Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection for the Nintendo Wii brought back childhood memories of my dad playing pinball in an arcade. I was too short to see the pinball table, so my mum had to carry me. My dad, he was pretty good in pinball. He would show me his skill in bumping the pinball table without tilting it and what to shoot to get the extra ball. As a kid, I was totally in awe of his pinball prowess.
With Pinball of Hall of Fame, I get to play the same pinball tables that my dad used to play. The Williams Collection is a collection of ten pinball tables from the past three decades. You get to play classic pinball tables like Taxi, Black Knight, Firepower, Funhouse, Gorgar, Pin*Bot, Space Shuttle, Whirlwind, Jive Time and Sorcerer. The action of flicking the nunchuk’s analog stick to shoot the ball and pressing the B and Z button for flipper control gives the game an authentic pinball feel. You shake the Wii remote or nunchuk to bump the pinball table. Don’t shake too hard or you’ll tilt the table. All in all, Pinball Hall of Fame is an excellent pinball simulation for the Nintendo Wii and great trip down memory lane.

Below is a screen shot from the game. It looks exactly like the actual pinball table.
