This game makes me feel like a kid again! I have years of experience on the pc from the 90s and this app hits it on the nose! All the people who are knocking on the graphics don't realize it's a perfect port of the original. Would you complain about the graphics on a comodore emulator? The only lacking point is the missing 5 ball feature. Listen to your fans cowboy! 5 balls would put me in heaven!
The classic from the Amiga returns!!

Pinball Fantasies was one of the best (if not THE best) pinball games on the Amiga, and even now it holds up fairly well. The only downside is the price, but you do get four levels, which helps balance things out. Good choice for pinball lovers!!
Awesome on the iPad!

I have been playing this on one platform or another since it came out. My life is incomplete with out PARTYLAND! Just loaded it on the new iPad and it is wonderful. Easy control, bright fun graphics... the minor pixelation actually makes it look DOS-like and doesn't compromise the looks at all, same great annoy-the-family music. I had to have this because of my history with the game, but I can understand that others might find it a bit pricey on the scale of the iPhone apps, but compared to iPad apps it is quite competitive. Don't think you can miss with this title.... four tables after all.
Retro ridiculous great 18 years later

*edit* Where the heck is the 5-ball option?!? Common, guys! Update it, please! Four stars because of that and the lack of other cheats from original. My friend and I were reminiscing about being 12 years old and wasting hour upon hour taking turns playing this game in DOS. We both flipped out when we heard someone made an app for it. It is exactly how I remember it: wicked fun! The controls aren't as easy to use as it was on a keyboard, but I think I'll get used to it eventually. Tapping a flat screen is not like a pinball machine afterall. Since the files my friend found in his archives no longer seemed to work in Windows 7, this is a sweet gift from the nerd app building community. $6.99 is a bit pricey for such an ancient game, but for my nostalgia, it was worth it. Still holds up over all these years too.
Classic joy...

I absolutely love this game, even more now that Stones 'n' Bones doesn't have that drain glitch anymore.

I bought this because I played it endlessly on the PC a very long time ago. Although there are better graphics in newer pinball games, nothing can beat Pinball Fantasies for sheer authenticity, gameplay, and downright fun! The graphics are super colorful and match the table appropriate music. This is just as fun as I remember and I can already tell that these tables will have much more replay value for me than the other iPad titles that I own. This is especially true for Party Land, which is a masterpiece. Take the time to learn the skillshots that light up various parts of the table. This game is more than a bit of nostalgia ... it's a very well designed game overall and stands the test of time. I've seen that Pinball Dreams is also available. Here's to hoping that the other titles from 21st Century (the original developer) also become available for the iPad someday (Pinball Illusions, Pinball Mania, and others)!
Still the greatest.

This Amiga/PC classic remains the best pinball game I have ever played to this day. Every table is fantastic, but Stones & Bones is my favorite of the four.
Just as great as I remembered!

This is an incredible port from the Amiga game that I was addicted to in the early 90s. Pinball Fantasies holds up well and is still mind blowing even after close to 20 years of its initial release. If you are even the slightest pinball fan do yourself a favor and pick this title up! You will not be disappointed!
