So, a job well done by Danesi and his team. I think that many who may have been in doubt wether the P3 system is something for them, now may decide in favor of the P3. Contrary to previous P3 games, the interactive visual images and FX on the display are rather subtile, which helps the game to appear more as traditional pinball. ![]() Personally, I feel this game is closing the gab between traditional pinball and previous P3 games due to the use of static inserts on the LCD playfield. The game has a similar sound and music as Total Nuclear Annihilation, but is also different in many ways. ![]() Developed by Scott Danesi ( Total Nuclear Annihilation, Rick and Morty) and his team, it looks like another winner for Multimorphic.

This company manufactures the P3 pinball platform, which is a pinball machine with interchangable playfield modules that fill the top third of the playfield area.
