[edit] review scores

The 'respectable' review score needs a citation, also I would question if it is NPOV. 7/10 is a pretty poor score by most video-game review standards.

[edit] El Dorado

If you have a look at the real Gottlieb pinball machine called El Dorado, you'll notice that it's completely different from the one featured in the video game. --217.232.205.11 (talk) 17:44, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

There were different versions of El Dorado. You can see the version used in the game here [1] - Indecision (talk) 22:54, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's the one. Thanks!--217.232.216.162 (talk) 20:48, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Based on 'Pinball Hall of Fame' (obviously)

Those who know both games can see that Gottlieb Pinball Classics is obviously an extended version of Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection. The latter appears to have been planned as a start of a series of collections from various manufacturers. Possibly the developers went out of money. If someone has more information on this, please write it up here! I think this is a lot more than just a video game. I like think of it as a start to preserve those vintage pinball machines to future generations, for times when spare parts for the real machines will have become so expensive that nobody can afford them. --217.232.205.11 (talk) 17:55, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

FYI, Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection was just released by the same developers. - Indecision (talk) 22:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

That's great news. Thank you! I can't wait to buy it. Btw. what's the evidence for the PS2 version of Gottlieb Pinball Classics not being developped by Farsight Studios? I watched the credits on both the PS2 and PSP versions and couln't spot a difference. --217.232.216.162 (talk) 20:43, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why has PSP been removed from platforms?

I have the PSP version so I know it exists...--217.232.225.201 (talk) 22:19, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
