'''Psycho Pinball''' is a [[DigitalPinballTables pinball video game]] developed by Atoll Soft and published by Codemasters. It was released in 1994 in Europe and Australia for the Sega MegaDrive and {{IBM Personal Computer}}s.
The "Psycho" in the title is Psycho the Armadillo, the mascot of this collection of four DigitalPinballTables:
* "Wild West"
* "The Abyss"
* "Trick or Treat"
* "Psycho"
The playfields are presented with an overhead view, scrolling vertically to follow the ball, with a display superimposed over the action. Each table also offered multiball and various VideoMode minigames for skilled players, along with several difficulty levels.
While the first three playfields could be played on their own, "Psycho" was only available in the Multi-Table Game; in that mode, the ball starts on the "Psycho" table, but by activating certain jumpers and then launching it into a circus tent, would be transported to the other tables, and returned after draining.

!!''Psycho Pinball'' demonstrates the following tropes:
* {{Cap}}: The score display rolls over after 999,999,999 points, requiring players to track the number of billions manually.
* NumericalHard: Harder difficulty modes started you with fewer free markers and letters, requiring more shots to activate features. On "Psycho", for instance, the easier modes spotted you one or two of the lights needed to activate each table's warp tent.
* TraintopBattle: Done in "Runaway Train", the "Wild West" VideoMode in the MegaDrive version.
