[Played an english patched version on the MiSTer FPGA]

I miss the era when just about every franchise had a pinball spinoff and had their own unique take on the format.

Super Robot Wars features giant robot fights after a certain amount of bumpers hit where you can summon a robot from a variety of series (Gundam, Mazinger, Neon Genesis Evangelion, etc) that will arrive with a midi version of that show's theme music to fight an enemy robot from a variety of mecha properties. The mechs even do small versions of super attacks just like in the main SRW series.

The actual physics are not as tight as later pinball video games, but the creativity here is incredible.
