    Can I purchase the new Stern tables individually, I already own the old Stern tables

    Well, there's good news and bad news. The good news is, there's finally an option to purchase the tables individually. The bad news is, it's completely busted at this point in time, at least on PC: it lists the price as "ERROR" and the button does nothing. Oh well. Guess we can rest assured...

    Can I purchase the new Stern tables individually, I already own the old Stern tables

    The fact of the matter is that, even assuming a $10 price tag for each individual table and writing off any chance of getting a discounted three-pack with just the new tables, we're still currently getting gouged an extra ten bucks by having to buy both packs instead of being able to buy only...

    Banzai Run

    Excited to have Banzai Run at long last... except the ball is so fast it's almost like you're playing on the upper playfield, even when you're on the main playfield. Case in point: a solid ramp shot on the actual machine usually angles the ball nicely to the right flipper on exit. Yet in TPA, it...

    Table Pack #72 Speculation Thread

    Bugs Bunny is notoriously bad. Millionaire, on the other hand, I've played at an arcade expo, and two words sum it up best: completely forgettable. Never played RG or PS before, but if they're in the same tier as the other two, we're probably not missing anything. Anyway, I too would like...

    Bug Skill Shot Standard Goal does not register (Steam)

    I've probably shot both the upper lane skill shot and the Joker skill shot at least five times each, yet the goal for making a skill shot has yet to kick in (which, of course, makes it impossible to progress to the Wizard Goals). Anyone else seeing this?

    Table Pack #65 Speculation

    This whole post is a reach. You wanna know why? This was found literally less than a minute after doing a Google image search for "drunk clipart". They literally just took this image, pasted a soccer ball over the head, and changed the text. Mystery solved. The point I'm trying to get to is...

    Table Pack #64 Speculation

    The funny thing is that Buffalo Pinball just did a stream on the original Firepower on Thursday. Coincidence, or *puts on tinfoil hat* do ya think they know TPA-related stuff in advance?

    Table Pack #61 Speculation

    "MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW" For most people, that's it right there (kind of like how "lol German polka-dancing cactus" sums up most people's love for Cactus Jack's). On a more on-topic note, hearing that the final table of the season will be a WMS/Bally is definitely music to my ears. If it's an...

    Table Pack #60 Speculation Thread

    Yeah, I think this pretty much has decided it. Since this seems to be the direction that TPA seems to be going, and with no signs of Bally/WMS being renegotiated, my Season 7 pass money will instead be going to Zen. They may not have real tables, but at least theirs are functional and enjoyable.

    [SPA] Not playable due to performance issues

    The problem isn't just DX11, though - at the heart of it all, the true fault lies in a shoddily-optimized graphics engine. Take me for an example - my PC is only a couple of years old and sports DX12. It runs DX9 TPA smoothly with no problems whatsoever. Yet DX11 TPA is slow as molasses on my...

    Stern Pinball Arcade first impressions

    What did it for me wasn't the reviews, but things I've heard on this very forum, such as: A. Initial lack of keyboard support for PC (how do you screw up something so basic?) B. Optimization horror stories, i.e. game runs slow even on high-end machines (for reference, my PC can run Overwatch on...

    PC - Bug Goals not awarding

    Started playing this table, and immediately noticed that I wasn't getting any goals. It's not just one that's not awarding, either; it's literally all of them.

    Regenerated version release date?

    Well, that's good to know - makes it sting a little bit less. Still, was I the only one expecting a PinBot/Jackbot situation with these (i.e. identical playfield, but new visuals and deeper rules), or was I expecting too much?

    Regenerated version release date?

    Same here. The entire table just feels flat-out unfinished, with the DMD missing key information and, if the constant blank-outs are anything to go by, several animations / displays, and with many shots and features just feeling broken (multiball being a key offender - the Cybermen targets, most...

    Regenerated version release date?

    It's really not all that different from the original, TBH. It's themed around the newer series, some of the shots have been moved around a bit (for example, the ESCAPE targets - ANGELS in this game - are scattered around the playfield instead of arranged in a bank, and the Transmat target - now...
