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.
That's a port, not a remaster. Man, that thing made party like it's 1995. Thanks for the link.
What is there to remaster?
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.
I'll let Dave explain: https://youtu.be/ThxdvEajK8g

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!
You can find several ports of pinball on GitHub. https://github.com/fexed/Pinball-on-Android is the android version I like to use.

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.

You can't remaster that which is already perfection
Are we going to have a community that is focused on gaming discussion and another focused on memes and low-effort posts? Or are they going to be combined?
idk about you but this is a valid question that could be discussed if you werent so full of yourself
🥇
ah yes the gaming v games debate continues on a new platform, very interesting
Agreed because I don’t like the OP for being a low effort meme, but also I feel like if there’s a community you’re interested in, just go make it.
Especially as people migrate off of Reddit and Lemmy grows. Anyone coming from Reddit who was interested in games knows there is a demand for a discussion/news based community like r/games

Careful what you wish for. 2024 EA announces remaster of Zen Pinball.
They made a remake for Windows store a while ago, and it was awful
Classic computer lab memories
I played a similar table on Virtual Pinball X. It was a lot of fun.
No need to remaster perfection
Don't touch perfection!
Pinball FX has some fun tables. Not free but a decent modern pinball game.
Perfection needs no remaster.
Ya know, Zen Pinball is pretty good.
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'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.
So many hours spent playing this game when I was a kid.
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
After they remaster this, they should remaster SkiFree!
