60 of 183 · most liked firstThere are almost 20 different Worms games out there all following the same concept of being turn-based, artillery tactical games. Now, throughout the years there were some silly spin-off titles such as the golf titles and already in the late '90s (the first Worms game was released in 1995) there was a pinball version. Back then this was actually called Addiction Pinball and it included more tables. This "new", cut-down version only includes one table based on the Worms franchise (World Rally…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms Pinball is funny for a while but there is only one table so the game experience gets boring pretty soon. Sounds and graphics are cool.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's just a pinball table with a Worms theme. It's fun but nothing else. Don't buy it for under two or three dollars.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a fine table for its time that's still relatively solid only real minus for me that is that there doesn't seem to be a way to nudge the table sideways so that's really frustrating when you can't save the ball from draining with a well applied body english to the left or right. Overall... still playable in today's brave new world 25 years later (helps I think I got it in a real cheap bundle with a bunch of worm games and what not a while ago). Hopefully WW3 doesn't get in the way of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not good. It worked the way it should, but it's just not good. Only one table, and the design of that is terrible. The color scheme is way too contrasting and distracting. Because of this, it's sometimes hard to follow what is actually happening, where the ball is, and what anything on the table actually does. Irl this might have been decent, but on pc, there's so much more better games you could be playing. Even if you really like pinball, there's a lot better pinball games out there.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OVERALL RATING: 3 out 5 stars Worms Pinball - $7.99 People who wish to claim they put this out: Team17 Digital Ltd Consists of 1 Table with 3 Balls per play. Played on an i-7, 16 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 1070 8GB RAM, 2 TB 7200 RPM HDD Positives: The Game didn't crash on me and for a game that came out orignally in 1998 it has really held up well! Gameplay is entertaining, physics feels similar to Epic Pinball to me. Negatives: Price is the deamon for this, who wants to pay that high for an old…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pinball licensing is a blessing and a curse. Without the Worms IP this would probably have one-tenth as many reviews, but they would all be positive. I played the Worms games back when using a home computer was considered a hobby. I didn't find them particularly interesting or fun (I preferred Lemmings), and I would never buy any of them. Similarly I don't expect most people buying a bundle of Worms games to enjoy or even understand pinball in 2025 (whereas in 1998, far more (adult) people…

Shove off with your ruddy Overubbish and Counter-Shod – this is the gaming experience which yearns to flow in the veins of our fingers.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This pinball game is simply broken beyond me being able to get it run properly. You know that it is going to be a great experience by the fact that the max resolution is 1024x768, there is no mouse input and you can not figure out the control buttons. Last one being due to the fact that the game doesn't seem to be reading the input correctly even after rebinding the keys multiple times in a separate half working configuration program found in the game folder. I just gave up on it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A long time ago I owned this game on CDROM - It had two tables. World Rally Fever and Worms Pinball. These games were awesome at the time and run smooth. It was a decent competition to Pro Pinball although I liked that series better for 2D Pinball. Game is most memorable for its CD Audio tracks in game to accompany the dot matrix screen and does a good job of reproducing the actual pinball experience. No lag in between the audio and the dot matrix action going on. It's just a silky smooth…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms Pinball (1998) So this game baffles me a bit. Its a Worms pinball game without the worms which is kinda the selling point... As a pinball game... well I mean its a pinball game... you launch the ball, hit it around a bit and build up score. Shake the machine too much and it tilt, freezing and you can only watch helplessly as the ball falls downward. The only reason this review is negative is because its a Worms game without the worms. As a pinball game its fine. I mean if you waited a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Probably one of the better pinball games out there. Furthermore it works perfectly under Steam Play for Linux. Which is good, because an old, low-cost, game like this will never recieve a port. I got this as part of a bundle of Team17 games, and I have to say I am surprised by how good it is. It is probably one of the more accurate pinball games of it's era. It's not as accurate as the newest games, but it's still very good, and it's excellent considering it's era. Physics are pretty…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Meh. It's pinball. I enjoy pinball, but I'm not a big enough fan to tell you if it's a good table or not It has worms SFX so that's fun I'd give it a 👍 if you could adjust the volume
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms Pinball is a curious relic from an era when PC pinball games were common and branded spin-offs were treated as playful experiments rather than full productions. Developed and published by Team17 Digital Ltd, it attempts to blend the tactile satisfaction of a physical pinball table with the humor and charm of the Worms franchise. The result is a single, self-contained table packed with gadgets, ramps, traps, and animated elements inspired by the chaotic warfare of the original Worms games.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i hate it so much
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've never really understood the appeal of digital pinball. To me, it's a game that provides a very tactile experience on an intricately built machine and that's the real beauty of it. So when it comes to the inevitable pinball spin-offs of beloved franchises, the only thing I can truly appreciate is when developers go out of their way to mesh the unique gameplay elements that fans expect from them with a pinball twist. Unfortunately, Worms Pinball hardly accomplishes this. This game never had…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In this day and age i cant see any reason why you would want to buy Worms Pinball. There is only 1 table, no resolution setting higher than 1024 p, table is obnoxiously crowded with distracting pictures that make it hard to follow the ball and it takes around 10 mins to see everything it has to offer. Its not a bad game even though it has a lot of flaws but there are tons of other pinball games that are much better. Unless you bought the worms bundle, i suggest avoiding this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hum... Fine, not a big deal, but fine. This is a pinball game featuring the Worms. Old graphics but decent. Music is ok but not much variety. No story. No bugs or crashes. Runs fine on Win 7. Now, this is old. It's not too interesting, kinda basic. It's entertaining for a couple of hours or playing a round now and then. It´s totally a product from the past century with all the good and bad. I think I got this in a bundle and that is adequate cause paying full price would not feel very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Compared to most pinball games, even older ones, this one is limited. One table and settings are pretty limited.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Get it like I did on sale for $1.50. For a game from 1998, using pre-rendered CGI graphics like an old Playstation Game...it's actually, pretty damn good? I play pinball competitively, so I am bias, but this is a well designed table, and it plays pretty well. The physics are pretty good, but (like most pinball games) it doesn't calculate a "spin" on the ball, but other than that, it's a satisfying dollar fifty.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i could play this forever on a cool tropical island with tide pools and gentle waves!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great series with lots of fun! You will find this entire pack on sale!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not worth the asking price, just one table of pinball. Gets old fast.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only supports up to 1024x768. Crashes really easily. Doesn't give you any clues how to play, have to figure out keys for yourself. (Enter launches ball, SHIFT keys control flippers) Not really worth your time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So this game has just been sitting in my Steam ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for god knows how long... Today I decided to install it and see what's up. It's old as ♥♥♥♥! That's not a detering factor for me though. I like plenty of old games. I was a bit curious why this game ony had one table and was very barren and quite unlike other Worms games. Apparently this is because it was part of another game called Addiction Pinball released in 1998 and this table was made for it. It's unclear if the game only had two…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ripp off. Well it's a pinball game, what can i say. Pro - funny worms theme and sounds, music Con - limited options screen, resolution - 3 letter only high score name system - only 1 table design, really lazy - very big gap between the paddles 6/10 rating, get it on discount if you really want it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As expected, a very outdated game. Too outdated, too boring
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best damn game on earth.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent pinball game. Get it on sale. Only one table, but fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy this. If it's part of a bundle you can give it a quick 10 minutes or so. It's just one pinball table though, it's not exactly the most visually appealing table either. Resolution is also mildly scuffed as its 1024 x 768 at most. Also, the game never goes over the controls. You press enter to start the game. Left and right shift control the flippers. This game's price is similar to Terraria, Terraria will provide you with over a hundred hours of content. This game? Less than half an…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm glad i got this in a humble bundle with 4 other worms games for 1€. Are they insane charging 7,99€ for this? It should be freeware. 1 table, nothing else, nothing. And that one is totally boring. DONT BUY IT!!! Boring music and the usual worm voice samples. It's an old game, so i'm no going to complain about the low resolution, bad graphics (but now you know). I'm shocked to see this cost 7,99€ - there is ALMOST no content in the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The ultimate in meta gaming. Two of the best classic arcade style games cross paths in worms pinball. This isn't just your average pinball game. Love the sound-track!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Since Worms Pinball is currently on sale and I used to like to play it on the PlayStation, I thought, out of nostalgia, you can treat yourself to it. Unfortunately, the game is not complete in the Steam version. The World Rally Fever table is completely missing. There is really only one Worms pinball table. It's a shame that the World Raly Fever table has been removed without replacement. The World Rallye Fever table which was included as second table on the Worms Pinball PlayStation version…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, if there weren't any cheap, and straight up free Pinball games(only one table but still) on Steam, I might've given this game a pass, But on its own, its just very lackluster. For starters, you only get one pinball table, wouldn't be a problem if it was a very fun table, with tons of gimmicks, but there aren't that many, You get a few non pinball mini games you can play, if you manage to activate said mini games, I only got to play super sheep one, and its very simplistic phone…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not much to say about it it okay pinball is always a fun time i this for like 70 cent from a key site i would not pay full price for this game every
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This one? Exactly my thing. Worms Pinball looks old-school, sounds goofy… and plays like a perfect mix of pinball + Worms chaos. Pinball vibe? Strong. Worms humor? Still there. If you already love pinball, this just hits different. Same addictive “just one more round” feeling – but with Worms-style animations, sounds, and that goofy charm on top. It’s not trying to reinvent anything. It just combines two things that already work – and it works. ✅ Perfect for pinball fans ✅…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In 2026, as we celebrate the 15th anniversary of 'Worms Pinball,' it's time to admit the harsh truth: this game is nothing more than a forgettable relic, a poor attempt to cash in on a beloved franchise. #Retro #RetroGaming #UnpopularOpinion #PS1 #WormsPinball
unlabelledView post →Original price is too high, but at sale? Why not, not bad game if you look at time when it was done (1998)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If anyone buys this game aside from just buying the Worms Collection, you're just insane. This game is really just for boomers that want that old-school feeling over 90's pinball games that are oddly Worms related. PC port is horrible, took me a solid five minutes to just figure out the controllers, only one board for a pinball game, although some interesting mini-games and random moments that make you go 'oh wow' there really isn't anything here. UI is horrible, game doesn't have a whole lot…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms Pinball is a spinoff of the popular Worms series. Pinball isn't necessarily something I've played a lot, but since it was part of the Worms collection I just gave it a try. The game definitely shows its age. The resolution maxes out at 1024x768 and there are no instructions. Not that it really needs it; the controls are simple enough that I got the hang of it after a few rounds. Unfortunately, there is only one basic pinball table. The Worms theme definitely makes the table a bit more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's so basic that I got bored of it after the short time that I played it. There's nothing there to entice a player to keep going for a high score or whatever, no real point to push forward. I'd be surprise to hear if this was someone's favorite game, just do yourself a favor and go play something else.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot say this is a terrible pinball game. It's extremely dated (made in 1998), granted, but it's honestly still entertaining. The sound effects are decent enough, the physics function to a degree on par with 1998. The ball sometimes gets spun and distorts the hitbox, there is no option to rebind keys (L/R Shift for the respective flipper and RETURN for plunger), and there's a weird delay (either intentional to mimic real world machines or as a byproduct of faster computers than the game can…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The physics are dated, but the fun factor is still surprisingly high 24 years later. I'm willing to bet that the guys who made this are pinheads, because there is a lot of attention to detail here, and the table has a decent flow, and good variety. And it even has vertical screen support built in. Only one table though, so unless you're a pinball maniac, it may be best to wait for a sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i actually love this game, brought my family back together and my kids finally love me for something
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Late-1990s PC video pinball game from Team17’s Addiction Pinball, which this release (sadly) is only half the game since that game had a World Rally Fever table based on the Team17 game. Licensing issues? Still, a very solid game as the Worms table is the better half. Solid physics that feels like a weird hybrid of the first Pro Pinball game (The Web) and the rest of that series; while not quite the Pro Pinball (post-The Web) levels of accuracy, but still solid physics compared to most video…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Realistic and fun. Bit low res. Get it on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good fun pinball game graphics are clearly old but still playable and not to easy not to hard I will play again if I feel the need for pinball
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →8€ for this game? Its just not offering any content while being an really old game. Really, don't buy it, it's not worth it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While this is a product of its time it has aged very well and is still a lot of fun to play. The physics are good considering it came out so long ago. The table uses a fan laying and has a lot of depth for a pinball game that isn't based on a real table.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got this for nostalgic reasons, disappointed it didn't come with the other table.
