One of the most waited games on Amstrad CPC is a conversion of a pinball game on Amiga : Pinball Dreams preview by Batman Group.

Opinions are unanimous : very nice port of this Amiga game on Amstrad CPC ! The keys used to play are :

• Control / shift left for left flipper
• Enter / backward slash for right flipper
• Cursor down to launch the ball
• Space to push the board
