After the success of Pinball Dreams on several systems, a sequel featuring four new tables was created. The gameplay is much the same as the first game, with realistic physics, multi-player options and a high score table to aim for. The tables are Partyland, Speed Devils, Billion Dollar Gameshow and Stones 'n' Bones, taking in a funfair, racing cars, a tacky game-show, and a graveyard. Each one has a range of ramps, combos, light sequences and targets to shoot, as well as general themes which are less influenced by real tables than those in Pinball Dreams.

Trivia

Award Winner: PC Gamer's Best Arcade Game of 1994

"Pinball Fantasies was released first for Amiga late 1992, and was the much acclaimed sequel to Pinball Dreams. It featured a spiced up version of the effects system created for Pinball Dreams, the ability for three flippers on a table and the new up-sized dot-matrix display. There was both a normal Amiga version (32 colors) and a retouched AGA version with 256 colors. (The 256 color version was the one appearing on the PC)"

--excerpt taken from Digital Illusions web site.

"Party Land, Speed Devils, Billion Dollar (aka Billion Dollar Gameshow), and Stones -n- Bones were first released as Pinball Fantasies and later joined by the four tables of Pinball Mania and rereleased as Pinball Fantasies Deluxe. Then, in late 1996, 21st Century repackaged twenty of their tables, including Pinball Fantasies, as Pinball Gold.

Pinball Fantasies was originally released on the Amiga, and according to some reports, it was an incomplete, buggy game because Digital Illusions rushed to get it out in time for Christmas. The PC version is free of just about all these bugs, though there remains one major rules oversight (no multiball)."
