Pinball Illusions
Pinball Illusions is an Amiga and MS-DOS pinball video game developed by Digital Illusions CE (DICE) in 1995 as a sequel of "Pinball Fantasies" and "Pinball Dreams". The original Amiga release featured three tables. The PC CD version added a fourth, "The Vikings" (this was written for the Amiga version but not considered good enough for inclusion). This was the first version of the series to feature more than 1 ball in play at a time (known as 'multiball'), and the first to be released for AGA based Amigas. The game also marks its nationality as a  Swedish product in "The Vikings" table (at the top left corner). The game was ranked the 23rd best game of all time by "Amiga Power" in 1996. "Maximum" scored the PC version three out of five stars. They said the four tables are "all excellent in their own way" but that the game lacks the imagination and innovation of other pinball video games. They concluded it to be "solid, if uninspiring, entertainment." Digital Illusions used the four tables from this game to produce "True Pinball" on the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation, which presented the tables in a more realistic  perspective. Pinball World.
