- Pinball fantasies -  
|
|
There have been many pinball
games throughout the years but none have had as much an impact on me as
pinball fantasies. From the creators of pinball dreams another great pinball
game it is not however a sequel as such but an improvement. The biggest
things about pinball dreams was that the screen could only show a limited
amount of the table because of the resolution. Pinball fantasies uses a
semihigh resolution that allows almost half the table to be displayed at
once so the scrolling is a lot less then pinball dreams.
Once again there are four tables which you can play each with their own
themes. Partyland is about a fair with ballons and rides, speed devils has
a racing theme, billion dollar gameshow 's title pretty much explains it
all and stones and bones is a scary one with ghosts and goblins. Each machine
has the basic pinball gameplay where you hit the ball with two paddles into
objects that can give you points or other bonusses. Also you can get specials
plays when you complete a number of things like hitting every button on
the field or doing a set amount of loops and these usually give rewards
ranging from a million extra points to an extra ball. Each one does however
plays quite differently and you will quickly find the one you like the most.
My favorite is the stones and bones machine as it has a number of different
objectives that you can reach indicated by the ghosts that light up and
each one lets you play a different minigame.
This game can be seriously addictive and once you get hooked it's hard to
let go. My personal record-score with the stones and bones game is over
633 million which you can see in the screenshot hehe :) I'm sure you will
find one machine which you will like and even if you don't usually play
pinball machines this game still is fun. The best part about the game is
that it doesn't require any serious hardware to run and it has some of the
best pc speaker music I ever heard, you can even play a single machine from
only one floppy disk. Check it out and if you dare try to beat my record!
Overal rating: 9/10
