About Ruiner Pinball

Ruiner Pinball is a collection of two fantasy pinball tables: Ruiner and Tower. In Ruiner, a double-wide table provides challenging gameplay and real classic arcade feel as you strive to defend your country from a foreign attack and prepare a strike of your own. In Tower, the triple-length table is so eerie you'll think you've descended into Hell. The Sorceress and her wicked minions are after you. Casting three spells will bring the tower crashing down, but can you figure them out before it's too late!

Ruiner Pinball on Wikipedia

Ruiner Pinball is a 1995 pinball video game developed by High Voltage Software (HVS) and published by Atari Corporation for the Atari Jaguar. The game features two different pinball tables: the nuclear war-inspired Ruiner, and the medieval-themed Tower. Each table contains targets for the player to hit with the ball, increasing their score before the ball is lost. It was marketed as the first title to support the ProController, a redesigned Jaguar controller that added three more face buttons and two triggers.

Playing this on the stock pad is playing it in the configuration its designers were trying to escape.

High Voltage Software pitched Atari one pinball table and shipped two: Ruiner, a nuclear-war-themed double-wide (the better one), and Tower, a medieval board. Reviewers were rough on the physics, audio, and controls, and those criticisms matter most in a genre that IS a ball responding to a flipper — though later reassessments have been kinder.

The historical hook: this was marketed as the first title supporting the Jaguar ProController, whose shoulder triggers finally put flipper buttons under your index fingers. Pinball is exactly the genre the 1995 controller redesign existed for.

Before you buy

Moderately common, inexpensive, soft demand. Flag ProController compatibility in listings — it materially changes the game. Included in Atari 50, which gives casual buyers a legal alternative.
