Zen Pinball World Updates
We recently covered Zen Pinball World and had some nice things to say about it. Eleven new tables are now available for purchase either as individuals or as bundles. Players will be able to transfer these tables from Zen’s previous title, Williams Pinball, to Zen Pinball World as long as they are on the same platform and are on or above 2 stars in Williams Pinball.
These eleven tables include:
Monster Bash™
The Creature From The Black Lagoon™
Medieval Madness™
The Getaway: High Speed II™
Junk Yard™
Attack from Mars™
Black Rose™
The Party Zone™
Theatre of Magic™
Safe Cracker™
The Champion Pub™

My Take
Obviously, I’m a huge fan of pinball. If fact, my co-hosts are sick of hearing me praise Zen Studios’ offerings for the past several years. With that said, any new content is always welcome for a pinball fanatic. While my personal preference will always be to play on Xbox, it warms my heart to see this platform be available on more places for people to check out. If you haven’t gotten the pinball bug yet, I highly recommend trying any platform. The physics are genuinely impressive, and competing with friends on leaderboards is a blast. I’m very happy to see these games available on mobile platforms.
