Post by: NinjaKat on November 01, 2020, 09:39:34 am

OCS/ECS Game of the Month for November, 2020, is Pinball Dreams!

Pinbal Dreams has four tables (note that we are only playing the Ignition table this month):

• "Ignition", themed around a rocket launch, planets, and space exploration. The Expert Software's Pinball 2000 port of the game renamed this table "Rocket".
• "Steel Wheel", themed around steam trains and the Old West.
• "Beat Box", themed around the music industry, charts, bands and tours.
• "Nightmare", themed around a graveyard, ghosts, demons, nightmares and generally evil things. Unlike the other tables in the game, the name of the table in the menu did not reflect the name displayed on the table itself - "Graveyard".

• Amiga Hardware: OCS, ECS
  
• Release Year: 1992
• Disks: 2
• WHDLoad: Yes
• Players: 8
• Publisher: 21st Century
• Developer: Digital Illusions

Got a slightly better score now: 3652689.

Intangybles and I got together for a tech session - I was repairing and upgrading an original Xbox, and Mark was testing his pi400.
We had a small opportunity to play Pinball Dreams.  Mark's best was 1069489, on the aforementioned pi400.
