3D Pinball Express is a pinball simulation for the Windows 95 platform. The game features three-dimensional graphics, full screen or scrolling tables, tilt, three difficulty levels on four different simulated machines, and support for mouse, keyboard, or joystick play.

The four different tables available in 3D Pinball Express are the Big Top, the Happy Kitchen, Incoming, and Terrormeister. Each table features three-dimensional animation, ramps, tunnels, ball traps, jackpots, bonuses, rollovers, drop targets, and multiball play.

No matter which table players choose, they can always earn extra balls by hitting big scores. Options allow players to set the number of balls per game, graphics resolution, and backgrounds.
