Hi all,
I'm looking to try any of the virtual (pc based) pinball emulators out there.
Can anyone recommend what's *the* best one to get? and/or has the biggest range of pins available?
Thanx in advance,
MM

I used to play PinMAME on a PC many years ago. The site does not seem to have been updated for a couple of years.
VPForums is a good source of info and downloads. I have in mind to build a full size virtual machine one day.

I have not done a pinmame yet but want to and have checked out VP as well

As both VP and future pinball are free , you can try then both

General rules of thumb:
Visual Pinball has better physics, Future Pinball has more gloss.
Visual Pinball has VPM support, Future Pinball doesn't (but can simulate it pretty well in the right coder's hands).
Visual Pinball has a fixed camera view once rendered, Future Pinball has varying options for a free-moving camera (but a bit pointless in a virtual cab).
