    WMS License - Speculation Thread

    I'm inclined towards #2, but possibly influenced by the Switch fiasco and a feeling that FS were playing "fast and loose" with the licensing terms. In the end if their bean counters say it's not worth continuing with the deal, they'll pull it. This to me has the same vibe as why some of the...

    The Random Thought Thread

    Was wondering if you were watching, it's almost breakfast time, right? We also got it here, on Logo TV which is the LGBTQ cable channel. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

    Banzai Run Fatal Flaw

    Totally forgot about NGG. I kinda knew there was one I was missing but could't remember. Anyway, those (plus Safe Cracker) are his final WMS tables, and TZ typically doesn't have it enabled (not by default in TPA, and I don't recall coming across a real one with the ball saver enabled either).

    Banzai Run Fatal Flaw

    Yeah... true that a lot of early solid-state tables would give you a new ball if it drained without tripping any switches. That was about the extent of their abilities though. TZ ball-saver is optional, IIRC.

    Banzai Run Fatal Flaw

    Yes, that's pretty much the way tables were in 1988. IIRC the first ball-save was introduced in T2 in 1991, at least as it would be considered today. Also I can't think of any of Pat Lawlor's WMS tables that have a ball-save. Definitely isn't one in Earthshaker, Whirlwind, TAF, TZ. Maybe...

    Official Announcement.

    There is some concern that should this lead to Farsight's demise due to a dramatic drop-off in revenue (reports from various sources have indicated that the Season 1 pack is still by far their biggest income stream - don't imagine it will be if it loses all the WMS tables), leading to Farsight's...

    Favorite pins without pops

    If you want safe pops... don't go with a Lawlor table, seems to be the rule. I voted for The Shadow. Great table, shame we'll never see it "officially" digitized.

    Pinfest Allentown- It's That Time Again!

    Houdini - I found the shots to be very tight. I'm prepared to be patient with it, but with the possibility of only one or two games every 6 months, I won't get the chance. GotG - didn't like it as much as Iron Maiden (duh!), also the playfield reminds me a lot of Metallica.

    Lots of Iron Maidens! First impression, very long ball times. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

    Pinfest Allentown- It's That Time Again!

    Coin Taker have been pretty good with getting a number of Stern units on the floor, so I don't expect Iron Maiden to be much of a wait if they have the usual 3-4 going. The rest, I'm not holding out much hope for. I can't really handle lining up for a quick go on those pins. Guess I need to...

    Pinfest Allentown- It's That Time Again!

    I'd like there to be an Iron Maiden there. Would be even better to have the real Iron Maiden also there providing a live soundtrack.

    Pinfest Allentown- It's That Time Again!

    I anticipate being there Friday. Somehow we always manage to run into each other at York, but never at Allentown.

    Request Make it easier to get new tokens

    Kind of like when if you managed to become Elite in the original game you could send off a code and you'd get a certificate or something? I remember one other game where if you completed it, you sent the code in to the company and they sent back a pin. Maybe if you can prove you've collected...

    Request Make it easier to get new tokens

    Genie 3M isn't impossible, on any platform. Very hard, yes. Impossible, no. Unlike Safe Cracker, you can achieve it in a single game. Theoretically you could do Safe Cracker the "easy" way on PC, it's just easier if you know that nobody else is going to use that PC in the meantime. For...

    Request Make it easier to get new tokens

    The way to envisage how TPA Safe Cracker works is like this: - When you launch the table for the first time, it as if it has been just switched on with brand new factory settings and a full complement of tokens. - As long as you don't "switch off" the table, or "refill" the tokens, the more...

    Request Make it easier to get new tokens

    All well and good to have a long-running session on a console or on a PC, but on a tablet? Or a 'phone?! Forget it.

    FarSight should announce something...

    With the LCD platforms, they are at least going to have access to the raw video in whatever format it comes in. Has anyone successfully implemented LCD screens - Stern, JJ, or anyone else's - in VP yet?

    It’s the end of seasons on the pinball arcade

    Black Knight isn't broken any more (on PC, Android, and iOS at least - plus I assume PS4?). Don't know if they have any plans to release the updated, emulated, version for PS3.
