(1 stars) - Not Recommended
This 4-disc set installs each game on your PC, but then requires the proper game disc to be inserted for each game to be played... useless on a MAME arcade setup like I have because one cannot easily access the computer's CD-ROM drive each time one wants to play.

Software companies that $sell$ me their software and then treat me like a thief by restricting my use of the programs don't set well with me.

(4 stars) - Great!!! But...
4 games for around $4.00. not bad. All the pro pinball games are great with very good physiscs. The tables are so close to the real thing that it includes an operators mode where you can change options, ect...

There's been talk about gamefest not including the music for timeshock and the web. That's a bunch of BS. Apparantly, it's a bug that's causing no music to be heard, which apears when you run the game the first time, after that, you should hear music.
One way you can confirm this is by puting this disc in your cd player and skip to track 2.

It lost one star because Big race usa and Fantasic J. runs slow when more than 2 balls are in play. Even though I'm using a powerful system. And even when I patched it. Very dissapointing.

But in timeshock you can have up to 20 balls and no lag even at 1600 * 1200 * 32 or 16

Even with those minor problems, this package is a must have.

This game works fine if you use Windows 98. If you are using Windows XP or 2000, the game does not run at all. Very unhappy with game. No installation instructions or game instruction. Don't waste your money.

(5 stars) - Even one table is worth the price
I paid ~$15 for TimeShock a few years ago. I was absolutely FLOORED by the realistic gameplay. I already owned several pinball games from Sierra, etc. and I can tell you that TimeShock was so far ahead of those, I have never played a single one of them even once since. Graphics, gameplay, adjustable settings (in system menus that mimic a real table) -- incredible! In fact, that's your one risk in buying these -- that you'll become so spoiled you'll never be able to play another computer pinball game. That's why I'm thrilled to discover today that a four-pack from Pro*Pinball is available, so I will have more than one pinball game to play again. I can't wait to get it.

(5 stars) - Fantastic Collection!
After trying out Big Race U.S.A. at a friends house, I set out to find the complete Pro-Pinball series. I found it with this collection. When I recieved the package, I immediately went to my computer and installed them. I am totally satisfied with this collection. It is the ultimate pinball simulation for true pinball fans! You will spend hours trying to master each table!
