Posted January 22, 2018
I found the Pinball Dreams Manual Online and thought I'd post it here as the manual is nowhere to be found when you buy the Pinball Gold Pack (of which Pinball Dreams includes) so see below for more info on how to play. Although note this only covers the original four maps but still it's better than nothing.
