Early reader reactions are positive for the game. Cowboy Rodeo previously brought us Pinball Dreams to the iPhone. Pinball Fantasies features four tables, each with one or more high scoring rounds that are started by achieving certain targets. Each table is vertically taller and generally more complex than those in Pinball Dreams."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1248091345.usr18053.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>Pinball Dreams was the gold standard in pinball games for a really long time.&nbsp; I had it for the Amiga AND for DOS and played it quite frequently.&nbsp; The tables aren't the most demanding you've ever seen in a pinball game for your home computer, but they are seriously realistic in both look and the physics of the ball, which is the big attraction to the game.&nbsp; Well, that and the gigantic bonuses to be had if you play the ball just right.</p><p>I'm probably going to check this one out later tonight.&nbsp; I really did love this game as a kid.</p>
