About Future Pinball

Future Pinball — Sonic table

Future Pinball has been around for many years. It is a platform that allows creators to build tables without using ROMs. Unfortunately Future Pinball development stopped in 2010.

There are excellent tables on Future Pinball. Some very good table designers like Terry Red, SlamTilt, Shiva, Ravarcade and many more have created breathtaking tables.

BAM — Better Arcade Mode

A major game changer for Future Pinball is the amazing work from Ravarcade, creator of BAM (Better Arcade Mode). The freeware is available to download for free and is a must in order to run any modern FP tables. Ravarcade also offers an all-in-one installer for Future Pinball and BAM — this will optimize the perspective of your gameplay.

⚠️ BAM is required to run most modern Future Pinball tables.
