When I was a kid, we had Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies for the Amiga. Sadly our copy of dreams stopped working before I was old enough to play, or even rationalize what a computer game was. But I played countless hours on Fantasies. Is it weird to say that I remember it for it's great music and atmosphere more than the Pinball itself? Party Land and Billion Dollar Gameshow in particular. This was not only my first Pinball game, but first exposure to Pinball completely. Where I live arcade units are rather rare. But thankfully this was not a game made to drain my weekly allowance, but simply enjoy and go with the flow of the visuals, ambiance and of course, Pinball. Playing this after all these years, I can say it is exactly as I remember it. It feels as if my PC is an old Amiga again. Though I can also say, that I remember the game ran slightly slower back then, or else I am currently very rusty. Regardless, while sadly I am not able to speak for Dreams or Illusions with as much enthusiasm or nostalgia as I did for fantasies. I will say that 10 dollars is an excellent deal, for a bunch of cozy Pinball classics.
