Play The Pinball of the Dead Online

I picked up The Pinball of the Dead for the Game Boy Advance back in 2002, a time when Sega was putting out some really creative spin-offs. It was a weird, fun little title that took the House of the Dead universe and smashed it into a pinball cabinet, which honestly shouldn't have worked as well as it did. It felt like a perfect fit for the handheld, something you could just jump into for a few minutes between classes or on a bus ride.

You control the flippers, launching a silver ball into a playfield absolutely crawling with zombies. Your main goal is to survive as long as possible, racking up points by blasting the undead into gory chunks. The game is split into different tables, each with its own layout and a big boss waiting at the end if you can last long enough. You use special shots and multi-ball modes to clear screens of enemies, and the pacing is frantic, with zombies constantly shambling into the ball's path. It feels chaotic and satisfying, a genuine rush when you pull off a perfect shot that clears the whole board.
