Just as I remembered it
Great old school pinball. Only drawback is the need to scroll, but there's nothing we can do about it.

Blast from the past
The first PSOne game I ever purchased was "True Pinball", containing "Pinball Illusions" which is here in this collection, and it's as great as I remember it. As a Linux user, I ran into a few bumps throughout the whole set. As it runs off DOSBox, the experience isn't as smooth as I had hoped, being at the mercy of an emulator instead of running natively as I had hoped. Also, the inconsistency in controls can be a little confusing (some games use CTRL to activate flippers while others use SHIFT, et cetera). However, I give it four stars because having to pay only a small sum for twenty different tables is amazing. Some tables are better than others as far as challenges go (my personal favorite is "Vikings" on "Pinball Illusions"), but each one has a fun and colorful personality worth visiting at least a few times. While the games don't look as polished as contemporary pinball games (eg: Zen Pinball), it's still well worth the price of admission.

Timeless Classic meant to played.
Let me take you back to the Golden age of computer games when everything wasn't 3D and hardware accelerated. I present you Pinball Gold Pack, the undisputed King of arcade pinball simulators. These 20 tables take you trough different themes varying from spooky castles to savanna, and futuristic prisons, each with varying difficulty levels. The graphics are still pleasing and clear, but sometimes you may have difficulty with keeping track of the ball as it zooms across the table when the action gets hectic (Believe me, it does sometimes!). The physics are fairly simplified, but still realistic enough to feel good and they improve when you get to later titles but you never get a feeling the ball takes a predefined, hard-coded trajectory like some other games in their era. I remember having Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies for my Amiga 500, and I literally played them to death with my friend, and we never got bored. Later when I got a PC, I came across the later games such as Pinball Dreams 2 and Pinball Mania, which were great fun to play too. This game pack has a great deal of tables, more than enough to keep you and a couple of friends (up to 8 player multiplayer!) entertained for many evenings, and I feel this would make a great party game for any Good Old Gamer out there.

Love the Party table from Fantasies
The Party Table is still my most played one. A few hints, be sure to configure it first, so it play with best graphics. Also, update the DosBox settings so it shows correctly. This is a great pack for anyone who loves Pinball games. Now I wish I had some arcade buttons to put on the side of my computer... ;-)

21st Century Pinball games are back!
The Pinball Fantasies game was hot stuff on the Amiga. I enjoyed the stereo music tracks, high end graphics (at the time) and realistic physics. The rolling table took some getting used to, but after a while, you could anticipate the ball travel. Thank you for bringing this back!
