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:
“The poorest children in a community now find the beneficent kindergarten open to them from the age of two-and-a-half to six years. Too young heretofore to be eligible to any public school, they have acquired in their babyhood the vicious tendencies of their own depraved neighborhoods; and to their environment at that tender age had been due the loss of decency and self-respect that no after example of education has been able to restore to them.”
—Virginia Thrall Smith (1836–1903)
“... to a poet, the human community is like the community of birds to a bird, singing to each other. Love is one of the reasons we are singing to one another, love of language itself, love of sound, love of singing itself, and love of the other birds.”
—Sharon Olds (b. 1942)
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
