Yup, just came out last night!
FYI, Fireball isn't just "EM-like," it IS an EM!

Quoted from SteveFury:Not to be an old fuddy-duddy or "purist" but I think some of their tables look terrible.
The table graphics on the vast majority of PC and cell phone games are too cluttered for a 2D application. Here's a side by side comparison of the two El Dorado's. One is pinball Arcade and the original:

I personally find the ball is sometimes hard to track as it travels over an overly complicated artwork among flashing indicators. It's not a problem on a real game but is problematic in 2D. Much better to keep it simple.
There is more to a classic EM than only device placement (bumpers, flippers etc) but it's the artwork that forms a good part of the game's personality. Some of the best 2D EM tables I've played are user-created such as Future Pinball. MS Pinball arcade remains my all-time favorite despite the limited tables because they look reasonably original.
With that said, I have purchased a couple Pinball Arcade's tables (Gorgar etc) and other author's work simply because I support the projects.
Both El Dorado (the EM) and El Dorado City of Gold (an actual, different game) are on Pinball Arcade. Apples and oranges.
