 Balls
of Steel features five tables with edge and attitude. No lame circus,
zoo, or cutesy themes here! We're talking blood and gore, with
animated creatures getting splattered by your ball and laser cannons
dishing out hardcore destruction.
Balls of Steel is realistic, first and
foremost, with real physics behind the ball movement and table
obstacles. This game behaves like you'd expect it to. On top of that,
there are many special effects and table animations. Finally, we've
added event triggered music, and each table has characters that speak
during the gameplay, to you and to each other. This really adds life
to the game compared to other pinball games you've played.
Balls of Steel has two methods of
gameplay. Either via a scrolling screen, where you cannot see the
entire table at once, or via a smaller static screen where the entire
table is on screen at once.
There are 5 tables that comprise the entire Balls of Steel
package (with a sixth available separately). You can click
here to learn about the various tables that comprise Balls of
Steel.

Please note that the patches available here will patch either
v1.0, v1.1, or v1.2 of Balls of Steel, but you must apply the shareware patch to the shareware
game, or the registered patch to the registered game. The registered patch will not
work on shareware or vice versa.
USER PATCH AVAILABLE: Wildfire has ceased updating Balls of Steel. However, there is a user patch available which fixes several of the problems that the last official version (1.3) had developed. You can download this patch now, but it requires you already have the official 1.3 patch applied before use. Please keep in mind this is not an official patch from Apogee/Pinball Wizards or Wildfire. This is a third party user patch. Having said that, the patch does appear to work correctly - we cannot guarantee what will happen on your machine, though.
