Peggle....should be called CRACK-ROCK-LE !!


Oh dear God is this game fucking addicting!!!! A simple concept to work with. You have 10 balls and must hit 25 orange pegs to clear a level. You can aim the shot before it is fired off, but after that, the ball just randomly pops off each peg until it drops through the screen. If you get lucky, there is a ball basket swinging back and forth at the bottom of the screen and hitting it means a free ball. The game is deceptive because there is actually quite a bit of strategy involved. Each level has a host avatar each with their own unique powers that are activated after hitting a green peg. A unicorn shows you the trajectory of your shot, while an Egyptian cat widens the free ball bucket at the bottom to give you an extra couple of bounces before leaving the screen. The best part is that when you hit that last annoying peg you get an explosion of Beethoven's Ode to Joy as a reward............bliss! Don't ever play this game....if you do.....you will become obsessed and it will ruin your life, but in the most amazing possible way!!! Which reminds me, I must play now......the crack-peggle-pipe calls and I am too weak willed to resist.
