That's no photoshop. I managed to get Epic Pinball running on my Compaq SLT/286. It plays well enough, but the ball moves too quickly for that monochrome display, so I have to use an external monitor. It helps that I used EMU386 :3
I actually had Pinball Arcade (A compilation that included Pinball Dreams and other tables from that series) running on a PS/2 Model 50 with PC speaker for sound and a Backpack parallel port CD-ROM. Pretty cool that it ran as well as it did.
I had a horribly slow Pinball game on my 8088, kinda thought it was Epic Pinball. Hmm.. by memory I think it looked more like full tilt pinball (thought I remember text on the side). Either way, it was playable if you didn't know any better lol .. sitting waiting for the updates to slowly watch the ball go up the launcher and around.. hoping the joystick or keyboard will register your keystroke in time to animate the movement of the paddle to stop the ball.
Just wondering what OS your currently using. If your running DOS 6 (or better) you might try loading SMARTDRV into you AUTOEXEC and see if you game improves. There are other non-MS cachng utilities out there that may run on your 286. It's been while since I fired up my 286, so I'm a little hazy on the old tricks.
