Description of Psycho Pinball
Psycho Pinball is a vastly underrated pinball game that will please both beginners and experts alike.
Developed by Codemasters and published by Phillips Media, the game offers 4 fun tables, good music, and a clear digital voice that guide you to extra points and jackpots. Similar to most other pinball games, and Extreme Pinball in particular, you play Psycho Pinball from a top-down perspective, seeing half of the table on the screen, which then scrolls up or down to track the ball.
The four tables are Psycho, Trick or Treat, The Abyss, and Wild West. In addition to having different settings and goals, they vary in difficulty level. What sets Psycho Pinball apart from other pinball games is the bonus games you can play if you get the ball in the right hole. These bonus games are played at the bottom of the screen, and give you extra points. The table are “linked” in a sense that you can go to the other tables if you get the ball in the correct spot.
Aside from fun bonus games, Psycho Pinball has all the trappings that will keep pinball fans hooked for a long time. The game features a three ball multiball, a realistic tilt, and progressive game play targets with rewards. Up to four players can play on each table. Also included are twelve different surface types of varying friction like rubber and metal, over 200 sound effects, three difficulty levels with five speed options from Fogey to Psycho, and excellent animations.
Good graphics, clearly stated goals, and plenty of on-line help will introduce newbies to the genre, while veterans will have fun with all-around solid gameplay and bonus games. Recommended!

This game must be in a subdirectory in order to work. (otherwise: tons of "illegal reads")
If you try to create a shortcut like this:
"\DOSBox.exe" "\psycho.bat"
It will not work.
You have to create a unique configuration file for this game.
And create the shortcut like this:
"\DOSBox.exe" -conf "\example.conf"
And "example.conf" should have at the end [autoexec] the mount options, for example:
mount c d:\downloads\
c:
cd psycho-pinball_dos_en
psycho.bat

First unzipped game and change the name of the unzipped file to pp.
Put this in a folder named games.
