The final title of the series, Thrill Ride (1999) also received a Game Boy Color version, which was developed by Left Field Productions and released by Sierra in December 2000. Power (1999) was a compilation released in 1999, featuring the first game, Creep Night and Lost Continent, and as a bonus, The Incredible Machine and a demo of 3-D Ultra Golf.
It features several famous NASCAR drivers like Dale Earnhart and Bobby Labonte as playable characters, but the choice affects only audio commentaries and field decorations. The game only has 3 fields: garage, track and pitstop. It has no challenges but features 16 tables, divided in 3 "sectors": Jungle, Temple and Chambers (Heckla's Lab).Īs the title reads, it is a NASCAR-themed pinball, released in 1998. Professor Spector, his assistant Mary, and adventurer Rex Hunter try to escape back to the modern world, rescue Neeka (a tribal woman) and stop Heckla and his army of robots. It followed a storyline, in which a plane falls on an island where an evil genius, Heckla, has created dinosaurs of other animals and the cavemen who live there. Lost Continent (1997) had a Jurassic Park-like set.
This was also released with several demos of other software titles also by Sierra Online.ģ-D Ultra Pinball: Creep Night received a score of 3 out of 5 from MacUser. Like in Tower, after beating them a Catapult appears, and the player must have to hit it some times.Īfter finishing all the 3 tables, comes a changed Castle table, with 5 new challenges. The Challenges are: Gobbler (a ghost chases the ball to eat it), Spiders, Dimension Door (if hit, activates a " Simon"-like game), Trapdoor (similar to "Vortex") and Skeleton Escape (six skeletons come out of the cells for you to hit). After finishing all 5 challenges, the " Frankenstein monster" revives and is needed to hit him 5 times. The challenges are: Rat, Energy Gate (similar to Vortex, but "single-balled"), Beast, Goblin, and Dynamo. Its challenges are Zombies, Goblins, Runaway (a goblin riding an ATV runs through the table), Vortex (multi-ball, in which the player must shoot in the vortex) and Wraith (a female magnetic ghost tries to capture the ball).
