Pinball Dreams opened people's eyes, so Digital Illusions went back to the well and found a synonym for Dreams in this sequel.

Following on from Pinball Dreams, Pinball Fantasies has another four tables to play, while keeping the same features that drew people to the first game: accurate physics, a nice LCD display, interesting and realistic table designs, and good music. Amiga Power suggested in their lists that only two of the four tables were very good, but the fact that they rated the game so highly shows the quality of what is here.

I feel like you could just put the four pinball games in this Top 300 together and treat them as one thing, because there's not a lot to say between them. I never played much of them other than Pinball Dreams, but I see no reason not to have a go at this too.
