I did.
The Duke Nukem table was definitely the best.

in case someone's curious enough to blow a tenner. It was definately one of the best 'old' pinball games on the PC, besides Pro-Pinball; Future Shock

I liked this game very much. The tables have modes and a clear ruleset,
Firestorm seems to have inspired Tough Nuts Fire Reaper although there are claims by vrpinball designers who got paid for their ideas.

Apparently they made a new "balls of steel" table in Duke Nukem Forever?
Those flippers are hilarious. Gottlieb go home
edit: Wow, those out/inlanes!
Oh god.
I do definitely like the use of Duke Nukem 3D's "Stalker" as the BGM, though!

I remember a task at uni being asked to program a pinball machine.
The spec said that the flipper had to rest at 180 degrees and rise to 270. I had to conform to the spec. It was infuriating.

It was a pinball table editor. the flipper had to sit either horizontal or vertical, rotating 90 degrees in either direction. For what it was worth I was actually quite pleased with the outcome as I was able to make some pretty cool Rube Goldberg machines with the editor, rather than pinball machines. The one thing I didn't manage to get right was the flipper physics... it was still a little bit glitchy when the deadline came.
It's actually a pretty standard project used by a lot of universities. Look up Gizmoball.

3D Realms also still has the shareware version available for free download
ftp://ftp.3drealms.com/share/bossw13.exe
Only has a limited version of one of the tables, and it isn't the Duke table.

Unless it's for nostalgia's sake, I would probably pass on playing Balls of Steel nowadays.

Wish these games like this and even Epic Pinball could get rereleased for current standards (no vertical scrolling).
