Trivia / Pinball Dreams

• Christmas Rushed: The original Amiga version of Pinball Fantasies was rushed to be released before the 1992 Christmas shopping season, as evident by numerous bugs in the game. They were fixed in the PC version and subsequent ports.
• Dummied Out: Pinball Challenge Deluxe is programmed to save the player's progress, but was shipped without the EEPROM chips that would actually retain that save, meaning it never does so — on the original hardware, that is. It saves just fine in emulators and on flash carts, and Stewart Gilray actually recommends playing it this way for the sake of saving.
• Technology Marches On: One of the prizes in "Billion Dollar Gameshow" is a 72-inch televisor with no commercials. Today there're TVs with larger screens and ways to get rid of commercials (some, at least) in them.
