#172 PINBALL FANTASIES - FULL PLAYTHROUGH (Get On Scoreboard for Each Table) - Beating My SNES Games
0Here is of my full playthrough of Pinball Fantasies done, as always using original hardware on a Super Nintendo with no cheats or save states!
Follow me on instagram @Cabin_game_fever to join me live or via my reviews and uploads to witness me take down all the games currently in my SNES colleciton, following on from having already beaten all 234 licenced UK releases for the NES. I only use original carts, no cheats & no save states.
REVIEW: (Originally posted on Instagram):
-For the very few that remember my first encounter with Psynosis's first pinball outing; Pinball Dream's (game #55), I highly doubt you remembered my goal for 'beating' it meant achieving the top scores on each table. Once again that was the intention, however after grinding this game for literally months, I yield, I surrender, I just cannot do it! While there's little doubt the physics between games remains poor compared to the Amiga home versions, what's clearly different is the unfair factor!
Fantasies, as with Dream's, offers 4 tables. The most notable difference (and certainly what wowed us as kids) was the inclusion of a 3rd, upper flipper, with Stone & Bones (ironically my favourite) the only table using just 2. This addition adds some character to gameplay but ultimately is more gimmick than genious.
Of those 3 tables, Billion Dollar Gameshow utilises the extra flipper the best. At first glance the overall playfield appears incredibly fun with its glorious network of interconnecting ramps. Yet somehow it just fails to live up to the hype.
Partyland maybe the most iconic & well remembered of the tables, but it's an incredibly unforgiving one too. I certainly appreciate the variety it offers but I must have registered over 500 attempts, to only muster a depressing 2nd place!
All the combined pain of every tables suffering, is not a drop in the ocean compared to how bitterly unfair the Speed Devils is! This table single handedly ruins the whole damn series. Its dull, the targets are usually snared with gutter ball ricochetes and the ramps are almost impossible to ride. So much suffering just to register a measly 10mil for 5th place. The idea of scoring 100m... Jesus!
By far the best table, despite the lack of a 3rd flipper, has to be Stones & Bones. Full of variety, easy to make shots that offer interesting rewards and some cracking music to cap it off. Tho only achieving a 5th place score, I've no doubt I could top it with a little time.
Its a shame to move my challenge's goalposts, but sometimes you have to admit defeat. I'm sick to death of this game so this is where we part ways!
