* Note that the video does not show the 50 fps properly, so it should be tested on real CPC + monitor!

Mucho apologies to Blaizer, McKlain and anyone with ears! ^_^
Probably the best pinball i've ever played on Cpc... Congrats !!!
I think I can screenshot vote this and feel good about it.
I have to thumb this one up, wish i had real hardware to test it on :).
No access to hardware here either, but I'll thumb it up based on the video. Massive work.
Video vote, looks and sounds like very impressive work. Batman Group forever!
Excellent!
After seeing Mahjong/CargoSoft flickering graphic modes are a bit outdated ;)
The best PinballGame on Amstrad for sure.
Really nice preview.

woah
Looks awesome!
cool!
I hope it will be finished, unlike the C64 version. :)
(also, I secretly wish someone would convert Pinball Fantasies instead :D)

Nice preview, efficient work!
I...don't...believe...this... 8O
Bloody hell, this is good, this is really good - impressive!! Great job guys!!
Thumbs up, it looks and scroll really that good on real CPC. Seems to play well too, even though I was never good at pinball games.
No explanation needed for the thumbup.
Holly shit. Amazing Job!
😍
Impressive!
Really impressive! Good Job BG!
What everyone said.
I couldn't believe it on the CTM-644-2 and that yellowed 6128 with old logo, a little miracle.. I'm really impressed and it's only a preview. Madness!!!!!
I'm scared by the CPC now, it's like 1989 again and impossible stuff I remember on the ST...
Huge thumb up! Thank you <3

Very impressive! I like the split-screen!
Huge... Also what tomaes said about (better) PF :)
This looks very good!
Just played it, this really feels like the Amiga original! Completely awesome, please finish it! :)
rulez.
Will there be sequels (Pinball Fantasies, Pinball Illusions)?

awesome work!
Rulez!
Looks decent enough in the video, and that's already worth a thumb. Will still need to check this on real hardware :)
LE WOW °__°
Definitively a game I will play. Really close to the original :)
Don't want to start a polemic, but I feel like real fullscreen could be somewhat technically achievable, maybe there is a missed opportunity here. ** BUT ** since I don't have complete overview of the game (especially in term of memory footprint), I'm just expressing a doubt here. I may be completely wrong :)
I really look forward for final version.

Previews should never exist. But this Pinball is a cool game.
I agree with Sylvestre, but the graphics are so cool!
Screenshot thumb!
Very cool prod for the CPC. Wouldn't expect less from the Batman guys. I just can't get used to YM sound though.
Great job!
This is wow.
Fine pinball music+sfx+jingles audio system.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback!
@Beb
Well, I really do not know if it could get a better result for the intro screens using EGX because they need colors out of the standard CPC palette. I would try, if there were a quick way of testing in EGX, perhaps it is possible to add these modes to Perfect Pix, in order to paint/convert screens more easily.
@moonshine
Everything is possible in CPC!
@norecess
Current in-game screen are 69632 pixels (mode 1), more than the standard 64000 (320x200). Any way, I agree with you about a wider screen would be much better. I think it would be possible to do it 2 or 4 characters wider, sacrificing some speed, it is mainly a memory issue (speed is no problem, about only half a frame is consumed). But still I can not know if there would be enough memory, I first have to finish the current board, PD is a very demanding game in many ways, for example, I have reserved a buffer of 14kb for musics and sfxs of a board, due to the amount of jingles and sfxs required. And the game must support the four boards, so the required memory for the current board is only an approximation. The same goes for the gfxs of lights, it is still possible that some of the missing boards need more memory for this than the current board.

@Rhino yep, thanks for the explanations. I think a wider screen would not actually improve gameplay, so better off to focus on finishing the game first :)
Incredible...
holy shit that looks amazing
will hold my thumb back until its done, tho :)

Nice. This could be a hit in the Amstrad app store.
@Rhino: I understand, you wanted to have a lot of color... Nice
Supersylvestre have already shown us this kind of mode, years ago.
It could be a nice improvement in your perfect pixel tool if you add this EGX mode. (And a new commandline converter, a bit more easier)
Thanks.

So good I finally registered my SceneID...
kwt
F..king unbelievable!!!
How can you do that? :O

Impressive !
AMIIIGAAAAAA
thumps up!!
Damn, how to kill Speccy, ST en C64 in the same move....
cool stuff.. but game actually still misses the actual rules..
then again, whatever:
then again, whatever:
because it's a preview ;) this is going to sell Amstrad like small breadbin ;Pp
Hmmm, I see here more hype than C64 Pinball Dreams preview which was released ten years ago... Additionally C64 version used only 64 kB RAM and 1 Mhz CPU.
Hey Rhino, this is stunning!
omg just crazy, would play with that game when i was kids
impressive
Stunning! Imagine this in 1985.
on which emulator should we run? on Mess/Mame it is quite a frustrating experience... (btw. if anyone can help improving Mess/Mame emulator, please do, they released all the sources at github)
@nitrofurano I suggest using WinAPE if you are using Win32/64.
Nice job (but lot of work still needed in order to reach a final version).
Qué ganas tengo de poder jugar a las demás mesas. ¡Ánimo!
ultraawesome! :)
Little bit desappointed by the graphical aspect (I was expecting hires after Pixel Perfect), but nice gameplay and clever use of CPC strenghts.
Looks and plays great. Awesome!
Insane achievement. I'm never going to play this one though :)
Well done! (even though I was expecting better graphics)
Yep!
OMG.
HOW IS THIS.
HOW IS THIS.
:D
Absolute rulage!
Absolute rulage!
There must have been shitloads of work to make this happen. My hats off to you!
Very good..! Amstrad CPC has in some aspects quite nice hardware! Because of that up/down scrolling with huge bitmap is so easy. But please, pretty please: consider doing this in EGX ("320x200" with 16 colors) as in Imperial Mahjong. That game raised technical level quite a bit. ;-)
Would be graphically far better off _and_ wouldn't sacrifice any memory. (And how about ball with sub-pixel rendering/anti-alias?) You could probably squeeze in sample playback in the music player as well (as a side-effect). Huge work, of course. =P

great

@Sparklite
Thanks for the suggestion, although I'm afraid EGX requires a CPU usage which would not be feasible in-game.

Whoa!

Unbelievable! What a fantastic work!
Will the source code of this game be released?

@sdsnatcher
Thank you!
At the moment it is not planned to publish the source code, but depending on how many people be interested it might be possible.

Wow. Just W-O-W!
I truly admire your skills and dedication!
I personally do not have a CPC but I would buy one to play it on a real hw! =)
@Rhino:
Do you reverse-engineer the amiga source code and adapt/improve it for the Schneider's CPU? Seem most probable knowing it is aimed to be as closed amiga-like as possible.
Anyway, GOOD LUCK!
Waiting with impatience to se the final (or even 9o%) result!

@sim
Thanks!
We are doing it from scratch, without disassembling the original.
Still, I hope it's as fun to play in CPC as in Amiga!

Hi!,
Batman Group is proud to present our new division for the game development "BG Games".
This new brand arises from the need to show the world the true potential of CPC as gaming machine.
Pinball Dreams will be the first of our releases. Finished since November, we're just waiting to close a deal with the giant Rebellion to bring the CPC the official version of the famed classic on which industry legends like 21st Century Entertainment or DICE were founded.
The wait will be worth it...
In the meantime, we'd like to show you a new little preview in this video teaser:

After the incredible Pinball Dreams on CPC, the best cars game on Amiga is Vespertino (via emulator) ;)
Bravo Rhino & BG !
