Pinball Wizard
Was there ever a game called Pinball Wizard for the Oric? It is mentioned here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accolade_(company)
I wonder if it was called something else on the Oric or if it wasn't released (???)
EDIT. The last bracket gets missed of the link for some reason. Add it on to get the right page.

Re: Pinball Wizard
Never heared of it... But the old games chase is full of surprises, so we should keep our eyes open!
Re: Pinball Wizard
Its called "Macadam Bumper" on Oric, and was marketed as "Pinball Wizard" in the US ..

EDIT: Seems that these guys could do with some Oric screenshots:

Pity the girl picture for the scorepanel and the colours were missed from the Oric version. Never compared playability, though, but in the speccy it was fun!

Re: Pinball Wizard
Oh - I thought Pinball Wizard would be different to Macadam Bumper, but it does look basically the same. Macadam Bumper sounds a bit more American to me.
So is Accolade the parent company of Ere ? And then it was Infogrames. Did Infogrames buy Accolade or vice versa?

I will correct it in the first post

Re: Pinball Wizard
A complete guess but I would imagine Accolade just purchased the rights to publish the game in the US, a bit like how US GOLD used to publish American games in the UK.Steve M wrote:Oh - I thought Pinball Wizard would be different to Macadam Bumper, but it does look basically the same.
