Thought I would start with Take a Break! Pinball, the company's first Pinball game. In the early 1990s, as PC gaming continued to evolve, Sierra On-Line and its subsidiary Dynamix ventured into the casual gaming market with the Take a Break! series. Two games designed as bite-sized experiences for Windows users looking for quick, engaging diversions. The first was a crossword puzzle, released in 1992, and the second, a pinball game released in 1993. Unlike traditional pinball simulations, this offered themed tables based on some of Sierra and Dynamix’s most beloved franchises. The game featured 8 different tables, including the world of King's Quest V, Space Quest IV, Leisure Suit Larry 5, Nova 9, and The Adventures of Willy Beamish. Upon release, Take a Break! Pinball received mixed reviews. Computer Gaming World appreciated its adventure game-like objectives but heavily criticized its high system requirements. The game ran sluggishly on lower-end machines, with the magazine noting that performance was "so bad as to be unplayable on a 386, and irritating on a 486." Interactive Entertainment CD-ROM Magazine took issue with some of the board designs, stating that their overly colorful graphics made it "nearly impossible to keep your eye on the ball." The publication further commented that "taken as a serious pinball simulation, it falls short in more than one area." I had a few issues with the MIDI music.
