''Pro Pinball'' is the name for a series of DigitalPinballTables originally developed by Creator/CunningDevelopments (later Silverball Studios, now Barnstorm Games). Each game is a single, highly-detailed pinball table, and the series strives for realistic pinball action and deep rulesets, delivering an experience comparable to those in [[PhysicalPinballTables arcade pinball games]] of TheNineties.
All of the originally ''Pro Pinball'' games used pre-rendered playfields, giving the player a choice of several predefined camera positions. This allowed the games to offer both photorealistic graphics and fast action, but at the expense of any sort of dynamic camera. The series has been praised by pinball enthusiasts for its highly realistic physics engine, which remains among the best available even today.
In 2012, Silverball Studios announced plans to revive the series for today's audiences by "remastering" all of the original games with fully modeled three-dimensional tables for all modern gaming platforms. On top of that, a new game is under development for the series; to guarantee an authentic pinball experience, it is being created by pinball designer Creator/PatLawlor and artist Creator/JohnYoussi.
The ''Pro Pinball'' series consist of the following games:
* ''Pro Pinball: The Web''
* ''[[VideoGame/ProPinballTimeshock Pro Pinball: Timeshock!]]''
* ''[[VideoGame/ProPinballBigRaceUSA Pro Pinball: Big Race USA]]''

As with other ''Pro Pinball'' games, ''The Web'' uses a CGI playfield pre-rendered in several camera positions, allowing the game to have both fast gameplay and detailed graphics.
''The Web'' was lauded as one of the most realistic digital pinball games ever on its release; subsequent ''Pro Pinball'' titles have eclipsed it with their more complex gameplay, but the game still holds up well today.

All of the originally ''Pro Pinball'' games used pre-rendered playfields, giving the player a choice of several predefined camera positions. This allowed the games to offer both highly detailed graphics and fast action, but at the expense of any sort of dynamic camera. The series has been praised by pinball enthusiasts for its highly realistic physics engine, which was among the best available at the time of their release.

The first 'Pro Pinball'' game is ''Pro Pinball: The Web''. It was originally released in 1996 for the IBMPersonalComputer, then later ported to the AppleMacintosh, SonyPlayStation, and SegaSaturn.
The nominal story of ''The Web'' casts the player as a motorcycle rider who has been sent out to challenge the "Dark Queen".

!!''Pro Pinball: The Web'' demonstrates the following tropes:
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: ''The Web'' has a rather generous ball saver at the launch of each ball.
* BugWar: Presumably, this is the Dark Queen's plan.
* CollisionDamage: Done in the "Biker Challenge" mission, where you must repeatedly make key shots to bump your opponent off the road.
* {{Combo}}: Performing at least 15 combos are needed to get Combo Mania. Furthermore, players who shoot a long sequence of combo shots are recognized as the "Combo Champion".
-->ULTRA COMBO!
* ExcusePlot: The official story is rather vague, and the actual tasks you perform don't really fit into any coherent narrative, so just roll with it.
* FixedCamera
* FrenchJerk: The Dark Queen comes across like this at times, particularly with her indecipherable accent.
-->''"Imbecile."''
* GoingCritical: One of the Missions.
* GotTheWholeWorldInMyHand: The Dark Queen is seen clutching the world with both hands on the backglass.
* RampJump: Done with the Bike Ramp.
* SkillShot: Shoot the Dock ramp after launch for the Skill Shot. Alternately, shoot the Loop and then the Dock Ramp for a Super Skill Shot.
* TakeOverTheWorld: The Dark Queen's goal, duh.
* TimedMission: All of the Missions.
* VideoMode: Available at Power Level 5; various obstacles approach the player, who must use the flipper buttons to shoot down hazards while allowing beneficial items to pass intact.
* WizardMode: After completing all of the Missions and getting Combo Mania, Power Level 8, the maximum bonus, and the Ultra Jackpot, the game starts "Ultimate Showdown", a six-ball multiball mode with a 30-second ball saver. Hit the spinner enough times to corner the Dark Queen, then [[Franchise/MortalKombat Finish Her]] for a ''one billion'' point bonus.
