Even if you set the wear to the "neglected" setting, there's no visual change to the machine, and the changes to how the table plays will be negligible to all but the most sensitive players. This last option is the most interesting, but it doesn't actually have much effect on the game. You can also adjust the table slope, the flipper power, and the amount of wear on the machine. The options don't end at the operator's menu. You can even increase the number of balls per game from the standard three to ten. The designers have attempted to give you total control over the game: You have access to the operator's menu so you can change replay scores, check incredibly detailed factual histories, and so forth.
PRO PINBALL FANTASTIC JOURNEY PRO
Like other Pro Pinball games, Fantastic Journey is as much a simulation of owning an actual pinball table as it is a game. Playing the game couldn't be more straightforward you use the CTRL keys to activate the flippers and the space bar to nudge the table.
PRO PINBALL FANTASTIC JOURNEY FULL
The game is played with the full table in view (there's no option for old-style scrolling), and you have three elevation angles to choose from. The detail is so remarkable that it's enjoyable simply to enter the table-view mode and zoom in on the various areas. Like Timeshock, the Fantastic Journey table is modeled down to every moving part, every screw, and every flashing light. Since the release of Timeshock, the Pro Pinball series has been deservedly praised for its attention to detail. Fortunately, the reportedly final pinball game from Empire and developer Cunning Developments is as accurate a simulation as its predecessors, but it has one problem: The table just isn't as fun.
While the two recent Pro Pinball tables (Timeshock and Big Race USA) may not have been classics like Williams' best, they were still excellent tables simulated in astonishing detail. Likewise, Pro Pinball publisher Empire Interactive announced that Fantastic Journey will be the last Pro Pinball game. This was sad news, as Williams was the creator of some of the best tables of the last decade, including The Addams Family and Twilight Zone. In October 1999, WMS Industries killed its Williams/Bally pinball division. The last few months have been tough on pinball fans.
