Thanks for sharing this. With the global community on internet and no real contact between customer and "store" it's easier to forget there are real people working hard at delivering the goods to your digital door. Not to say that we should accept everything and be non-critical fanboys, but in...

Thanks, now I know I'm not crazy :) And in regard to Star Trek, count me in for the giggling....boy that table is fun! One other thing: although input initials is not working at the moment for iOS, you can time it out to register the score. However, none of my scores that needed the input of...

Good find Extork ! I forgot about this, but I seem to remember that this also worked in an earlier similar TPA bug. I have been playing some Star Trek, and got to third place with a better than average game. Would have been nice to save it. In regard to SPA: it's a work in progress for sure on...

I was there when this app launched 6 years ago, and we have come a long way. In those early seasons, a new table release could easily break the whole app. People waited with updating until a few brave pioneers reported back from the Neutral Zone. There was no remote backup in the beginning. And...

That's a very familiar bug..... On earlier TPA releases it sometimes worked if you don't touch anything directly after game's end, the input initial controls would show up.

Well I'm 44 (and grew up on 90's tables) and having fun too! I like Jacks Open a bit better than Centigrade. For me the latter has a bit too much randomness in it. With Jacks Open, I feel like I didn't play well if the ball drains. I like to figure out the angles and pull some of the nicest...

Nice write-up Crawley, good to hear experience firsthand. Does sound that the particular model needs finetuning on some drain and shotmaking issues. Too bad I live in the Netherlands :)

I also like the disciplined style of playing this table enforces, somebody posted a very good diagram of "allowed" and "disallowed" shots in the strategy thread (too lazy to look it up). As with a lot of EM style pins, they are the best training ground for learning how to nudge. If you get...

I have send them an inquiry with questions pertaining to the cost of a standard model virtual pinball cabinet and also if they deliver internationally (guess they must to make this endeavour worthwhile, I don't believe Australia alone will be enough of a market)

This got me thinking about a possible sticky for the usual strategies to get TPA going again: - Logging in/out - Deleting and downloading a table via "management" - Powercycling the iOS device - Deleting and reinstalling the TPA app (after doing a remote backup!)

Oh, I love me some Operation Thunder! That's my guilty pleasure and I have fond memories of being one of the only players in a tournament that featured this table that knew how to play it! "Eagle 3, this is what you've been training for all your life!". And "Last minute pinball rethemes" would...

I know Steam is PC client software that runs on different OS like Windows, Mac and Linux, I was just referring to systems as a general description, jeez! You may be right about the video rendering being possible, but JJP pins are driven by an internal PC themselves, so to emulate that for...

That would be quite something! I'm very curious if it's possible to emulate the LCD video, even on more powerful systems like Steam and PS4/XB1.

It's not that simple I think, because if Farsight wants to put in an older Stern table in SPA, Stern/Farsight would have to renegotiate rights for the IP's. So say they want to make LOTR, it's not as simple as saying "well that's a Stern and Farsight has a contract with them, so it's a go". They...

I'm in and would gladly support a Kickstarter. I'm also curious if they would do LOTR in SPA at some point.

FS is not in control regarding the app store review process. So it could be any day now, but if things are busy at Apple, it can take some more time.

I think all things pinball have seen a steep increase in price point the last couple of years, and that now includes SPA tables as well. Offcourse I'll pay it because I'm crazy enough for pinball anyway :) I don't think we'll see any JJP's anytime soon in TPA because of the LCD monitor(s), I'm...

Disclaimer: pricing aside....ahem... :)

I liked "Killer App" better, but that probably got cut because of the fact that JJP wants to appeal to a family-friendly market. Although I concur that the present name is not strong, it's difficult to judge a "brand" name on it's original appeal when it has been there for more than 20 years and...
