A friend of mine actually threatened bodily harm if I didn't include The Pinball Of The Dead in this month's Spooktacular. Having never been a fan of bodily harm, I thought that this would give me a good excuse to finally track the game down. It had been on my want-list for well over a year, but I never seemed to happen upon a copy. Well, I'm glad I finally did. As it turns out, The Pinball Of The Dead basically takes levels, characters, and music from The House Of The Dead 2 and shoves it all into a pinball machine. If anyone thinks this sounds weird, they've obviously never played Typing Of The Dead, nor have they seen a Kiss pinball machine in the wild.

The Pinball Of The Dead is extremely awesome by my personal standards. A pinball aficionado friend of mine mentioned that he felt that the physics were pretty off on this one. But I guess I'm blinded by the zombies and blood (make sure you change the blood to "red" in the options menu before playing!). In fact I was so enamored with how well the music carried over the GBA, that I think I was in awe of this game almost immediately. Maybe it's not a perfect pinball game, but if you like zombies and think that shooting a big metal ball at them might be fun -- give this one a shot!
