Both Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies are considered games of cult in the pinball simulation world. Pinball Fantasies was more techinically advanced that its predessor, offering many new features that the original didn't. For example, each of the pinball tables were now three screens high (instead of two in Pinball Dreams), tables now included three flippers and more advanced animations.

The Stones 'N Bones table even offered fake multiball - two "traps" could lock the ball in certain situations and the player could launch another ball to play with.

Versions

  • The original, that does have 3 floppy and runs in all Amiga computers with 1mb of RAM.
  • A special version with a fourth floppy which allows it to run in 512kb Amigas.
  • An Amiga CD32 version was released in 1993.
  • An improved AGA version was released later (4 floppies).
  • It was later ported to PC 286 computers running MS-DOS. Compared to the substandard port of the previous game in the series, Pinball Dreams, the Pinball Fantasies port was outstanding in quality. The PC version is notable for offering extremely high quality music and sound (albeit quiet) for the simple PC speaker, previously unheard of without a separate sound card. The port ran well even on a 12 MHz 286 and only required a VGA card. It was fast because it used Mode X and split screen scrolling to avoid having to redraw the screen every frame.
  • GBA under the title Pinball Challenge Deluxe, with tables added from Pinball Dreams
