Flashback Pinball Dreams was first released in 1992. The other games followed in the next five years but none of them are exactly hot off the press. When you consider this it s a miracle that I m not slating the graphics for being totally unviewable. It s a testament to the artists that the tables still look reasonable. Of course, let s not carried away, the graphics are only in 256 colours and do have a bit of a cheesy look about them at times.
Some tables can look very dated.
Furthermore, you do get the feeling that if the crack coders behind the games where writing them today they d be in 16 million colours and 1200x1200 screen modes. The best thing about the graphics is that they re smoother than silk. They always did run rather well thanks to the top coders behind them but nobody with a new PC will have to endure any slow down. One rather bizarre point arises with the two earliest games. They both whacked my PC into some surreal screen mode which required a bit of readjusting with the monitor controls.
