is really bad actually. Genuinely much worse than finding a download of the original version.
Do you happen to know where I could find an original download?
You can always go check out Dave’s garage on YouTube hes got a nice video on it and links to aquire it

Looks like that one is from 2013 and last updated in 2015, so what happened to 2021?
I’m pretty sure I still have that on a 3.5" floppy somewhere. I also have a 3.5" drive that could read it, but I have nothing I could plug it into.
