 Review: Jazz Jackrabbit 2
You have to love Epic Megagames; here is the company that developed Unreal, the processor-eating polygonal giant of a game.
However, certain tricks of multi-layered backgrounding can often give a sense of depth to some of the backgrounds; the castle levels use a differently paced background through windows, a la the classic arcade game Rastan, to give a sense of movement and depth.
Epic, leave Unreal to be Unreal, DOOM to be DOOM.

 EPIC PINBALL 3 by Epic Megagames
The Epic tables are similar to thoses PINBALL FANTASIES, with two screens of wonderfully detailed graphics which scroll smoothly as the ball moves.
Some people can't stand the scrolling of the screen they prefer it to be fixed in one position, yet they couldn't have made graphics as detailed as they are with only one screen.
Epic Pinball isn't only about hitting bumper targets and getting big scores, there is as much story line as they could work in.

I think Epic Pinball was on the pc the third (second?) pinball that I got hold of, it was the shareware version.
I installed the pinball and tried out the Super Android table, I thought it was the worst I had ever seen so I played it a little and then deleted it.
This time I kind a liked it, it was ugly and buggy but it was charming and the table was actually fun, so I played on some month and "completed" it, I must say I really like this pinball even though many others don't understand why.
