It's been quite a while since our last pinball release so we'd like to make up for it by giving you 5 titles for the price of one - the uber-nostalgic Pinball Gold Pack.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/pinball_gold_pack][/url]So, how does the Pinball Gold Pack compare to the other pinball releases on GOG.com? First of all, you get five games - Pinball Dreams 1 and 2, Pinball Fantasies, Pinball Mania, and Pinball Illusions, each featuring four pinball tables. That's twenty tables in total, each with a unique theme. The physics are reasonable, but can hardly be compared to those found in newer, more technologically advanced pinball games, for obvious reasons. There's one thing the Pinball Gold Pack has that its younger cousins don't - the sheer oldschool, nostalgic feeling you get when you play it. The fact that the game used .MOD files for music, in order to save space, might bring a tear to some of you PC veterans' eyes, too. Care to take a trip back in time for less than 10 bucks?

Ooooh I actually remember some of these. Coolios!

Wonderful, these will go well with the other pinball titles on my game shelf :)

Pinball Dreams was a revolution for pinball games on computers, and I have no idea how many hours I've spent playing it on my old Amiga.

This will be added to my collection in a very near future :)

G(OG)uys,

if you could add the first "Slam Tilt" (the one with a Formula 1 table) and "Psycho Pinball" to your store, I'd be a VERY happy man. :) Those two were the very best I have ever played. :)

Meanwhile - THANK YOU for today's release! :) PF and PI were VERY fun! :)

A... pinball.

I had a strong intuition for something in the line of Deux Ex or Systeme Shock 2 or... or... well.
Anyone want to buy a second hand crystal ball?

:) Cute release anyway. I'm happy for people whom it makes it happy.

Oh, my god! I'm soooo surprised!
...yeah, I saw the topic yesterday where the shi... I mean, twitter post was unraveled in seconds. :P

Call me spoiled, but after the three Pro Pinball games, I got Dream Pinball 3D during the holiday sale and thought it was crap. I suppose after playing Pro Pinball, there's nowhere to go but down, but still...

However, this pack looks ace. I'd love to get it right this minute, especially during the 0% off sale, but I'm going to have to wishlist it for now.

This is awesome. But the real interesting thing is, does Digital Illusions now mean EA soon?

I don't think so. It looks like Rebellion picked up the rights to republish the Pinball Dreams series like they did with a lot of older games that they did not publish first (and which can now be found on GOG through them).

You know I feel 9.99 is honestly a rip off. they should have released this at 5.99. for this kind of game 9.99 is honestly just way to much. I bought it thou cause I had too.

It's five games, not just one.

They're probably lost among the pile of empty soft drink bottles under a pinball table somewhere.

There was a pinball game I used to get a kick out of when I was younger. I think it came with Windows. I could be completely wrong but it was space themed and I think you got little "missions" in it. I have no idea if I'm remembering it wrong, or what it was even called but it was the most fun I've ever had with a pinball game. :P

Great stuff, loved these on the old Amiga. Slam Tilt would have been nice too, but quality collection nonetheless. Will grab this later. Thank you GOG.

Nice those classic games ah i remember pinball dreams clasic gaming at its best. Music was great for the time and the gameplay was fast and enjoyable.

Will probably pick this up in due course but right now getting stuff put onto new pc so no time for gaming.

You know ... I think I remember that game too. I think I found it on Google ... "3D Pinball: Space Cadet". I'm not sure how I played it since I've never owned a Win-PC (well with the exception of the current Win7 partition on my Mac). I probably played it on school/friend's computer.
