Crave Entertainment showed off its Pinball sim at At E3 this week, featuring realistic recreations of classic tables including Gorgar, Black Knight, and Space Shuttle, for the PS2, PSP and Wii, due out Summer 2007. The tables are authentic down to the sound effects and individual quirks (like Black Knight’s revolutionary-for-the-time magna-save).

Players begin the game with access to four tables, unlocking the other half as the game progresses. The game includes single-player challenge and arcade modes and multiplayer head-on matches. The tables are “classic” in the purest sense of the world. Of the three highlighted, Gorgar was the first table to feature speech, Black Knight introduced the magna-save system and bonus ball and Space Shuttle was one of the most popular boards around back in 1984.

The tables do like quite nice in action, with impressive physics and true to life sounds. Also, the title will be budget priced, though just how “budget” depends on the system. On the PS2, the game will set you back $14.99, the PSP version is set to retail at $19.99, and the Wii will command $29.99. Retro gamers, eat your hearts out.
