Game Overview

3-D Ultra Pinball: Thrillride on Game Boy Color is basically a pocket-sized version of the Hersheypark-themed Windows pinball game. It’s got that classic 2D table with a forced 3D perspective—kinda cheesy, but in a charming way. You’ve got two sets of flippers to juggle, plus bumper cars in the pits that can save your ball if you time it right.

What’s neat is the four-player pass-and-play mode where you take turns on the same Game Boy, each as a different Hershey’s mascot (Reese’s Cup, anyone?). The difficulty adjusts per player, so if your friend’s terrible at pinball, they won’t get completely wrecked. And yeah, it saves your high scores—because what’s pinball without bragging rights?

It’s not the deepest pinball sim out there, but for a quick handheld fix, it gets the job done.
