For some time my wife has been asking me to get a pinball game for my Amiga, but I haven't found one. Does one exist? Is it any good? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Dave Lundy

The review reads: 'Jinks plays like a sideways space-age pinball machine, with a playfield filled with colorful rotating objects and Arkanoid-like bricks. Kind of like a Breakout meets Pinball. The game is very bouncy, and it takes some practice to get the hang of the deflecting ball where you want it to go. I'd like to have seen the first level a little easier, and rstarting the game shouldn't take so long. ....' Anyway, hope it helps. -Steve

Yes, EA advertised the Pinball Construction Set as one of the first things they were going to convert to the Amiga. However, I'm just about positive it never happened, because I've been looking for it ever since. If you indeed have information that it was released, please correct me!
