In 2014 GoG released a version for Linux, [1] and a version for Windows. [2]

Gameplay

Pinball World has a world travel motif with players going through nine main themed tables based on the United Kingdom, Germany, Africa, Australia, Far East, New York, Hollywood, South America, and the North Pole. [3] The player does not plunge the ball, instead it appears in the middle of the table. [4]

Reception

Computer Gaming World said "Although Pinball World gives you 20 tables, while more extravagant pinball games usually offer only four or five, in overall appearance this game just can't compete with the more sophisticated titles. So, unless you've exhausted the other options, you might want to pass on it" [4]
