Isn't there already a remaster? I came around this one from the KDE discovery.
It's not really a remaster, it's an open-source re-implementation. But I guess it could be used as a base for a remaster
Who needs a remaster? This is perfect.
That's a port, not a remaster. Man, that thing made party like it's 1995. Thanks for the link.
I'll let Dave explain: https://youtu.be/ThxdvEajK8g
And here's the blog from the other guy - https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20121218-00/?p=5803

Best comment here, please remember to boost this post so people can see it!
You can't remaster that which is already perfection
Nah, perfection was Pinball Dreams on the Amiga, way superior to everything on PC/Windows for a decade. Which is probably equivalent to about a 100 years if it was a car.
For anyone on Android, you can get the game here
There is also an open source version you can get on Github for android https://github.com/fexed/Pinball-on-Android
... and that was the end of my productivity for the day.

Are we going to have a community that is focused on gaming discussion and another focused on memes and low-effort posts? Or are they going to be combined?
Agreed because I don’t like the OP for being a low effort meme, but also I feel like if there’s a community you’re interested in, just go make it.
Especially as people migrate off of Reddit and Lemmy grows. Anyone coming from Reddit who was interested in games knows there is a demand for a discussion/news based community like r/games

Yeah, as long as we're using an upvote system, those need to be split so the articles and discussion posts don't get drowned out in a sea of easily-consumed and quickly-upvoted low-content posts. I know I would personally really prefer having a proper feedly-style community with a bunch of articles and discussions than another gaming meme one that could basically be a bot linked to an instagram feed.
so, god knows there's enough games communities across the various larger instances right now but, even so... maybe we should start a /c/gamingdiscussion?

What is there to remaster?
So many hours spent playing this game when I was a kid.
I still can hear the start-up sound
Wooouuupwoouupwoupwoupwouwoupwoup drrrrrrrrrrr
This was such an OG game. I spent so many hours on this shit
Twas remastered in 2021 in the Microsoft Store my dude. Have fun
I just tried it, and wow, that is really bad actually. Genuinely much worse than finding a download of the original version.
Do you happen to know where I could find an original download?
You can always go check out Dave's garage on YouTube hes got a nice video on it and links to aquire it

Perfection needs no remaster.
Will it have paid day-one DLC? Online leaderboards and rankings? NFTs? Requires constant online connectivity? Battlepass with flipper cosmetics?

Careful what you wish for. 2024 EA announces remaster of Zen Pinball.
This took up a significant portion of my time on PC as a kid. No regrets
It would be soo cool if they open-sourced this game at this point.
.. like why not?

I did play the hell out of this game back in the day, but there was an even older one that only worked in dos mode. I can't remember the name, but I loved that version.
Classic computer lab memories
No need to remaster perfection
They made a remake for Windows store a while ago, and it was awful
Pinball FX has some fun tables. Not free but a decent modern pinball game.
Don't touch perfection!
I'm pretty sure I still have that on a 3.5" floppy somewhere. I also have a 3.5" drive that could read it, but I have nothing I could plug it into.
There is a windows build exe on my PC that lets you play the OG. I would redirect you to the download site but they look all shady af.
