"The Amiga classic gets a stylish port, with excellent controls and a slick presentation. There are a handful of sparkly competitors lurking in the corners of the App Store, but it's the delivery, as well as the nostalgia factor, that lofts this to the very top of the pinball leaderboard." - The 50 best iPhone/iPod Touch games, Edge 206 (October 2009)

"Pinball Dreams is an essential purchase for any pinball fan with an iPhone or iPod Touch — not just those who remember it from the first time." 4.5/5 - www.fingergaming.com

"I’m going to go ahead and give this one the red hot App Store badge, ‘cos this couldn’t be any more smokin’ if it were a green-faced Jim Carey." 5/5 - www.frapstr.com

"Pinball Dreams is so far the best pinball on the iPhone." 4/5 - www.taptoplay.de

Working on the latest 14.0 iOS !! Though I’ve built my own virtual pinball table with over 180 tables, this is my favorite old time favorite! I remember keeping the music on my 1084s monitor! Wish I could play these on steam.

How did I not know about this? One of the best pinball games ever!

I spent many many hours playing the original game on the Amiga 500. I never knew such a faithful reproduction was available for iOS! Other than a couple table bugs I’ve run into, this is amazing. I’m playing with the classic graphics, but the updated ones are great too. The only thing I could want is a native iPad version.

I have had this for about an hour and can safely say that this needs a LOT of improvement. Every little while (Usually every 30 or so seconds) the ball starts to lag and warp to where it's going. The flippers lag on occasion, not as often as ball lag, causing me to lose a ball as often as when the stupid thing lags. I really do like this but it BS's me a lot. Just please fix the lag and the flipper response time, this game frustrates me more than any of my other apps right now. I'm sure that I'll write another review once that gets covered. (Better hopefully)

eeeh!

Nice graphics and choice of table. I don't like the table shifting up and down. Wild west has a definate advantage here. This game is too hard. Need an easy option please with bigger flippers. It would be more fun if I could keep the ball going for a while. Will add an extra star for bigger flippers please.

faithful to Amiga version

i'm in the group of reviewers who spent many hours on this game as a kid, and would buy Pinball Fantasies (and any other Amiga game for that matter -- Speedball or Paradroid or F-18 or Stunt Car Racer etc). that said, they've done a fantastic job porting this to the iPhone and it's the best pinball i've seen on the platform. great game!

One of the staple games from the Amiga

Outstanding port true to the original. There's even an option for classic graphics (ECS chipset anyone?). I really hope that another Amiga game from The Silents, Benefactor, is in the works!

Excellent visual reproduction, but lots of lag
Boss Lewis

This is a good emulation of the original Amiga game. Visually and sound wise, it is as good as the original. However the slow, jerking ball movement which sometimes kicks in is a major problem and can cause you to lose your ball sometimes. Turning on airplane mode helps but does not completely fix this problem. Also, under some rare circumstances, the score will not update correctly when bonuses are won.

A job well done.

A very spot on conversion of one of my most beloved pinball games of yesteryear. I also like being able to play the game while holding my Touch sideways, so that my fingers don't obscure the playing field. Great job, guys. I'm definitely hoping to see even more great pinball classics revived in such fashion.
