Hmmm.......
Why can't I turn off the sound or music in-game anymore? The little switch icon by the option is missing. Please fix!

Your kids have been playing Pinball Tristan in Rock'n'Play mode all evening, while you've been itching to get your hands on it for a crack at Arcade. You keep checking the clock, watching their bedtime inch closer. They look tired, maybe they should turn in early tonight. As soon as they're tucked in, it's your turn to have fun!
Pinball Tristan is a worldwide best selling, award winning game, born for the Mac in 1991. You're going to have trouble putting this one down. It's cool 3D retro graphics, full-fledged pinball challenge, precise physical implementation of ball movement, is enough to make any diehard pinballer drool.
This application has two faces. Pinball Tristan remains true to its classic roots, incorporating a toy-like cabinet with an old style mechanical score drum that will evoke memories of the authentic joy and excitement you felt from playing the original pinball machines. At the same time, this is a new type of pinball with two modes.
Arcade Mode lets you experience real, challenging arcade pinball like it was meant to be played. This is the type of pinball game that you drooled over but couldn't afford when you were kid. Well, at only $1.99, you don't have that problem anymore.
If you're just starting out, try the Rock'n'Play Mode. Freely adjust the board angle by tilting your device, roll the ball in the opposite direction by tipping the device away from your body. Practice flipper control with a shelving angle or try a quick combo play. It's all lights, sounds and action yet is easier to play than Arcade.
This app can be all about technique, if you want it to be. Go ahead and experiment with the nudging function, the pass flip, reverse pass flip, return lane transfer, holding lift, dead flipper bounce, alley pass, slide and hit, live catch…do we need to go on, you get the idea. There are tons of different plays you can use to rock the pinball.
While all that action is going on, why not listen to some great, motivating music? Pinball Tristan lets you play your favorite tunes by using your Apple iPod function. So, you've got pinball action and your favorite music – what could be better, except maybe ranking number one in the World Competition?
Compare your game to others and track your ranking through the Game Center. See how your scores look.
Check out the cool features you get in Pinball Tristan:
* Best selling, award winning, most authentic pinball game

Complete rip off
This is badly overpriced as it would even for free be a stretch to justify. Rubbish looks and gameplay!

CLASSIC
This is a perfect example of what a pinball game should be like. Had this for quite a while and decide to write a quick review. The physics, graphics just everything about the gameplay is spot on. Never encountered any issues and there are modes which caters to everyone's liking. Well done developers as I can see the thought and effort that went into making this game. It's first in my section of Pinballs. Gives me a feel good experience when I play. Thanks.

Style
I love the retro style it is really easy on the eye. I prefer this to the larger more expensive versions of pinball on the app store. Physics are spot on, online scores and game centre. All i ask is for more tables!

Fantastic
This is a fantastic app and a must for anybody who likes playing pin tables.The quality of the graphics are superb.This is well worth buying.

Terrific pin!
I like a game of virtual pinball, but I like it even better when it's close to the real thing like this one.
It has elements of machines from the 60s and 70s and a nice attention to detail - like the triggers in the lock holes.
Little Wing are _the_ purveyors of quality virtual pins on Mac/PC; with luck we'll get the full catalogue on iOS. Bring on the next one!

Classic pinball action
A really nice old-school style pinball game, if you've ever played the original Tristan game then you'll feel right at home.
On the ipad it's just gorgeous and a bargain at the price!

Highly polished.
This is a highly polished pinball game with physics superior to any pinball game on iPhone. The only downfall is one table and lacking all the twists and turns that gameprom offers. Love the retro sounds too. Excellent game that would of got 5 stars if I could play more polished tables like this.

Wonderful!
Littlewing were making smooth pinball games with impressive physics back when I played Tristan on a Powerbook 180c. This is a really neat port to iOS, I look forward to more Littlewing tables on this platform. すごいね！

Simply wonderful
What a beautiful, fabulously crafted pinball game from Littlewing! I played some of their games back in the mid-nineties - this here is a wonderful conversion of the old Tristan game. It plays like a dream and looks super-crisp on the iPad. With very good physics implementation, Tristan feels like the real thing and is the first serious App-Store competition for the rather less lovingly ported Last Gladiator pinball game. Buy it, play it, love it!
