Watch the PAPA tutorial video. Read the in game ruleset. Keep playing. You'll get it. It's a fun table because even when you have pinball chops you can get stomped and then it becomes a "just one more time" kinda thing.
I built one a long time ago. Building the cab and wiring it can be done in a weekend if you power through. Getting the artwork and software set up is where all the time goes. Get all that sorted first. Then build it.
I'd say when you do decide to get the cab going I'd prolly build one vs covert...
My local arcade here in Nashville has a pretty awesome pin selection. Games Galaxy is the name of it. They have a lot of good ones, Addams, both Elvira machines, Monster Bash, Dracula, Twilight Zone, most of the newer stern tables, Data East Star Wars, Congo, T2, Fish Tales, Black Rose, Bride of...
Agreed.
Now for my thoughts on the subject:
Every EM I have in my TPA library is a table I HAD to buy because it came with a table I actually wanted. Farsight knows this. That's why they packaged them the way they did. Now that tables are sold individually it becomes much more vital to...
I was actually thinking about this very idea this morning as to ranking the tables in TPA in order of their difficulty but given there are so many people on the forum you would need some set of criteria to measure it. So here are the factors that I would imagine you would use to objectively...
that left ramp shot all day long in Scared Stiff. My favorite table constantly changes between a handful. Attack From Mars, Monster Bash, Theatre of Magic.
I think last score is a better option. It encourages you to become a consistently better player moreso than using best score. With best score you can just spam a table until you have a good game. With last score you have to be confident in the score that you put up.
No. Each ball is another chance to practice getting better at making shots. There's literally no drawback to playing through a crappy game if you are playing casually.
I guess it's worth it if you like at least 6 of the tables enough to buy them. When I first got TPA I went through and play tested them all on real machines (awesome arcade by my house FTW) or watched youtube vids of them to decide if it would be fun to play. This meant I only bought the tables...
I would not mind in the slightest bit. I'm not really a completionist so I'm not really driven to complete all the goals for a table. I like that they're there as they're like a roadmap for how a table works, what pays out big points etc. I also would not mind setting all new high scores.
I am a Ghostbusters freak so of course I downloaded the table. I also really like HH so the fact that FS put a GB spin on HH was just awesome to me. I don't mind the fact that it's limited plays because I mainly play on PS3 so I usually can pick up my tablet and expect to have enough tokens to...
It's hard to get used to BSD's flippers. It's a ratio of about 25:1 one for bad games vs. good games. That and it seems like quite a few shots go right for the outlanes on the table too. It's okay though. It's a fun table. I did notice however that going from BSD to something like Black Rose or...
