Play 3-D Ultra Pinball - Thrillride Online

I picked up 3-D Ultra Pinball: Thrillride for the Game Boy Color back in 2000, when Sierra On-Line was still putting out some interesting handheld titles. It was one of those games that felt right at home on the platform, offering a portable twist on the pinball games that were popular on computers at the time. The graphics were colorful and tried to make the most of the hardware, with a decent sense of depth for a Game Boy game.

You control the flippers, trying to keep the ball in play across a carnival themed table full of ramps, bumpers, and moving obstacles. The main goal is to rack up points by hitting targets and completing mini games, like activating the roller coaster or bumper car sections. The table is split into multiple screens, so you scroll between areas to access different challenges. The pacing is fairly quick, and the physics can be unpredictable, which keeps you on your toes. It feels satisfying when you finally trigger a multiball or complete a tricky sequence after a few tries.
