Play 1st Person Pinball Online

You’re the pinball—bouncing off bumpers, flipping through ramps, and trying not to puke from the dizzying strobe lights. The physics are gloriously janky, like being tossed around in a washing machine.

Game Overview

Ever played pinball and thought, "Man, I wish I was the ball"? Well, someone in the '90s actually made that happen. 1st Person Pinball for MS-DOS throws you straight into the chaos—no paddle view, no overhead angle, just pure, disorienting ball-cam. Ramps loom over you like skyscrapers, bumpers slam into your face, and those flashing lights? Yeah, they’re basically strobes at this point.

It’s janky, sure—physics feel like you’re a soda can kicked down a flight of stairs—but that’s half the fun. There’s something weirdly hypnotic about spinning helplessly toward a drain while the score multiplies in the corner. Play it for five minutes and you’ll either love it or need to lie down. No in-between.

Definitely one of those "they don’t make ‘em like this anymore" experiments. Worth a spin if you’ve got a DOS emulator and a strong stomach.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
