I am definitely considering this one. Let us know what you find out. Pinball sims are some of my favorite games, and somehow I've never even heard of this one. I still play the old Extreme Pinball title quite often. :)

I know how you feel -- that's why I was so excited when I came across this on GoG!
Still no word back from tech support. Hopefully they'll be able to address is soon.

I had this happen to me also, but only when I changed to a higher resolution in options. When I restarted the game and changed the resolution back to what it originally was, (which the menu screen also appears to be using) the game ran fine. It may be video card related; in that case, I'm using a 512 MB GeForce 8800 GT.

I went ahead and bought the game, and it turns out it won't run at all on my laptop due to requiring a TNL-compatible video card. It didn't look 3D at all in the screenshots, and to be honest other than Adventure Pinball, I've never played a pinball sim that did require a gaming video card. GOG's system requirements aren't too specific, so I felt pretty safe...but it turns out I'm going to be limited to my desktop PC on this game, which I try to avoid because that in turn limits my playtime to when I'm at home.
Hopefully I'll be able to comment more on it when I can install it on a system that will run. As of right now, it's like I basically wasted a purchase. :(

GeForce Go 7300 here, which I've checked, definitely has TnL. I've fiddled with all the resolutions and still no dice.
Tech support got back to me with a few suggestions (change resolutions, disable 3D sound) but nothing seemed to work. Hoping I can get a refund or GoG credit if I can't get this to pan out.

But are the game on GoG really tested before selling them? None of the games I bought until now had worked as it should at first try without known issue being mentioned or having problem easly notible. Service is still good but having customers to do testing it's not good.
However I have the same problem here. Until 1024x768 game works fine, from 1280x960 and so on, when table starts I can't see nothing. Only menu works (to return to menu while in this state, press Esc, down, and Enter to choose the Main menu option that you cant see).
I have a 19" LCD with native resolution of 1280x1024. I have to play at the native resolution but game doesnt support 5:4 ratio so I thought I could use 1280x960 like I do in other games. I also set a custom resolution via Nvidia Control Panel like I successfully did before but the game seams to not really see it and still try to use only supported resolution.
I think something like that should be at least mentioned on the game infos.

I did open a support question with my issue, and they changed the game's main page to note that it requires a TnL compatible video card. I'm sure they'll respond to your issues ASAP. :)

Try running it through 3D Analyze. It's a power but easy to use tool with a host of options to tweak game graphics. One of them is software TnL emulation. Basically, it uses the cpu to pick up where your video card leaves off. It's a good solution if you've got a decent processor on your laptop but a shoddy built in video chipset. I tried it on an old P3 desktop and it worked okay, so if you've got more power than that you should be fine.

I did that, and while it tricked the game into running, it still ran like crap, even at 800x600 resolution. Pinball is one of those games that *has* to run smoothly to really be playable. Any jerkiness at all just ruins the whole thing since it's all about the movement of the ball and the panning of the camera up and down the table.

I've spoken with tech support as noted above. However they have yet to reply after their first suggestions failed. Has anyone been encountered and resolved the problem I'm having?

On my computer, it crashes just shortly after the start when the screen with the girls are to be displayed with an "access violation" ... :-( (AMD 64 Bit dual core, nVidia GeForce 9400GT 512 MB).

-i had/have problems with this game too.
-when i tried to load a table i got a "seterror" message. -lowering the resolution seems to be the main key for me. (vista/nvidia)
-try everything to get these three fine boards running, and let the balls roll:)

This conversation is very interesting now that I am running a used Dell Optiplex for a main system (other one crashed permanently and could not afford to fix it) I am running a ATI Radeon VE graphcs card and the game works fine on the lower settings.
