Microsoft Pinball Arcade is a 1998 action game developed by Microsoft and published by Classified Games.
Microsoft has released a half-game, half-simulation in Microsoft Pinball Arcade. Not only is it a set of seven pinball machines that you can play, but it's also a set of faithful reproductions of classic machines throughout the ages.
Licensed and developed by Gottlieb & Company, the virtual replicas of classic pinball machines include Battle Ball (1931), Humpty Dumpty (1947), Knock Out (1950), Slick Chick (1963), Spirit of '76 (1976), Haunted House (1982), and Cue Ball Wizard (1992).
Each table is faithfully reproduced with photo-quality graphics, down to detailed glass backplates with the scores and bonus indicators. Gameplay on the PC is designed to be just like the play on the original 300-pounds metal machines. Just pull back the plunger and go!
Microsoft Pinball Arcade is abandonware and no longer sold or supported by its publishers. Files are archived here for these platforms:
The main menu etc. has normal colors, but any of the actual game tables are only in black & white.
Has anyone any idea, what causes this and how to fix it? (If there’s any way to fix it in a first place.)
This same thing has occured in some other older pinball games, that I’ve tried to play.
I’m trying to play these games with my secondary computer, which is running under Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and my DirectX version is DX11.
The GPU in my PC is GeForce GTX 750Ti.
