Preview  Pinball Challenge Deluxe
- By Dan Doll [Editor In Chief]

Nearly ten years ago, Pinball Dreams was released on the Commodore Amiga in 1993 to critical acclaim.

In 1994, Pinball Fantasies continued the quality of computer pinball that Pinball Dreams started the previous year.

Over the years both titles were converted onto a number of different systems, including Atari Falcon, Atari Jaguar, Super NES and Sega GameGear to name but a few. During there original release both titles cumulated over a MILLION unit sales.

Now, it's 2002 and Binary9 has reproduced these classic challenges in the Gameboy Advance title, Pinball Challenge Deluxe.

Published by Ubisoft, this game boasts the following features:

- 8 Classically themed tables
- Hiscore saving to cartridge
- More than 300 pieces of music
- More than 50 sound effects
- More than 200 game modes
- More than 450 lights
- Tables feature 2 or more flippers

Just how 200 game modes can be implemented remains to be seen. What can be seen, however, are some shots of what the existing tables look like:
