If -like me- you started FS' pinballs with PHoF: The Gottlieb Collection on the PS2, released in 2004, you might be surprised to know that there was a similar-looking pinball game released back in 2000 by the name of "American Arcade" from Astroll Co. Ltd.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJKZstnMEMA - a video (it looks like it was made on an emulator) which shows more gameplay, this short one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K3YhtQpm_0 - appears to be played on real hardware, but is very short.

Apparently this game was released in 2003 as a PAL version called "Play It Pinball" by Play It Ltd. and it should still be on PSN as a System 3 title. That completes the circle as System 3 also published the European versions of Pinball Hall of Fame (released as "Classics"). Which reminds me, I'm still mad about that as they had more tables.


PS - I started video pinball games of course with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBjtsJ_DJio

Tell me about it......Why did the Euro version of PHoF Gottlieb have Goin Nuts, but not the US version. Also, what tables came on the Euro version of the Williams HoF?

There should only be a difference between the various platforms (PS3 has more tables than the PS2) but nothing else. Or which table are you missing, Byte?

The original US version of PHOF Gottlieb didn't have that either; it was added in to the PSP version (alongside Strikes n Spares and El Dorado), and all subsequent versions (Gottlieb Pinball Classics, PHOF Gottlieb on Wii) had those too.

As for the Williams one, no other tables were added to the EU version. It's the same ones as the original US releases.
