About Pinball Fantasies

After the success of Pinball Dreams on several systems, a sequel featuring four new tables was created. The gameplay is much the same as the first game, with realistic physics, multi-player options and a high score table to aim for. The tables are Partyland, Speed Devils, Billion Dollar Gameshow and Stones 'n' Bones, taking in a funfair, racing cars, a tacky game-show, and a graveyard. Each one has a range of ramps, combos, light sequences and targets to shoot, as well as general themes which are less influenced by real tables than those in Pinball Dreams.

Atari Jaguar prices, all games & how to spot a fake

Early-career DICE — yes, the Battlefield studio — and straightforwardly the better pinball game on the platform.

Digital Illusions was acclaimed on the Amiga in 1992 for exactly the reason this still works: the ball physics are right. Four tables, each with real depth and a proper ruleset, converted for Jaguar by Spidersoft. If you want one pinball cart on the platform, it's this, not Ruiner Pinball — the homegrown title loses on the only axis pinball has.

How it was made

Credited: programmed by Andreas Axelsson, Ulf Mandorff; art by Markus Nyström; music by Olof Gustafsson.

How the Atari Jaguar version differs

Spidersoft's Jaguar conversion arrived in June 1995 with extra colours over the earlier versions, co-published by 21st Century Entertainment and Computer West, and distributed in Japan by Messe Sansao.

For comparison, the Super NES port carries all four tables and the Amiga music but a limited palette, and Next Generation faulted it for showing less than half a table at a time.

Amiga CD32. Released September 1993, built on the improved Advanced Graphics Architecture version made for the Amiga 1200 and 4000 rather than the baseline Amiga original.
Super NES. Converted by Spidersoft and published by GameTek in February 1995. It carries all four tables and the Amiga's music intact, but suffers badly from a restricted colour palette.
Game Boy. Released alongside the Super NES version in February 1995, also by Spidersoft for GameTek.
PlayStation. Pinball Fantasies Deluxe, a Spidersoft compilation published only in Japan by VAP on 25 October 1996, bundles in the Pinball Mania tables — locked until you earn them.
Game Boy Advance. Appeared in Europe only, retitled Pinball Challenge Deluxe, with extra tables carried over from Pinball Dreams.
Windows. Rebellion Developments digitally re-released the DOS version on Good Old Games on 22 February 2011 with Windows support.

Buying a Jaguar cartridge

Cartridges are the durable half of this library — the risk is provenance, not decay. The platform has an active post-commercial scene, so the question is usually which era a cartridge is from rather than whether it still works.

Ask for a photo of the label edge and the cartridge back. Reproductions are usually printed on adhesive photo stock and sit proud of the label recess.
Donor shells are the common trick: sanding marks on the back, or adhesive ghosting where an older label was lifted, are the strongest signals.
Cartridges are region-free on this platform, so a cheaper PAL copy plays on a North American console — a price difference is not evidence of a fake.
