Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams Collection

Just two weeks away. This version comes with all that the Wii and PS2 did, plus Medieval Madness, No Good Gofers, and Arabian Nights.

newegg is preordering it for $27.99, free shipping.

IGN just did a hands on and loved it. They said it looks and plays great. Several videos posted. Physics look much better than Zen Pinball.

Hopefully it has good leaderboard integration.

Liked the Wii version and am tempted to get it again for the PS3.

Holy crap? Did you say Medieval Madness?

TROLLS! (in a good way...if you've played the game)

And how come the 360 version is $10 more?!?!? That sucks, as I'd rather get it for the 360.

LOL. I forgot about the Trolls! That alone probably cements my getting this title now.

That, by far, is the best pinball game ever made. My buddy even bought it...then moved to Florida. Jerk!


That's me with the beer gut patiently awaiting my turn.

I can't wait to get this. Like, I really can't wait. Sure, he has the "real" one but he also paid like $3500 for it (or something ridiculous like that)

Have you guys ever played Theater of Magic? My favorite ever, but MM is up there too of course. They make THE best pinball games by far.

Would still love to see the Creature From the Black Lagoon title on these... DL content, anyone?

Too bad we will likely never see licensed machines. Addam's Family and Elvira, Mistress of the Dark were two of my favorites.

Addam's Family was good.

I seem to remember playing No Good Gophers and enjoying it, but honestly can't remember much about that specific table.

Still I am overjoyed about Medieval Madness, and that alone justifies the cost IMO.

I would think even more than $3500, at least if you were going to go with someone like actionpinball.com. This collection has some fantastic tables.

I really enjoy the simplicity of Firepower and Space Shuttle.

Black Knight
Firepower
Funhouse
Gorgar
Jive Time
Medieval Madness
No Good Gofers
Pin*Bot
Sorcerer
Space Shuttle
Taxi
The Tales of the Arabian Nights
Whirlwind

So Medieval Madness is in it? Was my understanding that was just a rumor spread through incorrect information posted at Amazon. No Good Gofers and Arabian Nights are the only extra tables I've seen confirmed.

"And how come the 360 version is $10 more?!?!? That sucks, as I'd rather get it for the 360."

It's not, the PS3 and 360 versions are both priced at $30 by Crave.

If your talking about versions on the PSP, PS2, and Wii, they're basically a different game that has been out for over a year. This is a expanded release with hd graphics and additional content.


Edit - Never thought to check out the achievement list, it is on there.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/g.../achievements/

And I see that Amazon does list the 360 version for $10 more, was supposed to also be priced at $30. They're also gouging PS3 purchases by a couple dollars as well. Hopefully it's a mistake and will be available for the more reasonable price of $30.

It's available elsewhere for preorder it MSRP at other online retailers.

But wish it had

-High Speed / The Getaway
-Theatre of Magic

I don't think those are Williams games. EDIT: my bad... High Speed is Williams.

That's awesome! I have it for the Wii and love it! I'll have to get the PS3 version though if it has Medievil Madness.

Now, if I could find Phantom of the Opera and Twilight Zone, I'd be all set

I've had this on order at Amazon since February. Got it at the $30 pre-order price. Can't wait to play some Gorgar. I wasted a lot of quarters on that one in my college days.

Anyone get it yet? I called Gamestop and they said it's a 7 day ship title so it will probably be there next WEEK. Ugh.

Got it today, and it is pretty good, although it has it share of weird things.

I own the actual "Sorcerer" pinball machine, so I wanted to compare the real game against the PS3 video game. Gotta admit, the PS3 game is quite good. There are some minor things that are different, but the kids and I like the video game.

So far, this is probably the best video game pinball I have played to date. The mechanics seem to be very good.

Definitely recommended.

Really? Even better than Pro Pinball: Timeshock!? That I find hard to believe. If so I'll run out and buy it right now.

I'm seriously interested in this and hope someone can compare to Zen Pinball. I only played the Zen demo, which I thought was OK, but it seems, based on gameplay videos I've seen of Williams, Zen has more fantasy (as in unrealistic) and overly complicated tables (for my tastes), where Williams is more firmly grounded in real tables of varying complexity that were, obviously, actually made and played.
