Both Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies are considered cult games in the pinball simulation world. Pinball Fantasies was more technically advanced than its predecessor, offering many new features that the original didn't. For example, each of the pinball tables was now three screens high instead of two, all tables except Stones 'N Bones supported three flippers, and the in-game animations (though sparse) were more advanced.
Neither set of tables supported true multiball play, but Nightmare (Pinball Dreams) and Stones 'N Bones (Pinball Fantasies) offered fake multiball. While Nightmare's Jackpot was lit, two locks would hold a ball which increased the Jackpot multiplier, the lock would be temporarily inaccessible, and meanwhile another ball was provided to launch. Multi Demons is an extension of this idea, simply with a time limit added.

Famous quotes containing the word community:
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
“I do not mean to imply that the good old days were perfect. But the institutions and structure—the web—of society needed reform, not demolition. To have cut the institutional and community strands without replacing them with new ones proved to be a form of abuse to one generation and to the next. For so many Americans, the tragedy was not in dreaming that life could be better; the tragedy was that the dreaming ended.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“Populism is folkish, patriotism is not. One can be a patriot and a cosmopolitan. But a populist is inevitably a nationalist of sorts. Patriotism, too, is less racist than is populism. A patriot will not exclude a person of another nationality from the community where they have lived side by side and whom he has known for many years, but a populist will always remain suspicious of someone who does not seem to belong to his tribe.”
—John Lukacs (b. 1924)
