"Pinball Dreams" (1992), "Pinball Fantasies" (1992), and "Pinball Illusions" (1995) are perhaps the best computer pinball — or "flippers" in some countries — games of the 90s.

They don't have the flashiest tables, but the gameplay is smooth and the music is excellent.

Pinball Fantasies is my favourite of the three, specifically the MS-DOS version, because of its higher resolution (larger playing field).

The "Billion Dollar Gameshow" table, from the Amiga CD32 (AGA) version of Pinball Fantasies.
The "Speed Devils" table, from the MS-DOS version of Pinball Fantasies.
The "Babewatch" table, from the Amiga version of Pinball Illusions.

Speaking of music in pinball... Here's three examples of pinball in music, from three different countries. Pinball of the physical kind, today something of a rare sight, but a part of popular culture for decades.

• The Who: Pinball Wizard (1969)

• Táxi: Ás dos Flippers (1981)

• Corynne Charby: Boule de Flipper (1986)

I'm sure there are other examples of arcade games in mainstream music?
