| 4 | ''Extreme Pinball'' is a [[DigitalPinballTables pinball video game]] developed by Creator/DigitalExtremes and Creator/EpicMegagames, and published by Electronic Arts for MS-DOS computers and the Sony Platform/PlayStation. It was the first game by Digital Extremes, though founder James Schmalz had previously created ''VideoGame/{{Silverball}}'' and ''VideoGame/EpicPinball''. |

| 6 | The game has the following tables: |
| 7 | * "Rock Fantasy" |
| 8 | * "Medieval Knights" |
| 9 | * "Urban Chaos" |
| 10 | * "Monkey Mayhem" |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Compared to Epic Megagames' earlier pinball titles, ''Extreme Pinball'' featured higher-resolution graphics and taller playfields. Unfortunately, the game failed to catch on; players found the tables sparse and dull, multiball locks the camera at the bottom of the playfield, and the dot-matrix display took up a fair amount of screen space, making the scrolling view claustrophobic as a result. Worse, the table view lagged slightly behind the ball, making it easy to lose track of the game, and the floaty physics prevents catching or trapping it. |

| 14 | The [=PlayStation=] version was released via Platform/PlayStationNetwork in 2010. |
