I'm pretty disappointed that people gave up on this next one so quickly. I thought I was pretty much gift-wrapping this one for you guys, but I reckon that I forgot that none of you are psychics (at least AFAIK). In any event, here's our first honorable mention: H1. The Bees (Crystal...

Nobody wants to even try anymore? Dangabbit, I thought that last clue was a real winner, too! OK, I'll spill the beans on the release details: I actually would accept one of three answers for the game of origin. All were originally arcade releases, with one being released by Atari in 1983 and...

Sorry, no, that guess wasn't even close. Here's another hint: what might you call Winnie the Pooh in a fancy car?

That's close enough for government work, but since netizen got the game right first, you and he will both get half the credit for this one. Anyway, here's the next write-up: D2. The Masked Warrior (Pit-Fighter) Developed & Published By: Atari Games Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1990 I'll...

I honestly didn't expect anyone to get this one. Kudos! Since you placed the villain, I'll assume you know the game already and give you full credit. In any event, here's the write-up: D1. Madam Q (ThunderJaws) Developed & Published By: Atari Games Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1990...

OK, here's one more clue: the game you're looking for was released in arcades by Atari Games in 1990.

Not quite...you did see that this was about video game villains, right? For our purposes, that means villains that originated in a video game. Besides, Jaws is awesome–why on Earth would he merit a dishonorable mention, unless the list was "Worst Villains Ever"? Still, Jaws is somewhat on the...

A while back, I made several lists of the top 25 video game villains of various subsectors of gaming (i.e., Nintendo, Sega, '90s PC gaming, etc.). Now, I want to share them all with you, but with a twist: I'll give you all hints as to what the next villain on the list is and you try and guess...

Actually, I was planning to run a whole "season" on these very forums prior to a field of 96, but I need to get back up on the horse with scheduling. Still, this is as good an excuse an any to pick up with the conference previews: League of Thunder (Best of the rest): The Avengers Civil War...

Pinball has changed dramatically over the years, so many elements that were once commonplace have now all but vanished—what turns do you wish pinball had (or hadn't) taken in terms of mechanics and design? Here's my own take: -Count-ups: Does anyone know if any manufacturer other than Gottlieb...

This review was kind of difficult to write, mainly because of the difficulty I encountered in separating the Pokemon license from the actual game. I myself have not played the Pokemon games in some time, but a license this big will attract some people and turn others off by its very nature...

What about Guns 'N Roses or Jurassic Park or Tommy? The second of those would be much easier to arrange than the other two, but all three are Data East decks that I've heard good things about and look really fun to play, as well as very innovative in their own right. This isn't the first time...

For the sake of research, I searched for "pinball" on the App Store to see if Revenge of the Rob-O-Bot came up. I gave up before finding it when searching all iPad apps, but found it quickly when I restricted the search to paid apps. This makes its exclusion all the more baffling—who can we...

I think that the 1,000 HoF goals for Genie, DD & FP are 10 million, 600 million and 5 million, respectively, based on my own respective HoF scores for those tables of 159 (for 1,594,140 points), 61 (for 37,069,260 points) and 197 (for 988,030 points). Please add these to the main post at your...

I think it means a table FarSight already did in one of the PHOF games. We still have Ace High, Central Park, El Dorado, Goin' Nuts, Play-Boy, Strikes 'N Spares, Tee'd Off & Victory from PHOF Gottlieb, while only Jive Time, Pin*Bot, Sorcerer, Space Shuttle & Whirlwind remain from PHOF Williams...

If what I've seen in the forums here is indicative of broader trends, it seems that there is some dissension over the soon-to-be-released Table Pack #11. Much of this is because many feel that neither table could carry a pack, but many have also expressed disappointment over no DMD table this...

Here's a dumb question: what platform do you intend to purchase your tables for? Zen haven't released all Marvel Pinball tables on every device, so here are my device-by-device recommendations: -Consoles: Moon Knight–I can't say enough good things about this table! The layout isn't nearly as...

I haven't played either table up close (although my former dentist actually had a Dr. Dude in his waiting room), so I can't confirm or deny your assertions. However, I think you unintentionally brought up an eventuality that FarSight are going to have to come to terms with, probably sooner...

This is a tough one to explain in a thread title, so I'll clarify what I mean a bit more: what's the formula FarSight use to determine the worth of a point of Hall of Fame Score on each table? Obviously, part of it is how high-scoring each table is (I would break down and cry if asked to score...

Can someone clarify a small issue for me? According to both this forum and FarSight's FB post on this month's iOS update, AFM/Genie is Tables Pack #8; however, according to the app itself (when you go to purchase this month's tables) and FarSight's post on the Mac update, AFM/Genie is Tables...
