This is still the a great way to play these Williams machines ever since they've been stripped out of The Pinball Arcade. Sure, a lot of them are on FX3 and VPX, but this is more of a quick and easy option. The physics are a bit lenient and the PS3 version predictably drops frames during multiball, but overall it feels solid. The bonus features like the guides and flyers are nice, too, but ultimately the game feel is most important and I think it's pretty good here. Also, I have to mention the surprisingly stellar soundtrack, with some tracks borrowed from the Gottlieb Collection and some new ones. Really great stuff.

Get this for 360 or PS3, since those are the only two ports that have Medieval Madness and Arabian Nights. The game performs better on real 360 hardware, but it emulates better on RPCS3. So, pick up a 360 copy or download the PS3 version. You don't need much horsepower to run this one.
