It’s therefore hard to appreciate the pinball’s journeying when everything is so painfully slow. Six camera angles should have increased the immersion, but instead they’re beset by varying degrees of slow-down that range from noticeable to excruciating. TGC is too often ponderous, lethargic and weighed down by unconvincing physics, something that is really quite hard to forgive when it’s only the ball that does any travelling. Therefore to keep the player happy, they must offer a sprightly tempo, responsive controls that give you the sense that your erm, ‘flippings’ are making a difference, and that skill is rewarded. Pinball games are all about feel, accurate physics, and a sense of involvement. Sadly, either Gottlieb’s tables (which, let’s not forget, survived and thrived for the better part of sixty-five years) were a bit of a misery to play or, more likely, FarSight’s game does a poor job of simulating them. It’s all about two words: ‘faithful recreation’.

In a game so specialist, fans aren’t interested in bells, whistles and million-dollar special effects. The Gottlieb Collection is a no-frills retro package that, at the outset, allows the player to pour over seven authentic Gottlieb pinball machines, their release dates spanning more than half a century. But as endearing a trawl down memory lane as it may represent to aficionados, there’s no disguising the fact that it doesn’t make for a very good video game.
