Subject: Iphone: Last Gladiators Pinball
Last Gladiators was originally released for Sega's awesome Saturn console. I never really liked it, 'cause I played the sequel (Necronomicon) first, and it was superior in many ways. Now though, Last Gladiators gets all my play time, for two simple reasons:
Basically, BeXide fixed all of the annoying things in the game: no more long gaps in music playback as the CD flicked from track to track, no more giant 'aim here!' boxes covering parts of the playfield, and a tweaked table that was more predictable with better flow.

This is SO ANNOYING! I get it, go away.
Now, instead of an anemic-sounding game that never really felt right, it's a solid, fast pinball game that's free to taste (to buy all three extra tables costs $15). The music is awesome, the sound effects satisfactory, the graphics as good as the original (though lower res, obviously) and - overall - it's fantastic.

Ahh, this is good stuff right here.
You might recognize this table: BeXide released the identical table with an Ultraman theme a few months ago. This one is much better than the Ultraman release, for many reasons.
Note too that I'm comparing this new release to the Version 9.7 Saturn release, which was a tweaked version of the original game. So, it's the third revision, and it's finally awesome. Highly recommended!!
