Review for Digital Pinball: Last Gladiators on Sega Saturn from Sega Pro 49 - September 1995 (UK)

Now, I don't say something like this often, but I think this review is just terrible.
As someone who has been into pinball since the late 70's and digital pinball since the MB Microvision, which came out in 1979, I think I can definitely comment on this.

Kaze was at the top in their field with both this and Necronomicon on Saturn.
So this review is way off.

To emphasise just how serious Kaze took their craft, they even did a rerelease of Last Gladiators with the updated physics that they developed when creating the Necronomicon.

So yeah, 52%, my rear end! :blobcatscared:

@OutofPrintArchive Kaze's work in the pinball video game field is very underappreciated. They certainly deserve to be on the same pedestal as the Pro Pinball series.

@wildweasel @OutofPrintArchive I'm amazed I hadn't come across them yet...if they're this good then I know what I'm doing tonight

@lunarloony @OutofPrintArchive It's especially worth tracking down their SNES "Super Pinball" games ("Behind the Mask" got a US release, "The Amazing Odyssey" is Japan-only) - the immediate predecessors to Digital, with the same focus on the 3D table view and realistic ball physics. First one's table layouts are slightly sparse, but it's still highly impressive to see it work on an SNES, with no additional hardware.
