I had that problem of non-starting table tiles/icons in an earlier TPA update, now it's fine although I have been playing dr. Who quite incessantly and haven't tested the behaviour thoroughly. Doing a remote backup (always!), logging in/out, deleting and restoring one table, and doing a full...

True that....that kind of stinginess (is that a word?) goes way back to tables like Cactus Canyon

I haven't looked back actually, after it was released and I got the 22B score. I almost had to play it again when my scores for Big Hurt and EBD didn't show up at the general leaderboards but I luckily got them reinstated. I'm not a big fan of the table, but I surely won't put it below Goin'...

Wow....130! And do you activate video mode by just repeatedly shooting the left orbit, or do you hit the "escape" targets? I have been playing around with hitting the W-ramp late, so I just graze the top target. It doesn't seem to matter which one you hit to light them all. But mostly I'll just...

Then I definitely deserve LOTR! :) Or Indiana Jones '93.....

So you just create a bit of an EB cushion with the first two W-H-O EB's and the video mode one, and then solely aim at video mode and playfield multiplier?

Nice to see a thread about this, especially since going for video mode over the long run may be a viable scoring strategy (which Tarek already indicated in another thread) Some thoughts/observations: - Deliberately failing the last wave in a wave set also prevents you getting the total wave...

I own a NBA Fastbreak (huge bball fan if my avatar didn't give it away already). Let's say licensing will not be the problem (it will be though! :( ), then I would say this about the table - not a deep ruleset - it's not a really difficult pin in terms of gameplay, this doesn't make it a...

Don't say that too loud, somebody may wise up! ;) But maybe Russell is on to something and Sony has their own license agreements in contract which keeps Farsight free from having to pursue them. I guess it just shows how intricate these things can be and we can only guess. karl : thanks for the...

I think you should go work for Farsight :) You have my vote!

I don't think the succesfullness of a movie factors heavily in licensing, although it will be of some influence. It also has to do with the likeness of actors, and their voices, irrespective of the movie or other license on which the pin is based. An infamous example would be Christopher Loyd...

Just wanted to say that the videos are up again for me (iOS 10, latest TPA, dr. Who release).

I would say that the current HOF requirement is flawed for Dr. Who. I have the #25 overall score with 3.3B and it gave me 3 HOF points for my trouble. Because an earlier 2B gave me 2 points, and before that 1B 1 point, I would guess (after applying all my knowledge of advanced math :) ) that...

True, but Williams (WMS) bought the Bally pinball division and name in 1988 and I believe thereafter released tables one year under the Williams logo, next year under the Bally license and so on. So then it is not that unusal to see the WMS mother company's logo on a Bally machine? Good find...

It is an achievement if they are set high :) That's usually not the case though, but I remember having trouble on cactus canyon and Genie....

Nice going! Big Hurt probably has some issues correctly registering big bonuses and/or repeated roll-overs. Also the 16 card doubler may be at fault here. I was certain for example that my 22B actually was 32B. As for dr. Who: starting with Doctor 1 has helped my game (thanks to I think...

Yup, saw that, but wasn't sure that this was also the scoring list you used for the overall standings, my bad!

Wow, thanks for the personal and advanced scouting report! :) This is even better than just upping whatever table was figured in the "Table of the Week"-thing when we had that! I haven't checked out what my 29-38 tables precisely are, but something tells me that it won't be my all-time favorite...

Hi Relaxation, Thanks for compiling, but my iOS scores for BHurt and EBD are up on the leaderboards. I don't know if that is the case for all iOS players but from what I understand from FlippyFloppy (if I understood correctly) is that those scores ended up at other leaderboards and that they are...

Ha! Funny.... :)
