Gameplay
Up to four players can choose between multiple viewing perspectives, including a top-down 2D view and a 3D full-table view.
There are six tables, each with a particular theme: "Fun Fair", "Star Quest 2049", "The Gangster", "The Monster", "Roadking U.S.A.", and "Myst & Majik".
Development
On PC, the game supports 320 x 200, 640 x 480, and 800 x 600 resolutions, but only the 640x480 resolution supports all three view options, with some requiring more RAM.
Reception
Next Generation gave the MS-DOS version of the game four stars out of five; although generally commending the title, they noticed that some elements are missing, such as control of tilt sensitivity, number of balls, and table angles. Computer Gaming World found the tables to be beautiful and target rich. PC Gamer praised the graphics and audio (with the soundtrack played directly from the CD), and said the game would be near perfect if it had lower system requirements, and had a few more options such as the ability to adjust the table angle.
The Saturn version was praised for having "near perfect" controls, the sound was also praised. The graphics were commended for looking good, but the ball was found to move too quickly in the 2D view, with the ball easier to track in the 3D view, but with parts of the table obscured. In contrast, Intelligent Gamer found the game to be bland and misrepresentative to call it "Hyper" or "3-D". The physics of the ball were poor. In 1998, Saturn Power ranked the game 94th on their Top 100 Sega Saturn Games saying the game is worth a few tries.
