Same here, I loved those two games, graphics was excellent, music too, and motion was incredibly fluid for a 8MHz machine.
The linked .asm code however seems rather x86 than M68K to me, it's probably a late x86 DOS port. The PC port of the above games was not bad, but it lacked the same smoothness of the Amiga version and, if memory serves, music was a lot worse.

+1. It was damn fun, as Kick Off had been a couple years before. I have great memories of tournaments with friends; good old times.
Maybe you were playing on the PC speaker, the music on that was definitely lot worse. If you had a real soundcard though, the music was definitely up to par with Amiga or maybe even better quality, and most probably better if you were using the GUS that did it's mixing on the hardware.
The game was also very smooth on a 386 SX 25 MHz, one of my favorite games from that era. The PC version also had 256 -color support, making it a better looking version than the standard Amiga ECS version.
Interesting tidbit from Wikipedia, Pinball Fantasies was hailed in the magazines also:
"In 1994, PC Gamer US named Pinball Fantasies the 33rd best computer game ever. The editors hailed it as "the best and most realistic pinball action ever seen on a PC screen".[97] That same year, PC Gamer UK named it the 19th best computer game of all time. The editors wrote, "[I]f Pinball's your thing, there's currently nothing on the PC (or any home system, for that matter) better than this".[96] In 1995, PC Gamer US presented Pinball Fantasies with its 1994 "Best Arcade Game" award.[98]"
