Pinball Fantasies

The Good
The physics model is incredible - this game feels so much like the real thing - only its better - since you don't have to pay to play it... The graphics are well drawn, and realistic when compared to what was feasible at the time. The digital music is well composed and adds much to the game's atmosphere. But this is not important. What is important is the gameplay. And tha gameplay rocks. This is the best PC pinball game I have EVER seen, far better than any game before it and better than modern games too. The tables are well designed, and hold many interesting suprises. There are only four tables - but they made each one count. The physics model is very good - and the ball responds as expected. The game routines are very fast - the game runs at high resoltions with no speed losses on a 486 without problems.

The Bad
Only four tables... The graphics is too flashy, too colorfull for my taste. A more metallic look would have been more fitting for a pinball game.

The Bottom Line
A great pinball game, that gives you the feeling that you are playing on a real machine.
