    Bally Midway manufacturing company 1983 -1988 have 0 tables in TPA

    Fun fact: If you look up dates and companies on IPDB, there is a time period from 1983-1988 that Bally goes under Bally Midway manufacturing company We have yet to see any Bally games from this time period (except EBD and Centaur but those are re-releases and not the original tables that...

    Next week for Dr. Who...?

    During the kickstarter campaign they said that the regenerated Dr Who table would be an extra and that there would still be 10 tables + that one this season. I would be very surprised if we do not see another table in October, the Halloween month. Just because they said that the regenerated...

    Request Police Force: Love it or leave it?

    I played this for the first time, a couple of weeks ago and it seemed like a good one. Better than Comet, Jokerz and bad cats in my opinion. Mousin' around is still my most wanted from this time period but Police force would also be an welcome addition to tpa.

    New VPX tables raising the bar

    Just be aware that the physics in vp10 plays a little different than vp9 and that it is a lot more demanding on your pc setup, if you would like to play with everything on max settings. Just a few observations: The ball is heavy, almost too heavy in some cases. There is ball spin, almost too...

    Stern Pinball Arcade for Gear VR

    I agree. I think Tron is great. It can seem a little simple at first and the rules are not that deep. But this one and Iron Man actually benefits from having simple rules. It is all about choices and how you utilize them. I love Tron. The sounds and mood of the game is second to none. But I fear...

    new to this site, my opinions on tables id like to see made for the ps4

    Welcome to the forum. Some great titles. Only problem is that most of those are heavy license titles and the old tables does not sell enough for them to hunt down big licenses. Surf champ/Surfer and Eight Ball is possible though, and Surfer is one of my favorite EM tables so I am in your...

    Wife Gave Me The Green Light!

    Also, Pinside can be soup of bad ingredients in most cases, but when it comes to helping others with pinball problems, it can be a great source of help. Find a thread about your machine, and post a question about the problem, or just post it under a thread in, say "Tech: Alpha-Numeric" or "...

    Wife Gave Me The Green Light!

    If you plan on keeping the machine for while, I say it is worth it. They will work for another 40 years at least :) but I guess it depends on how worn the boards look. How does the connectors to the board look? Those are often the ones that go first. At least they are not that expensive. I know...

    Tables you were completely wrong about.

    Sorry about JD, but I find the design clunky and the rules boring. If it helps, I really wanted to like it. It looks good and the sound is cool (in small doses) Please do not hit me hard, I am friendly sort of person :)

    Tables you were completely wrong about.

    This is my 5 biggest let-downs of the tables I had not played before TPA (I have not included tables I expected nothing from or tables I already knew were bad) Eathshaker - How can a table so close (in time and design) to Whirlwind be so boring. Safecracker - Was fun for 5 minutes before the...

    Marriage between Farsight and Heighway? Not very likely

    The only sane man to set foot in the pinball industry :D You should play Bride of Pinbot 2.0 They have a mode in there that is a homage to Python. Planet Pythonia. That's the name Python told friends he was going to before he passed away, I believe. Pretty cool gesture to put that in there.

    Marriage between Farsight and Heighway? Not very likely

    Another great post I agree with those of you that say twitter has become a place to vent out to the world and complain about all and everything for many. I still follow a lot of people on there, because there is still a lot of good stuff among the trash. PS! My original post was not meant as a...

    Marriage between Farsight and Heighway? Not very likely

    Because Digital and Real pinball is not directly competitive? or because he is not representativ of the company he works for when using an alias(a well known alias though)? or is it ok either way?

    Marriage between Farsight and Heighway? Not very likely

    Since he is not posting under the Heighway name, I guess it is ok. And for the record, I have nothing against it, personally. It was not because of what he wrote, I thought about it. (it is not any worse than the opinion others have here on the forum) He is a part of the industri, though. So...

    Marriage between Farsight and Heighway? Not very likely

    The lead game designer for Heighway Pinball, Dave Sanders, *****-slapped The pinball arcade, hard and brutally on Twitter yesterday. (I believe he is also a member of this forum) Eight Ball De Luxe was the target of his wrath, in particular. For the record, he is not saying anything that a lot...
