Crystal Caliburn is a 1993 pinball simulation by the Japanese studio LittleWing, published by Starplay Productions. In the nineties LittleWing ranked among the most respected creators of virtual pinball — its tables were known for physics that came closer to a real ball than anything else on the market.

This table draws on Arthurian legend, as the name referencing Excalibur suggests. Ramps, targets and bonus missions follow the motifs of the knights of the round table and the quest for the grail — the theme runs through the table's rules, not just the artwork behind them, which was the hallmark of the care LittleWing invested in its designs.

Virtual pinball was a discipline of its own on early-nineties computers. A simulation did not have to economize on space or hardware costs, so it could offer a table more elaborate than anything that would fit in an arcade. Veterans often place Crystal Caliburn among the finest digital tables of its era.

The game is played by a single player at the keyboard, though pinball scores have always been contested at least by correspondence. The catalogue records the PC version of this title.

A digital table has one more advantage over a real one: it never wears out. Springs do not weaken, rubbers do not harden, and the table plays exactly as it did on release day — which makes quality simulations arguably the most durable pinball machines of all. LittleWing tuned its tables for years, and Crystal Caliburn is often cited as proof that Japanese meticulousness suits an entertainment as American as pinball.
