Some LittleWing Pinball fans created a real Tristan machine:

The Tower of Pin still has the old DOS demo for Tristan:

I remember running this on my old AST 486 machine. Somebody might want to see if it works under one of the emulators on a modern system.

Yup, that was one nice game. Simple even for the time it was released but it sure was a lot of fun. Works fine in DOSBox.

It is still one of my favorite pinball games on the computer. One of the main reasons is because it showed the entire table. I never liked the ones that you had to scroll to see the entire board. My favorite real life machine was 8 Ball Deluxe, but I hated the PC version because of the scrollling. It was very hard to aim for something off screen.

I still have the high score record from Tristan, my highest was 2,2448,400 set back in 1993.

It's really cool that someone took the time to recreate it on a real table.
