On behalf of all BG, thank you very much for the review!These days, some people have asked us how to make donations, but it is not necessary. Our best reward is the feedback and watching the CPC community grow!
I have played two Amstrad pinball games before this one.
Pinball Wizard from 1985

Advanced Pinball Simulator cheapo from 1988

Having now seen Pinball Dreams, I can state that the pinball games I had seen on my CPC earlier, didn't quite use the full potential of the CPC. Maybe 10%. Maybe...
I like a lot the feeling of 3D Pinball. Felt the heaviness of the ball and its acceleration

I spent quite a lot of time with Macadam Bumper. Great game for it's time. Just remember that I wasn't really impressed by Advanced Pinball Simulator on a friend's ZX Spectrum (compared with Macadam Bumper).
Prior to playing Pinball Dreams, one of my favourite pinball games on the CPC was Time Scanner (https://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=2238). 3D Pinball was pretty good as well and very smooth, although it's a shame it only had one table.
Macadam Bumper for me till I switched to Amiga.
I think it had a level editor?

Yep. But never created a table better than the original one.
I had Macadam Bumper when released, I liked the intro pic. ;) (https://cpcrulez.fr/img/z1373.png)

Thank you, my friend.And the best of CPC is yet to come, as it seems that there are many people who are encouraged to make impressive games now!
I remember having tons of fun with Advanced Pinball Simulator, poor as it may look. But I knew no better, it being the only pinball sim I had on my 464. And since my dad grew up with pinballs, we used to play together - all the more reason to love it.
But, hey, putting it next to PD... wow.
