Pinball Fantasies is a classic pinball machine - simulations and successor to Pinball Dreams - originally developed for Amiga by Digital Illusions CE in 1992 . It was distributed by 21st Century Entertainment for Amiga, CD³² , PC , Jaguar and SNES .

In contrast to many of its predecessors, the game was characterized by the fact that the playing area was larger than a screen, the visible image area was shifted up and down - according to the game balls - so that a very high level of detail is achieved.

Like Pinball Dreams, this game featured four different tables:

  • Party Land is reminiscent of an amusement park
  • Speed ​​Devils focuses on motorsport
  • Billion Dollar Gameshow is a game show- style table
  • Stones' N Bones is based on a haunted house

Pinball Fantasies was technically more advanced than Pinball Dreams and offered two different resolutions , three pinball machines for the first three tables and finer animation . The special feature of the fourth table was that a second ball could be played at the same time if the first ball was trapped in a pit. As in the previous version , the music and sound were composed by Olof Gustafsson in a tracker module format .
