;Visual Pinball:
A freeware and source-available video game engine and simulator for pinball tables and similar games such as pachinko machines. The software is composed of an editor and the simulator part itself. The program is also able to operate with ''Visual PinMAME'', an emulator for ROM images from real pinball machines.
;Future Pinball:
A freeware and closed-source 3D pinball editing and gaming application for Windows. The software is similar to Visual Pinball but usage of original pinball ROM code is not allowed, so there is no support for ''Visual PinMAME''. The project discontinued and the last version of Future Pinball was released in 2010.

;Visual PinMAME:
An emulator for the electronics of pinball systems. The simulation of most modern pinball machines (especially those made after 1992, using large portions of DMD animations and digital sound samples) require the Visual PinMAME (sometimes referred to as VPinMAME or VPM) program in order to behave as close to the physical machine as possible. Visual PinMAME is a fork from old MAME code and can be loaded as a DLL in Visual Pinball.
