The tablet form has given a real much needed boost to pinball development. He also has reviews of the new crop of pinballs for both OSX, and also iOS devices such as iPhone and iPad. So Vasili went it alobnne and started up a Pinball blog of his own, where the latest iteration of his tome can be well perused. Well, times have changed, and that website got "harvested" and now is a stub for 'cheap travel packages' cheap male 'performance' potions and pills, etc. My friend Vasil (or 'Basil' if you're "Engrisch") used to write and maintain the "Mac Pinball History" over at the "Tower Of PIn". I would suggest you click on them for a better look:įirstly, here's the Apple App Store version. I have the graphics set at exactly the same settings on both versions, for purposes of this comparison I seem to have more power in the flippers, the sountracks are (very slightly) superior, certainly the graphics are crisper and brighter. In fact, the Steam versions are superior in every way. I was mistaken about the Apple graphics being better, The reverse is true. Suure.and I've got the screenshots to prove it. but it was to say that "as of this point, there is no difference between the Apple and Steam versions". I've had some serious time to compare the Steam versions with the Apple versions.įirst I should point out that I got a reply on a facebook comment from Farsight, which is unusual enough in itself.
However, There's also the free games on the Steam one, as PA always does, and it was playing those that I noticed something odd. However, at the time I first published this comparison, Season 3 was not available from Apple, but was on Steam, so I bit the bullet, installed the Steam version of Pinball Arcade, and bought "Fish Tales", thinking I was going to have to pay for the exact same item twice once it became available through the App Store also. I have the full Apple app store copy with both season packs purchased.
Well, Steam has recently become available for Mac, and lo and behold, Farsight has *somehow* (and I can't imagine how they managed to finangle this one!), managed to be able to sell the Pinball Arcade for Mac via BOTH the Apple App Store, and Steam!
