Epic Pinball is pinball game. You control the plunger and flippers to try and send the silver ball to specific areas of the table in order to progress. The early shareware release featured only a single table called Android (later renamed to Super Android), but the registered release was sold in three different packs, each with four tables. Some of the tables are quite traditional in their design, but others, like Enigma, can only exist digitally. A later CD-ROM version of the game was released which added a 13th and final table. To add even further confusion, a couple of the tables were also released as stand-alone games. The full list of games covered by this page include the following:

Epic Pinball, Shareware
Epic Pinball, Pack 1
Epic Pinball, Pack 2
Epic Pinball, Pack 3
Epic Pinball, Enhanced CD-ROM
Crash and Burn, Stand Alone
Deep Sea, Stand Alone
Enigma, Stand Alone

Music

Epic Pinball features tracked music with digital samples and stereo output. Each table has its own custom song. The game also has its title theme, and a special song included only in Shareware releases to entice the player to buy the full version. The earliest versions of the game used the older PSM format, but the later releases used PSM2. Although some of the tracks are over 2 minutes in length, each song features two full loops for consistency.

The PSM (Beta) or PSM files are located in the install folder. Most of the music comes from the later CD-ROM release which uses PSM format. The only song in PSM (Beta) format is the Shareware Message song. The rip also includes the later sound drivers. The recording was made using DUMB Module Decoder v1.0.34.
