Fun School 2: For the Under-6s
DOSEducational
How it plays
The game uses a screen-oriented pinball perspective showing the active table and its moving ball. The player controls the table’s flippers, launches the ball, and aims for targets, ramps, lanes, bumpers, and other scoring elements.
Tables contain different objectives and progression patterns. Successful shots can activate bonuses, multipliers, extra balls, or special modes, while the player’s score and remaining balls determine the overall run. The main activity is repeated play on the available tables, with improvement coming from memorizing layouts and controlling predictable ball routes.
Plan your run
Learn one table at a time. Watch which shots feed the flippers safely and which ramps or lanes return the ball toward the outlanes. Reliable control is usually more valuable than attempting the highest-value shot on every turn.
Prioritize shots that activate multiball, extra-ball awards, or scoring multipliers when they can be reached consistently. Keep the flippers moving deliberately, use nudges only when documented and available in the specific version, and study the table’s return paths after every missed shot.
Before you begin
Study the table layout before chasing high-value targets.
Use safer repeatable shots to build bonuses and multipliers.
Watch the ball’s return path and prepare the correct flipper early.
Epic Pinball is a DOS computer pinball game developed by Digital Extremes and published by Epic MegaGames. It presents a collection of themed pinball tables, each built around conventional flippers, targets, ramps, bumpers, lanes, and table-specific scoring features. The core premise is straightforward: keep the ball in play, complete objectives, and earn as many points as possible before losing all available balls. Its play style is arcade-focused, with an emphasis on timing, route selection, and learning each table’s layout. Epic Pinball was well regarded among DOS players for its fast action, colorful table designs, and strong presentation for a shareware-era PC game. Its individual tables and later expansions helped establish it as a notable DOS pinball series.
