More pictures: http://media.wii.ign.com/media/864/864194/imgs_1.html

List of tables that seems to be included:
Pin*bot
Funhouse
Gorgar
Firepower
Black Knight
Space Shuttle
Taxi
Jive Time
Whirlwind
Sorcerer

That's 10 tables. Two more than the eight said in the press release. Weird, but then, the pictures....

My cousin had Pin*Bot for the NES. I loved it so damn much. I want this for Pin*Bot alone! The only way I wouldn't care for the collection is if Pin*Bot makes it to the VC, but this is still very tempting anyways. :D

Is there any more info for this? I'm totally pumped for some pinball now!

    Did the Gottlieb Collection ever hit the US? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

    It did, it just had really low print runs, I guess. I managed to find it new for the gamecube at a random EB I was in.

    I've been getting more into pinball lately, I'll probably pick this collection up as well.

    A quick search on eBay seems to imply that it was only released in PAL versions. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

    I've seen a used Xbox version of it, so it does exist.

    But if it's that hard to find, I must do what I can to get a copy of this at launch.

    It is downright criminal that Medieval Madness isn't on the list. Fuck this game and whoever decided what to include.

    Midevil madness is a truly great pin but what if they don't do these pins justice? I always worry about that when they remake pins into software. Its like this microsoft pinball arcade. Its surprisingly good. the 1930 baffle ball still holds my attention for some reason. I must be a pachinko addict deep inside.

    Ya, This Williams collection is on my *must have* list. I just wish Twilight zone or cirqus voltaire would make it in some collection someday. (or into my place of living)

    you can get it for about $8-9 shipped from amazon, looks like

    i just ordered myself one. :)

    this new Williams collection looks amazing. i cant wait. one of my long term life goals is to have a decent collection of pinball tables, but until i have the space/money/time for all that i love virtual pinball like this.

    Fuck Pin*Bot! MOTHAFUCKIN RUDY, BITCHES!

    Black Knight and Whirlwind are good boards too, but I think those are the only ones I've played on.

    It has fucking WHIRLWIND....

    Damn it, it better not suck or I'll cry.


    (Whirlwind / Taxi are pins that if I had the money & room, would be in my apt right now.)

    Resurrecting this thread to let people know that if they're still looking for the Gottlieb Collection, my local Best Buy is just about overflowing with them. Ps2 and xbox versions for 5$, psp versions for 10. I would imagine it's the same at most others. I picked up the psp version in anticipation of getting one soon.

    I can say from playing the Gottlieb collection that accuracy is the Pinball Hall of Fame's absolute top priority. I can't wait for this.

    US version came out on the XBox, Gamecube and PS2 so no one has an excuse. :P

    I've just realised a problem with the VC (for developers that is).

    I would have picked this game up if there was no VC. But, to me, pinball is the perfect "lazy game" when I'm too tired, or too short of time to do anything more. As such I would rather have a VC pinball game sitting as a channel to launch rather than fumble for a disk...

    There wasn't a Console port of the Amiga Pinball Dreams/Fanatsies was there? I played them for hours. Ah well, might as well see if Sonic Spinball is good...

    Yeah, both Dreams and Fantasies got SNES ports. Pretty bad conversions, as you can see from the screenshots:

    Gentlemen's games indeed.

    Not only was there snes ports (do it VC, do it now!) for both games - there was also a GBA version called: "Pinball Challenge Deluxe"

    I'm screaming through my budget - but I'm tempted....

    EDIT: Oh damn it, cheers elkatas. The AGA 1200 version was sublime.

    I just got around to ordering this today. About 7 on Amazon.com so not bad at all. I look forward to checking this out for sure.

    I still wants me a remake of Twilight Zone though.

    I'm bumping this, because I put Pure Pinball in my Blockbuster's Xbox for customer enjoyment. It's too bad it's a PS2 game.
