I'm glad to hear that you like what you've seen of Fairy Tower! I agree that $14.99 for one pinball app is a bit on the pricy side, but given just how much care and thought go into each of LittleWing's tables, I think it's worth it, particularly since that $14.99 figure is a deep discount from...

OK, here we are with our first review! As you probably saw in the title, today's subject is Fairy Tower. Released in 2007 by LittleWing, Fairy Tower is supported for Windows XP, Vista & 7 or Mac OS 10.3.9 to 10.7.5. This table was slow going for me at first, but I really warmed to it once I...

We've all had our frustrations with FarSight's inability to get big licenses on a whim, but what licenses does it make the most sense for them to target? Here are my own thoughts: -Batman: This is the archetypal "pricy-but-you-get-what-you-pay-for" license for FarSight. Batman has spawned...

It's been a while, hasn't it? We kick off the new year with a conference whose very inclusion will probaly be a source of controversy: Paladin's Blade (Marvel Pinball/Pinball FX/Zen Pinball): Buccaneer (Pinball FX Classic Pack) Captain America (Marvel Pinball) Epic Quest (Zen Pinball)...

I've been thinking along these lines a lot since I first got TPA. Here are a few I would seriously consider buying for my home, sight unseen, for the theme alone: -Digimon: A lot of the older pinheads would turn up their noses at this one, but few themes will pull more money from Generation...

I know that when this issue has come up in the past, it's been mentioned that FarSight are open to the idea, but obviously, nothing has come of it yet, as least as far as the end user is concerned. Regardless, here are three suggestions for TPA-original/exclusive tables that I think would be...

As you can probably gather, this is the first post of The Pinball Apprentice, which will mainly focus on reviews of video pinball. I might also weigh in on newsworthy pinball events and occurrences, as well as just about anything else that may cross my mind. Hopefully, I'll manage at least 1...

Here are my own Top 10 Most Wanted "No License Issues" Tables For 2013. I restricted myself to tables that have not, to the best of my knowledge, been announced yet: 10. Who Dunnit?: This has to make it in on the strength of the oddball theme alone. To my knowledge, this is the only...

Device/OS: iPad 3/iOS 6.0.1 Bug Description: I can't purchase ST:TNG. Whenever I try to, it tells me I need to be connected to the Internet to do so, even though my iPad is already connected to the Internet. I've already tried all the common solutions, having restarted the app, restarted my...

For my own part, I try to be sympathetic to people airing their grievances in such a manner (it helps that I've had issues with downloads before and am currently having problems with purchasing ST:TNG) and think that part of the reason people react so vehemently is that they do care (the panoply...

As the final hours until Christmas wind down, we look at a conference I've wanted to break down for you all for a long time: Wild Roller (PC pinball): 3-D Ultra Pinball Android (Epic Pinball 1) Crystal Caliburn Desert Run (Obsession) Duke Nukem (Balls of Steel) Enigma (Epic Pinball 2) Pangaea...

Well, that's disappointing. Given how many great analog tables they still have to do, though, I can't say that I'm entirely surprised. Hopefully, they can get around to something like this once things settle down with TPA on Wii U. Also, I second getting Metroid Prime Pinball onto other...

I take it you have personal experience with this (assuming you're the same Rafie I see on Zen's forums). I respect your point about dividing the community, but this would be the only way to get Nintendo-themed tables until whenever The Big N pull the plug on their own gaming devices, so I...

I wasn't sure if this went in the Wii U forum or Unreleased Table Discussion & Requests, so I put it here for now. Anyway, many of you are probably agog at the thread title, but please hear me out. Nintendo have come up with some brilliant video pins over the years, including classics like...

Avenging Revenant is the conference dedicated to handheld & mobile pinball. I suspected you might not have the greatest affection for video pinball, so I'll see if somebody else can look at those conferences instead (paging Dr. Bonzo...). Myself, I adore video pinball–it was what got me into...

Here are the ones I knew off the top of my head: 1) Transformers 2) Medieval Madness 3) Jack*Bot 4) Dirty Harry 5) X-Men 6) Elvis 8) Indiana Jones (Williams) 9) Star Trek: The Next Generation 11) Theatre of Magic 14) Black Knight 2000 15) Starship Troopers 16) Twilight Zone 17) Scared Stiff 18)...

If I recall correctly, a Pin*Bot/Dr. Dude pack should be coming out in March, as least if PiN WiZ is to be believed (he didn't say that exactly, but given that it will be one of the first two packs to come out after AFM/Space Shuttle and that Pin*Bot has a far higher profile than Cactus Canyon &...

I strongly considered adding Godzilla to the "outside possibilities" category for just that reason, but then it occurred to me that the pin was based on American Godzilla, so I opted against it. Still, the best thing one can say about Sega Pinball is that it was a step up from Data East...

I got a chance to see a longplay of it on the YouTubes a few days ago. It has good music and the physics are about as good as could be expected for a Game Boy video pin, but the gameplay looks a little bit on the shallow side and I can see the lack of scrolling getting on peoples' nerves in a...

That sounds about right from what I've seen there. Also, I would just like to note that the reason Ms. 'Splosion Man won't make the FX-to-Zen jump is that Ms. 'Splosion Man is a Microsoft Studios property (the original developer, Twisted Pixel Games, got bought out late last year); this is also...
