Decided to open my Amiga emulator and play one of my favorites from my teenage years. If you’ve never played this game, you’ll be surprised when you do. 4 tables. It feels surprisingly realistic. The ball moves like on a real pinball table. The music is very late 80s early 90s, of course!
Ignition is my all time favourite table!
The earliest pinball game I've played is the Space Cadet one that was included with Windows.
That was my favorite Windows game that came with the OS. I wonder why they removed it? Is it because they wanted to sell it as Full Tilt?
It was fundamentally broken in 64-bit Windows for a long time due to a practically unfindable bug, so they just removed it.
I think it’s been fixed or recreated now though?
Dreams, Illusions and Fantasies, Three awesome pinball games. I was very jealous of my Amiga friend because of these games. I think I got one of them on my PC because I remember playing a Haunted House table when I was supposed to leave and meet friends. I was an hour late because I was having such a good run, I didn’t want to quit the table mid game!
Amazing game indeed, the music, the vibe, …
Never had an Amiga, went from C64 to a 486 something. Could you post a screenshot of one of the tables if its not much trouble?
I’ve come back here because other people replied. I’m sorry I didn’t answer you with a screenshot. You can find screenshots of the game, though, really easy, just do an image search on your favorite search engine. Trust me, this game has been written about online since dial up internet days, which is what you needed to connect an Amiga to the internet back then. Fun fact: the first porno animated gifs downloaded from the internet were probably created and downloaded to Amigas! So, you can easily find these screenshots yourself. If I get around to playing the game again, I’ll try to remember to screenshot something if somehow you can’t find what you’re looking for. Not sure what you’re looking for.
What do you use as emulator?

Epic pinball for MS-DOS, Specifically the Android table will forever be a core memory of mine. Any decent pinball games nowadays?

I’ve been playing Demon’s Tilt for a while now. It’s a lot like Devil’s Crush, with bonus tables. It definitely isn’t a pinball game for purists. I’m not a purist, I like a lot of different pinball games, so I have fun with it. On older versions of iOS and Android there was PinOut, which I can still play on my iPad. Not sure how long that will last. A lot of the new pinball games you can get on Steam, etc. are not to my liking because they require in-game purchases (you have to buy the game, then buy each table individually).
