What Adventure Pinball: Forgotten Island is
Adventure Pinball: Forgotten Island is a pinball game developed by Digital Extremes and released in 2001. It was published by Electronic Arts. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only. It runs on Unreal Engine 1.
The premise, in the publisher's words
It starts when you receive a note and map from your long lost grandfather, along with the promise of the adventure of a lifetime. You'll encounter dinosaurs, volcanoes, and man-eating sharks, as well as a tribe of cavemen to save. Your mission is to save the Forgotten Island. There are 9 interconnected tables included for you to conquer. They have to be unlocked during the game and offer 2 or 3 settings per table. In comparison to most other pinball simulations the goals on a table are mostly not to get a high score but to solve missions like chasing away sharks. Also unusual are the 3D graphics: instead of a static top-down view the camera follows the pinball ball.
How it plays
It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are comedy. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Multiplayer and Single player.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 9 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 14 hrs, roughly 1.6 times the length of the critical path.
