In Amiga "pinball dreams 2" was called "Pinball fantasies". It had and a third sequel called "pinball illusions" did that ever came out on PC's ?

[Kosta]

As a matter of fact it has and I have it somewhere here... I'll see if I can dig it up :)

[Anonymous]

Er, only the tables on Pinball Fantasies were completely different.

[Kiddiarni]

lol...discussing pinball is something i never saw coming...

[Jax]

Its asking for a word in the manual ;( cna't play it i think

[Durak]

Try entering anything and see if it works.

[?]

I need the code to play! :angry:

[??? boy]

:Brain: :sneaky: I have the remake to! on visual pinball!

[!!!]

[wormpaul]

Brilliant game this one..

Great "maps"

[Quasimidi]

Is there anyone has a working code for it please?
I would be greatful to get a code.

Thanks in advance! :bye:

Yep, it's asking for a code from the instruction manual - I found the crack here:

http://home12.inet.tele.dk/per_stef/spil/cracks/p.htm

But the game hangs if I press the spacebar after the patch has been applied. Press the Windows key to get back to the desktop, and right-click minimized window on the taskbar to close the program. If anyone knows how to get this game working in XP, please post the method.

[Quasimidi]

Couldn't find any working solution to bypass the protection.
The only way seems to be to use the PBD2 manual.
Sorry for my poor english :D

[the dude]

I had the same prob. I manually startet the dos-window and maually set the path to the pdcrack.com. an error-message appears, which says

"
search string not found!
file patch failure!
"

that is why, the game doesn't work and why the screen gets dark after pressing the spacebar.

does anyone know, how to fiy that problem?

Yeah I remember Pinball Fantasies!
You had the amusement park, a cemetary an off road courses and a game show room. Best pinball I ever played!

I have the same darn problem with PD2. :angry:

I have the same problem...

People who could play the game could explain what we should do...

it´s a pitty, I had this game before, but I couldn´t run in a new pC, now that I found it, it doesn´t work because a code that it asks...

I had a number of problems with this...

1. The copy protection. Well, all I did for this was hit enter (must already be cracked).
2. I was running it in Dosbox, but the game would seem to lock up - black screen(like a bunch of people mentioned). I set the cycle count lower (I used 8000, tried 3000 as well but it was far too slow) and that seemed to fix this problem.
3. The table scrolling was creating some awful screen tears. So, I enabled the "Use doublebuffering" option in dosbox and now everything seems to work great.

Hope this helps some of you out.

Unless you have DOS drivers for your sound card I don't think you'll be able to get sound.

Why didn't you read the previous posts? The copy protection's already cracked, apparently.

AND PLEASE DON'T USE ALL CAPS; THERE'S NO NEED TO SHOUT AT PEOPLE!

[Swedish Witchcraft]

I HAVE THE CODE TO THE GAME!!!

CODE: PD213320000

:ok:

(taken from http://www.4cheaters.de/pc/cheats/pinball_dreams_2_2337)

[Malört]

Is this problem solved?
I really want to play this game, and I can´t get it working. The "creditslist" is running, I get the "wordquestion", presses enter and then it´s all black.... :cry: Please help!

(about the code....PD21332000 this is for a allready working game, gamecheat, and has nothing to do with installing PD2)

[DemonCrab]

I've trouble finding the manual to pinball dreams II. If someone would please help me find where to download the manual, I would be much appeased. :Titan:

[Bri]

Unfortunately, I also get a black screen after the word question. =(
I'm on XP.

I strongly suggest you use DosBox (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net) instead.
You can download it here (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/download.php?main=1).

If you have any problems with it, try having a look at the official FAQ (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php) on the DosBox site.
Basic Setup and Installation (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=Basic+Setup+and+Installation+of+Dos Box)
Command Line (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=CommandLine)
Z instead of C at the command prompt (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=FAQ%2FI+have+got+a+Z)
Internal Programs (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=Internal+Programs) (important, especially MOUNT)
Most of the stuff in there is not really needed, but you would do best to familiarize yourself with the specific topics I linked to.
The mounting of your DosBox games directory, switching the promt to the emulated C: drive and clearing the screen from previous commands can all be executed from the [autoexec] section of dosbox.conf (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=dosbox.conf), so you won't have to re-type them every time round.
Frontend programs (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=DOSBoxFrontends) can help running DosBox with varying configurations for different games.
For both a more accessible user interface and oldschool feel, you can use Norton Commander (get it from our programs and utilities page (http://www.abandonia.com/main.php?nav=programs) - scroll down to the bottom to find it). NC might seem awkward at first, but in fact it is a very functional genuine DOS era file manager frontend. It has a plethora of functions that will help you in navigating around the directories, while still retaining the command prompt.

[Guest]

I'm sorry but i couldn't use the DOSbox because i don't know how, i couldn't understand any thing for the site you like above, would you please and i would be grateful for you if you show me how to use it and how to get the games ruining, i tried my best but i never get it work,

thank you and if you like you can email [BEEEP]@yahoo.com

i would really appreciate it.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Read the official DosBox FAQ (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php), and particularly this part of it. (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=Basic+Setup+and+Installation+of+Dos Box)

It doesn't get simpler than that.

[Dillon]

Pinball Dreams 2 is rather underrated, I think this is much better than the precursor, I guess if it wasn't released on the Amiga, then it wasn't any good...

[marti]

I have the game-PD2.Where i can find user manual.

[Mighty Midget]

You could try replacementdocs.com

[Bartimaeus]

Personally, I don't like this game that much. Reasons:

1) No ball saves. If you lose a ball in the first 5 seconds, it's GONE. :blink:

2) You can't remap the controls. As a Mac user (whose computer doesn't distinguish between Left and Right shift), this means a trip to the DOSBox remapper instead.

THAT SAID, the tables are pretty good.

[Guest]

you brought it on by yourself, dont buy a mac xD

[_r.u.s.s.]

well, the game was KINDA meant for pc.. so that you use DOS emulator is your mistake (advantage), dont nag about controls

[Oldjaderust]

Tried running it in DosBox but doesn't work at all.
"Unable to load Pinball Dreams 2."
Not sure what to do. Can anyone help? Thanks.
