Hollywood Pinball

Review
Also known as
ハリウッドピンボール

Features seven movie-inspired tables where you complete special quests for high scores.

Hollywood Pinball was developed by Tarantula Studios and published by Take-Two Interactive for Game Boy Color in 1999. It is an original title for the platform, not a port of an earlier game, so the original release year is also 1999.

About Hollywood Pinball

Hollywood Pinball is a pinball video game for the Game Boy Color. Its seven themed tables draw inspiration from various movie genres, featuring subjects like a shark, a secret agent, a space conflict, and a mythological temple. The core objective across all tables is consistent: to maintain ball play for as long as possible to achieve a high score.

Points are earned by striking standard pinball elements such as bumpers. Each table also includes a specific multi-step objective, like gathering items by hitting them and then activating a special target, which yields a substantial point reward. While the themes vary, the fundamental table layout and mechanics do not present major differences from one to another.
