It's a POOOOOOOOR collection of 3 Bally pinball tables and just 1 (I mean: ONE!) Williams' game (why is it Williams Pinball Classics then?). They're not recreated properly. The DMD in Black Rose, Tales of the Arabian Nights and Creature from the Black Lagoon display details the original games didn't show (such as player number, wrong font, missing credits or free play)! The "status report" functionality is absent here. You'd better look for something else.

Game is extremely demanding. Got an Inspiron 8100, 1.13 GHz, 512MB, GF2 Go - praised as the fastest gaming laptop of 2001. Should toy with the game, but menu chops and game runs in slo-mo if not set to 256 colors and all visuals off.
I also second Hippojay - display support needed for 1280x1024x8, or game will throw error message and refuse to start. Tested on 3 machines.

Getting an error when trying to install. Once, when it asks to install Direct X and then when I go to start the game I get a setpallet error, stemming from the Direct X.
