Play Pinball Quest (Australia) Online

Pinball Quest came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990, developed by Jaleco. It was a strange and ambitious title for the NES library, trying to fuse the straightforward action of pinball with the structure of a fantasy role-playing game. You don't just play pinball; you go on a quest with it.

You control the flippers, as in any pinball game, but your ball is also your character. The main objective is to guide your ball through a series of themed tables, which act like levels or dungeons. You battle monsters by hitting them with the ball, collect keys to unlock new areas, and even engage in boss fights that require precise shots. The pacing is methodical, more about exploration and puzzle solving than high scores, and the difficulty can be unforgiving if your shots go wide. It feels like solving a physical puzzle where every mistake costs you a life.
