So you have to take a look which tables you like more. Pinball Fantasies is a bit mor colorful and the tables are higher, but more interesting is the tables layout. I only play Ignition on Pinball Dreams and Party Land on Pinball Fantasies, so for me the answer is easy: I have to get both games. And for this price, I don’t have to think much. It’s too cheap! If you are unsure which game you like, Google a bit and download the DOS versions of the games and try it for yourself. Well, you get four tables in Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies.

Really cannot wait to play this again. A BIG thumbs up to Cowboy Rodeo for porting this. Pinball Fantasies was my favourite – I had it on the PC and played it to death….especially Stones and Bones.

I knew it had to come, but awesome all the same. ..my only question is whether they will have both the AGA (256 colour) and ECS (32 colour) graphics as classic options? And options for the ECS or CD-Edition title-music? Do those and I'll buy any pinball game you guys care to throw at me for the rest of my life. My appreciation will be that high. :) I mean, the AGA graphics were good and all, but it seemed a bit like they were using some of the extra colours just because they were there. The more uniform colour of the high-parts of the tables on the ECS version IMHO looked better. To marc: You have to get them all. I mean, heck, they're crazy-cheap. All three of the Digitall Illusions pinball games (Dreams, Fantasies, Illusions) were brilliant in their own way. I don't even know how to compare them. There are tables in each set you're almost bound to fall in love with if you love pinball. IMHO each of these is 10 times better than the Zen pinball tables. Pinball Illusions had three tables (Law 'n Justice, Babe Watch, and XTreme Sports) on the Amiga and PC floppy-disk versions. There was a fourth table, The Vikings, on the PC CD release. It's rumoured it wasn't included originally because it wasn't quite up to quality. I have yet to play it, so I'm not sure if this is true. The other three tables were just totally amazing though and IMHO Illusions is, overall, at least as good as Dreams and Fantasies were. Now I must hold out hope that Cowboy Rodeo can somehow obtain the rights to port Slam Tilt by Liquid Designs. That was the only Amiga pinball game to ever rival these ones. It truly rocked. Awesome.

Yes. And If you enjoy a solid pinball game, I would not recommend that just because Fantasies is on the way (and surely Illusions further down the road) you avoid Dreams. They're all superb. @marc: "having never played these amiga games before… are you guys basically saying… the first game in the series (which is available for purchase now) is great? the next in the series is even better? and that the 3rd game is better still?"
