LGR - Oddware - Philips Virtual Pinball Controller

Overview, installation, and demonstration of the retro PC game peripheral, the Virtual Pinball controller by Philips. And playing GTA 5 with it, cuz why not!

I sense a future gta lets play with the pinball controller.

I was hoping/had a feeling you'd play Epic Pinball... Endless hours as a kid would have been made so much more fun with this Oddware!

It makes me wonder if there are other pinball controllers out there. I thought the Thrustmaster was an oddity, yet this thing comes out of nowhere and says "oh hai". If nothing else, it makes a good bludgeon tool. :P

Yes! You tried a pinball controller with a non-pinball game once again! I was hoping for that so I could laugh at it! :P Also, it looks like you're trying to give the Virtual Pinball controller a massage when you try to tilt, especially with the forward tilt... o.o

Oh yeah, it plays nicely with modern pinball games too. I don't use nudge/tilt very often, so it's not so bad!

I'll give them dedication for pulling off such a bulky bit of kit - except for that tilt control though (though I wonder if that's just due to the ravages of time, rather than a design thing). And the GTA5 road test - totally inspired. Actually surprised it's mapping kind of worked there.

This is bloody spectacular! No one has guts anymore to release specific one genre controller. It'd be great if you'd ever get Steel Battalion controller for original Xbox. That thing is insane.

Heh. I just came back from visiting someone in our local pinball league for my first time and spotted the notification for this video in my inbox. How's that for timing? ;) That does look like a LOT of force required to get the nudge switches working in the thing though. Then again, as I'm slowly learning with the real thing, nudging for real really does take a lot force... :B

Thanks you, Thanks you, Thanks you, I salute you for saying The Netherlands.

I have one criticism of this video: You just had to stand up and ruin the idea that you do reviews sans pants, didn't you? ;)

Have you tried Transarctica (PC version) with this pinball controller ? The train battles are already quite hard in that game, but winning with this thing against any enemy train (even one with only one soldier and nothing else) would be surprising to say the least. ;-)

That thing looks so cheap and ridiculous yet so much fun when you actually use it...

That looked surprisingly good actually. Asked my father about it and he'd never heard of them. Reckons they were probably made by third party then sold as Philips . Think it's the most positive oddware yet :)

Personally, I'd like to have the ability to download and run pinball tables through Future Pinball direct from a source engine, kind of how Happy Chick handles emulators on Android phones. But as for the accessory, as much as I like the idea of an authentic pinball experience, it's a bit too bulky and expensive for my standards.

That intro music reminded me of a dear childhood game, Holiday Island. <a href="https://youtu.be/f-3RVpEphXw?t=29s" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/f-3RVpEphXw?t=29s</a>

I do love a positive oddware episode! Maybe if this thing was mounted to a desk, you could "slide" the top section to get those left and right tilt switches working correctly... (Thanks for the signed floppy, completely forgot and it came as a really nice surprise)

Glad you got the floppy! And yeah, you can tell it's definitely meant to mount to a desk, but I didn't feel like screwing holes just for the episode, hehe

I wonder if you could stand on it and use it like a roll n' rocker?

Sterling Treadwell

awesome! i am glad to see you finding odd and alternate ways to play with yer balls of steel!

Plywood board, screw to board, and clamp board to desk. Make sure to put rubber feet on plywood so you don't scratch your desk. Then make a follow up video!

Man... This reminds me that was working on a project to make a Pinball controller for my XBox 360 out of a wired controller I got cheap from eBay. I still have everything for it. But nothing has been constructed! lol! I seriously need to start working on that one day!

:D Well said ! If Transarctica ever gets a re-release/update it really needs more C&amp;C like controls for battles (numbered groups, selection of multiple units at once, formations, radar/battle map). And/Or a Real-Time with Pause system à la Pillars of Eternity.

Back then, here in Europe, I saw these "monsters" on store shelves all around the place! Never bought one, though.. too expensive to me back in those days.. Great video, Clint! ;) Cheers from Portugal!

no worries. We also reminisced about the MSX days and he reminded me he brought me to a and IT expo where he and his colleagues were trying to promote tech ("The new media systems" tech they put on everything with a processor back then) that would become the CDi . Apparently they R&amp;D guys all agreed it wasn't viable tech but they had to promote nonetheless :) . I have vague memories of CDs and moving pictures and whatnot.

I can't quite remember how much, but I'm pretty sure that it costed around 15.000 escudos, or 75 euros in today's currency (85 dollars)
