Just my opinion:

I have both Pinball Dreams, and Freeballin', and the two form a perfect union of wizardry on my device. PD offers those quick, classic pinball matches with unlimited replayability. The only thing I'd like to see added is online leaderboards for each of the 4 tables.
FB offers a deeper "adventuring" pinball game. Lots of play modes to suit your liking. Many in game objectives and "hidden" tables. Also, IUGO have nicely implemented online leaderboards.

Question: nostalgia aside, which is the best pinball app on the iphone? There's Pinball Dreams, Zen Pinball: Rollercoaster, Freeballin', iPhysics Lite, Zen Pinball: Inferno, Wild West Pinball, iTilt Pinball, Pinball, Neon Ball….

Which are worth getting for a pinball fan? (I have two at home, love Pro Pinball: Timeshock, etc, etc)

@Vesuri Ah, thanks! How could I not realise. All the music is there. Awesome. This is among in my top 5 iPhone apps for sure. (and I have 350 of 'em) I still wish there were options for the tilt ..I use it a lot on the Amiga. Was great for trying to control what gate the ball went down. I'm now thinking a touch zone at the middle-bottom of the screen would be perfect. It has to be a touch control to be as useful as it was in the original.

And my one incredibly minor nit-pick.. The multi-coloured Graveyard text looks out of place. I do prefer the classic red-lit lights. ..but I like the enhanced table. I'm torn.

Can't wait for the Fantasies app. ..Hmmmm, then they should release an app that's Dream and Fantasies in one. I'd buy that too. So many ways to make money on this one. hehe.

@TKO: Actually the port does contain both music tracks. However, since the intro itself is not shown (mainly to make it faster to get into the beef) the "intro track" starts playing from the "scroller" part when you launch the game, but it indeed is the original "intro track" – just not the very first three patterns. When you return to the menu from a table you'll hear the "menu track".

The tilt control could use some fine tuning – it's there and can be used, but causes the table to tilt too easily.
