Agreed, Kolchak. That's an important point to emphasize. I'm quite aware (and thankful) that FarSight takes more into account than these polls. Popularity in an internet poll matters, but so does expense, historic significance, availability of the real-life machine, ease of emulation...

Agreed. Indeed, I'd like the top 25 of the Williams, and you could take even more away from Sega/DE/Gottlieb.

This is great. I never heard "Shoot the magic drunk." ...Until now. :)

Sotie, those things are amazing. If I hadn't just backed T2 at the beta-tester level, I'd probably be ordering one now. I might have to wait a bit, but I love those things and will probably ask for one before too long. Two questions, though: A) How do you perform a skill shot if the plunger...

Sure, IF I had the money to buy real pinball tables, and IF I had the space to store real pinball tables, and IF I had the technical expertise to maintain real pinball tables in tip-top shape or enough additional money to pay someone else to maintain them, THEN sure, real pinball is better than...

The mobile platforms just aren't powerful enough to faithfully render the lighting from a neon tube? Isn't that why the mobile neon tubes don't really light up like that? Or is that something that might come to mobile users some time as well?

THANK you! I've been wondering about that one, too. Obviously not enough to Google it, but curious nonetheless.

Yes, that seems likelier.

Well, I certainly do hope we end up with both High Speeds. However, I agree that we won't see them in the same table pack. FarSight hasn't yet put two very similar or similarly themed tables into the same pack yet, and with good reason. If you had a pack with two similar tables and you didn't...

Agreed with the disappointment on the early Williams SS tables. Those are some of my favorites. High Speed, the original, as betrayed by my avatar, is clearly the one I wanted to see do better. I've chatted about my reasoning in other threads and won't belabor it here. Glad to see High...

From the other thread (so you can have all Bug Hunt bugs in one place): Thanks, Sean. For your Bug Hunt, today I was able to re-create all of the above more than once except for the Cannonball Run issue. (I can't freakin' get it to give me Cannonball Run as a sideshow reward :) ). However...

Thanks, Sean. For your Bug Hunt, today I was able to re-create all of the above more than once except for the Cannonball Run issue. (I can't freakin' get it to give me Cannonball Run as a sideshow reward :) ). However, I do have one further note about the "Camera does not return to plunger...

I play and enjoy every table in the Pinball Arcade, but the ones I least look forward to are: Goin' Nuts - repetitive and mind-numbing background sound (won't even call it a soundtrack), and not very interesting game play Harley-Davidson: Third Edition - annoying voiceover Scared Stiff - the...

...which seems to have come as a surprise to exactly nobody around here. :)

Absolutely agree about High Speed, the original. It was the biggest hole in the original Williams PHOF collection, and needs to be somewhere on that list. I think it finished in the 12-14 range somewhere. Good, but not good enough. And even at that position, it's still better than the drek...

Oh, I know. It's just the principle of the thing. :)

I know the scores won't count in my local high scores. I'm afraid I got my best Centaur and T2 scores of all time in the tournament, and they won't be reflected in my local high scores. That always happens with tourneys and has nothing to do with the sandbox account (though I'm playing through...

I sincerely hope the six polls are not considered with equal weight by FarSight. Honestly, I'd rather see the top 20 Williams tables before the top 3 classic SS Gottlieb tables. And how the hell did the original High Speed not crack the Williams Top 10. Travesty.

That can't be right. You didn't work Kevin Bacon in there anywhere.
