Pinball Dreams "2" - Page 2

tomcat666 · 01 October 2009, 09:53

I really wish I could get a Pinball Dreams CDTV or CD32 version that could be played with the pad

But so far couldn't find it...

Ignition is the emptiest table of Dreams&Fantasies but I enjoy it much more than "Billion $ Gameshow".

Ignition has great atmosphere. I think its good bgm and awesome sound FX play a big role in its appeal.

tomcat666 · 01 October 2009, 10:19

Ignition is also my favorite Dreams table... series overall favorite it had to be Party Land though...

john4p · 01 October 2009, 10:25

Well, my favorites are Nightmare & Steel Wheel, but I also enjoy BeatBox and Ignition.

I agree Party Land is the best table out of Dreams & Fantasies but I still prefer Dreams over Fantasies.

The Ignition table actually rocks because it's much harder than the others. First I didn't like it much but it grew on me.

In Pinball 2000 it's under different name: Rocket - http://hotud.org/images/stories/game...inball2000.jpg

Harder to get points? Yep, because it's 'empty'

Really played both Dreams & Fantasies for ages, but I still don't like Ignition

DH · 01 October 2009, 12:22

I prefer 'Nightmare' because it so flipping annoying

I'm not sure if I'm thinking of another pinball game here but I vaguely remember a board that had some sort of gravity field somewhere in the middle of it, which made the ball swerve in an arc around it, I think.

Yep, exactly.

And that is why I like it, it's very appealing after you played all the other, much easier, tables to death. =)

Try PC MS-DOS pinball "8 Ball Deluxe" if you want really hard game.

There is one rule: Pinball games are only good on Amiga (or in real life ofc). On all other systems they suck. </zealot_mode> :P

I like Pinball Dreams the most out of the series too.

You know what they say: the original and the best.

What a well put together game it is - graphics, sound effects, music - all spot on. Addictive stuff - it's provded me a welcome break from coding things many a time.

It was not really a comparison. It was supposed to read "Don't wildly 'mention them in same breath', lumping together ALL 21st century pinball games regardless of the target platform".
Without a doubt they did not care about quality on the PC platform. Personally, I think that the reason was money (as usual). Luminaries as the Digital Illusions guys (aka TSL) cost a fortune to hire. So from the looks of it, they tried to solve the problem of budget shortages by hiring a less pricey crew.

Er... Have You ever seen Slam Tilt? I'm sure You have. For me, it beats all of Dreams, Illusions and Fantasies...

TCD · 21 October 2009, 17:55

Huh? Who mentioned Slam Tilt in this thread? I only talked about the DI games here. Yeah, and about the PC game that shares the name with one of course.

Nooooooooooo way

I would rather just listen to the music/sfx on Dreams, Illusions and Fantasies without playing or even seeing anything rather than play any other pinball game

.

JethroUK · 21 October 2009, 19:03

Actually just had quick peek at Mean Machines table and the sound effects have been ripped from Pinball Dreams

i'd go so far as to say that some have even been sampled then tweaked

DH · 21 October 2009, 19:43

Slam Tilt is faulty. The ball seems to have a mind of it's own at times and sometimes accelerates for no apparent reason, making it soooooo unreal.

Dreams/Illusions/Fantasies FTW!

StingRay · 21 October 2009, 19:48

Slam Tilt actually rocks! Best pinball game on Amiga in my opinion. Lots of mini-games that make it fun to play. I don't know why anyone would complain about the ball physics, I never found it unrealistic and I played it to death.

Graham Humphrey · 21 October 2009, 20:05

Play Slam Tilt in this thread

Anyway, this thread has got a bit off-topic now I think...
