What playing Pinball Fantasies is like

Video pinball recreates the flippers, ramps and bumpers of the real thing, often with tables that would be impossible in the physical world.

Tip for newcomers: Learn to trap the ball on a raised flipper to set up your shots, and look for the table's multiball triggers.
