Peggle Nights - PC

I have this one along with the original Peggle and they’re both my favorite go to games above all others… Classic fun that reminds me of pinball, another of my addictions from back in the day and it looks and runs great on my windows 10… well worth the money!!!

For those not familiar with Peggle... Peggle is game that feels a bit like Plinko (from The Price is Right) with a slight pinball like feel to it. The game is very simple, but it leads to addiction fast. The idea behind Peggle is that you start with 10 balls and must remove all the "red" colored dots / rectangles off the screen. Included on the screen will be blue versions of the dots which serve simply to rack up points (and hinder your progress to hit the red ones). The more red peggles you hit, the higher your multiplier will grow. Every 25,000 pts earned on a single shot will grant you a free ball. Simple game that ends up being crazy fun as you try to beat your own high score!Peggle Nights is technically its own game (and install), but it feels more like an Add-on for for the original Peggle Deluxe. The game plays identical to the original with 10 levels, each containing 5 stages. Each stage has a "Peggle Master" which grants you a special ability triggered by hitting a green peggle. All 10 masters return in the exact same order as in Peggle, however there is now an 11th level which involves a new Peggle Master and of course, a new ability. The "master" levels are now on Stage 12. If you have already played Peggle (or own it) Peggle Nights simply brings 60 new peggle maps for you to venture into, as well as a new set of challenges. The theme for this version of Peggle is that all the masters are now dreaming as it is now the evening. All the Peggle maps creatively represent the various images they are having while dreaming.If you are unfamiliar with the game of Peggle you might want to check out the original (  Peggle  ) first. There is a free 60 minute trial on the official Pop Cap website. If you are already obsessed with Peggle and are looking for some more Peggle action, this game certainly will satisfy your cravings; Just keep in mind that this game will play almost identical to the original but with completely new maps.NOTE: Peggle Nights also has a free 60 minute trial version on the official Pop Cap website. If you are unsure about a purchase of Peggle/Peggle Nights then just check out the trial.** I have provided a link in the comment section which takes you to the official Pop Cap page for Peggle and Peggle NightsNOTE: If you do install the trial then purchase a retail copy, make sure you uninstall your trial copy before installing the full retail version.

The sound effects, along with the brilliantly vibrant colors, play a crucial role in the game. Every time you hit a peg, an effect resonates, with each a pitch higher than the last. This kind of design keeps you riveted to the screen, even though you're pretty much helpless to control much of anything after you've launched your shot. Yet you sit there in a gleeful stupor listening to the sounds build, watching the explosions of bonus points and hoping for the best.Then there's the big payoff at the end, when the last orange peg is hit, the game screen zooms in, moves into slow motion to emphasize the importance of the moment, and from your speakers explodes a rendition of Beethoven's Ode to Joy alongside bright sparkles, polychromatic explosions, and eye-searing rainbows.Even if you miss that last peg by a small margin, the screen still zooms in and drum roll sound effect is still played, and you'll find yourself moaning aww in disappointment along with the crowd in the game.PopCap knew exactly what they were doing when designing this title, and everything's pulled off remarkably well.You don't have all that much control over how games of Peggle play out, PopCap still managed to create an engaging experience by infusing the addictive qualities of slot and pachinko machines into its title through a masterful implementation of sound effects and color. So while you can never predict exactly where the ball will bounce, you'll want to keep playing just to see if you can get it right the next time.With Peggle Nights, PopCap offers a bunch of new boards and a few new features, though the gameplay is more or less unchanged. Still, Peggle fans should absolutely dive in, and if you've never tried Peggle, you really should. Just make sure you've got some time to spare before you load it up.Quirky characters that spout nonsensical phrases, an excellent board layout and even a colorblind mode. A shiny, polished game.These graphics are really impressive. The use of color is expertly implemented to reinforce the game's addictive qualities.Crisp, clear effects that greatly enhance the game's appeal and staying power.This isn't a title you play for 20 minutes, it's something you'll want to continue coming back to.Just a really fun game! Quite time consuming - a rainy day game for sure.

I bought this for my brother and he just loves it. Great purchase.

It's similar to the other peggle game, but is different enough to keep you playing. My kids and husband even play it also! I think it's safe to say that we all like it and will keep playing it. I like pinball type games without all the movement and things to control which is what this game is like. I can even turn down the volume so it doesn't sound like a casino! Yeah.

We couldn't stop playing the demo version, now my husband & I can't stop playing the full version. It's great! Some of the levels are more challenging than others, but there's always trying to beat the existing scores. It also has enough variations (creatures with a power) that it would take a long time to get bored with it. This game is a combination of pinball & I'm not exactly sure what else. It's fun, it's challenging & it can be very addictive. The graphics are excellent. We like it so well, we may get the original Peggle to go with it.

This is a very simple, but compulsive game. When playing, I keep on without tiring of it, even though there isn't a lot of variety. It's like a cross between pinball and breakout. You aim your ball shooter and try to knock out certain dots and bars, before you run out of balls to shoot.

good game well pleased

Love this game been playing it for two days now-It's like an old pinball arcade game plus your taken out the orange pegs with a silver ball and competing for high scores. Great pass time. It plays on Windows 7 even though it's not mentioned on game pack.

[...] Peggle NightThis computer game is as advertised and I find myself trying to win a trophy. I budget my time playing the game because it is so much fun that I don't want to stop. I recommend the game to anyone who loves a challenge.

Addictive and fun, it's hard to stop playing once you've started. Works well on windows 7 system. very quick install.
