When you dream of playing pinball, does your subconscious picture mediocre tables that are upsettingly pixilated?

If that’s the best that your mind can conjure, then Dream Pinball really does what it says on the pack. For everyone else, it has six rather shabby tables that use little imagination, lack innovation and that fail to excite like Nintendo’s own pinball games do. Not a nightmare, but you’ll be wistfully wishing for more excitement.
