I think the idea that Pinball Dreams is better than Pinball Fantasies cannot be supported if you look at general critical reception and reviews. Also, I would characterize the PC conversion as excellent without reservation, having features the Amiga version didn't such as a high-resolution mode. Having played both the Amiga and PC versions, I notice nothing missing or lacking with the PC version. There is an abominable unfaithful SNES conversion that isn't mentioned here, though. -mjw
I agree with mjw. Pinball Fantasies is superior, which seems to be the general opinion as it has been mine (and my gaming friends') since it came out. Also, i think 'Stones 'n Bones' is the best table, followed by 'Partyland'. That also came back in a lot of reviews i read and in what i know from people that played the game. Last but not least: the music (by Olof Gustafsson) to this game is just awesome. It suits the table themes incredibly well. It is one of my favourites in this respect together with the music to Turbo Outrun (C64), Dune II (PC), and Road Rash (Sega Megadrive). --Vunzmstr 21:14, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- I personally prefer Pinball Dreams of the three. Opinion, though, should be avoided (POV). We need to think carefully how to tackle this. Rvalles 00:53, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
"In my early childhood, at just the age of four, Pinball Fantasies for MS-DOS was my favourite game by far, especially the Stones 'n Bones table. The music is really good, but best of all is the opening music, which IMO is some of the best music EVER. Truly a masterpiece, even if the ball can sometimes be lost even through just very bad luck, such as the ball coming out of Offroad into the exit lane in Speed Devils, or an unlucky bounce out from the vault in Stones 'n Bones. Unfortunately, the game is now difficult to play because of the end of MS-DOS, but it might be coming out for the Xbox 360 in the Xbox Live Arcade in future, so that's okay. A true highlight of my childhood." Matthew Daniels, aka gm_matthew
[edit] "Fake" Multiball
Ok, if you hit that special trap the ball would be retained, and you could start again with a new one... but that is about the only similarity to "real" Multiball. In this sense you could also call it "Fake Multiball" if you loose one ball normally, then you can also start again from the beginning. I wouldn't call this Multiball at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.65.120.1 (talk) 08:34, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Link to Cabin Fever pinball
Why is there a link to a real pinball machine called Cabin Fever at the end of this article? I cannot find any connection to Pinball Fantasies at that page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.128.186.4 (talk) 02:04, 11 May 2007 (UTC).
