Gameplay.
"Pinball Wizard" is a game which includes sound and lights and the ability to tilt, with different obstacles on each of the four pinball simulations. On the Atari ST, the player manipulates the flipper and back-board controls using the mouse, but too much movement from the mouse will activate the tilt sensors. Players can customize the parameters in the game including as point scores, table slope, bumper elasticity, and the number of balls per game. Using a parts menu, the player can assemble a pinball machine, coloring and decorating it from the paint menu.
Reception.
In 1988, "Dragon" gave the game 4½ out of 5 stars.
