I still regard it as one of the most fun pinball games available. It just had all the important bits and captured the essence. I prefer them to modern pinball games, where everything is so extremely graphical. I enjoy the simplicity of Pinball Dreams, and sometimes, every few years, I have to whip out the emulator and play a round or fifty ^^
@@jasonscheideler Just checked it with my original amiga mod files, sounds fine to me, no distortions. Didn't spring out the headphones though, if it's a slight distortion, I wouldn't notice it over my speakers ^^
I used to play Pinball Dreams on Amiga 600 in late 90's, and here I'am again in 2023 just to listen to that great music that was played in intro game until you pressed space or cancel button 😁 All composed in midi format as I remember. Genius for my ears and memories when there was no internet...
Amazing to think a sound chip made in 1987 for home computer use had such power. It blew everything else out of the market. This is Amiga music at its finest and still holds up today.
@@paulolameiras861 It should have been the personal computer everybody wanted... it was better than commercially available products at the time for sure, could game, make music, everything. One of the situations where having a good product isn't enough to make it, not with "multi-billion dollar companies in the making" looking for the same audience :) Some of my fondest memories regarding home computing are still coming from the amiga, and a bit from my c64 + NES, which was my combo for working/gaming until the amiga showed up and made them obsolete.
@@notjustforme What really happened is the management of Commodore-Amiga had no idea how to market the system properly. They made a lot of bad decisions that drove Amiga into the ground. Still pisses me off to this day. Amiga could have taken over the world!
My Amiga 2000 and 3000 were always attached to my stereo amplifier to listen to the full glory of this and other Amiga game and other music. The machine was amazing and Pinball Dreams is my all time favorite computer game. Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies are both available on the iPhone/IPad now but it still plays better on the Amiga using a real keyboard.
My wife usually has zero interest in any of my geeky obsessions. I was trying out my new gotek one night and loaded up some pinball dreams, and when she walked in the room she said "wow, that sounds pretty advanced".
Every pinball table had its own mod file with a main loop and a group of sub-tunes; the game do jump from the main loop to one of the subtunes and then come back (they very likely kept a pointer to the main loop current pattern)
Not Fast Tracker 2, since it was released in 1994 for MS-DOS, while Pinball Dreams was released in 1992 for Amiga. But... definitely the music is tracker music. I bet you could search which tracker was used ;)
Ignition was my favourite table.
0:01 Title
5:21 Table Select
8:10 Ignition
13:09 Steel Wheel
17:18 Beat Box
21:46 Nightmare
The tone and mood set by the music while playing this game is unmatched to this day. The sense of immersion back in the day was staggering.
1:22 when that slap bass comes in...still gives me a chills!
STILL one of my favourite soundtracks for any game, to this day 😁 Loved what the Amiga was capable of, for music.
November 2019 .... and this game with its awesome soundtrack will never die 😃

one of the things that impressed me so much was the sound quality
Well, not in this capture. It sounds off-pitch and weirdly distorted.
Top notch, in my book

Classic joint

It's even better - it was made in 1984 :).
Actually it was the Paula chip that did sound, Denise was the video chip.
Amiga 500 was incredible advanced for it's time in all fronts. Amazing system.

...yeahhh, the amiga made me do so many tape casettes full of chiptune music...
Best soundtracks ever for a videogame.
I played Nightmare only for the music.

Them "orchestra hit" samples! 🎵
Olof Gustafsson is the composer of the music. GO SWEDEN
jezuz chryst Troll fuck.
Such musical talent comes out of Sweden. My favourite band is a Swedish band called A.C.T
Good gentleman, here. Take this thumbs up.
23:30 amazing! spooky 80s!
Very High Quality Spookyness :o
I LOVED pinball dreams and pinball fantasies, especially for the awesome music.

4:37 omg! Ilove it when this part kicks in!
17:18 Something vaguely Frank Klepacki about this.
Ignition Nightmare and Intro/Title Theme the best music amiga forever

I still play this in Dos box... works on even windows 11
For some reason beat box plays in my head whenever I'm working on a big project at work and I'm not sure why but I like it 😁
The lead at the beginning is like 'Asmo - Jam The Dance' haha 17:18 sounds really good and love the dark and scary atmosphere at 23:28
11/10 points to music.

Those tracks where made with Fast Tracker 2

@@chriscprivat It was ProTracker they've used for Pinball Dreams ^^
