There are no other dents or damage to the game box. history of the game:With the original intent to create a division for every gender of game Apogee produced, the two brand names 3D Realms (formed in July 1994) and the now disused Pinball Wizards were created. Instead of publishing every game under Apogee as it had been in the past, the goal of this strategy was to create a different brand for each game genre, making each new game identifiable based on which brand it belonged to. This enabled Apogee to target different markets.However, many of those varied genres such as platform or scrolling shooter (that were much of Apogee's early releases) were slowly dying out in the late 1990s, which made this strategy unnecessary. In addition, due to the increasingly lengthy development time in producing a game title, video game publishers were no longer releasing titles at the rapid rate at which they once were.3D Realms was created in 1994 for the 3D game Terminal Velocity and was responsible for the latest installments of the successful Duke Nukem games and for producing the Max Payne series (earlier 3D games like Rise of the Triad were released under the Apogee name). The Pinball Wizards name was created for the 1997 pinball title Balls of Steel, but hasn't been used since.Balls of Steel is a pinball computer game developed by Wildfire Studios and released on September 3, 1997. It is the only game to be published under the Pinball Wizards label, a division of Apogee Software (today known as 3D Realms).tables:Balls of Steel features five original pinball tables:Darkside: Set on a remote space station under attack by alien creatures.Barbarian: A classic medieval fantasy quest with a huge dragon on the table.Firestorm: Set in a crime-ridden US city, a mad bomber is on the loose.Mutation: Set in an underground science lab where a biohazardous accident has occurred and a large, slimy monster has taken over the lab.Duke Nukem: A special table featuring the Apogee video game character Duke Nukem.Duke Nukem tie-inThe game includes a table based on the Apogee/3D Realms video game Duke Nukem 3D including graphics from that game and original voice-overs by Nukem actor Jon St. John.
