Pinball Dreams vs Fantasies - which has the better "evil" tables?

Hi everyone and welcome to the September 2017 edition of the Which Is Best?
Last month I placed two iconic classic arcade games against each other asking which in your minds had the biggest impact on video gaming, they were Space Invaders and Pac-Man, I can now reaveal Space Invaders defeated Pac-Man by with 20 votes to 13.

This month I'm going to place two Amiga A500 pinball classic tables side by side,...Nightmare from Pinball Dreams against Stones 'N Bones from Pinball Fantasies (Slam Tilt's Demon table will not feature as it's AGA and would hold unfair advantage), which do you think is the better table when it comes to music, effects, playability, smoothness and enjoyment and of course creepyness?!, only your votes will determine that,...happy voting! :-D
My vote: Nightmare

P.s, I added a couple more balls on Dreams and I disabled the ball loss on Stones table so I could show more of the games including the Grim Reaper bonus on Fantasies.
My official legit score using 3 balls on Nightmare is 296,667,619.

I'd say Nightmare as well

...I know this isn't the question but my favourite table is definitely "Speed Devils"

Nightmare, without a shadow of a doubt. It has some of the best music of any Amiga game.

Immediate knee-jerk reaction would be Nightmare. Insanely good music and style. Best ever.

But to play over time? Stones'n'Bones, easily. The table progression is incredible. My favorite over all other computer pinballs ever.

Nightmare <because the music was just mega! Not only this but this was where it all began, Pinball Dreams!

Didn't they do an AGA version of Fantasies? CD32. TBH I couldn't tell the difference on the AGA versions anyways, until Slam Tilt with hi res multi ball feature.<MEGA !!

Yes, they did. I think it was also an AGA pack-in game (along with Trolls) for a lot of A1200s.
