Ruiner Pinball is a great pinball game for the system by the great & talented chaps at High Voltage Software. Fun fact: this was the first game by HVS where they used a C Compiler that disabled the M68000 chip in it, in fact, after the system boot screen it's never used again. Everything is done using the system's other chips. Yeah, the sound effects sound something from the Sega Genesis but i enjoy the music (who was the composer anyway?). Overall, i like this game :-D Recommended.
It is so great to get a free game in the mail. I remember sending of for ever game I could. it didn't work offend. but when it did it was going to be a good weekend :)
I had a choice between this game and pinball fantasies. I chose this game and by the sounds of it that’s good. Can’t wait to hook up the Jagwire tomorrow and play it!
I played the crap out of Pinball Fantasies as a kid and loved that game! I recently picked this up to ad to the collection and this one is actually really good, the tables are awesome, and the sound effects are great! I also like that this is console specific wheras the Pinball Fantasies game is also available on the SNES
I agree, Ruiner is a ton of fun. It seems that the community at large prefers Fantasies, and while it's more realistic, I think Ruiner works better as a pinball video game, as it takes advantage of being on a console to do things that wouldn't work as well on a real-life table. Love the Jaguar reviews.
A few years ago I was determined to get one of the Jaguar pinball games. Unfortunately, Pinball Fantasies was the one I found at a decent price. It's not terrible, and it has four tables, but they're all rather simple and bland. This one looks way better.
I also used to have Pinball Fantasies. I have it now on my PSP as it is on the PSN. It was hard to find game reviews for Jaguar games back in the day. Ordering a game from the USA was always a crap shoot. You never knew what you were going to get.
I am a pinball player and I love pinball videogames, the TG16 ones are probably the best, but there are also great ones for Genesis, SNES, PSX, Saturn and of course, the Jaguar
@@SecondOpinionGames1 hey, I’m just a random nobody on the internet ribbing a content creator for no apparent reason other than my rigid and hypocritical take on the English language! Pay me no mind! 😅 Again, in all seriousness, great episode and it warms my heart to see some love thrown at the Jaguar.
For a long time, when I heard the pronunciation of Jaguar (well, in USA). I though there were some inside joke, that I didn't get ;) But you really do say it like Jag and Wire??? Really ?!? xD I have to say, that I most probably will never get used to it ;) It just sounds so, so... Well, laughable... And definitely no disrespect to anyone! I just had to let that opinion out of me. It's been boiling in there for a while ;D
In England, I've always heard it as Jag-u-ar, most American youtubers seem to say Ja-guar which I can see makes sense, you're the one I've heard say Jag-wire. Not that it really matters, I know what you are taking about and your videos are great so hey keep up the good work.

This is one of my favorite Jaguar games
Love the Tower intro music. I have this game since 90's, BTW, 90's were a nice decade for digital Pinball enthusiasts
Im hoping to gat a pinball machine soon 😃
Back in the day I sent for a free game using one of those cards, and they indeed sent me a free game (Raiden in my case).

Pinball Fantasies I'm hoping to do next.
Just bought a mint Atari Jaguar with cords, controller and 5 games. Love to collect pinball games.

bananonymous last name It’s hard for me to go back and watch my old reviews but I’m glad you like it 😀 this is a great game though

Its not bad but I love this one. I will get to that one later. I'm trying to do every card on the Jaguar,

VR has some great virtual pinball 😃
Good review. I have it, it is the best one for the Jaguar!
I’m cool with “Jagwire”, it’s “nucular” that drove me nuts
Jokes aside, great to see someone out there with some Jag love.
😳 sorry about that

I like this game but I think you're a touch crazy for liking it better than the Crush games on TG16.
I go back and forth on that 🤔

its a rubbish game. its all randomized- u may get high scores one day and fail miserably a dozen times after.
That does seem to happen
Wow Scott Corley would love to hear that.
