You and Fungi are stealing my heart. Anyway, I got 510M on Hurry this morning. It's too easy and too boring, but more fun than I expected with all the "iconic" callouts, and some nifty animations -- I didn't know Cirqus's Juggler came from Hurry. I'd probably suggest to never try for the...

It's not right to say that the sample is not statistically significant. Significance applies only to a particular claim ("MM is the most popular TPA table", the hypothesis), with a particular significance level (though it's probably OK to assume 5%). Then the sample size is a key factor in the...

FWIW, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball: Designers also included hidden messages or in-jokes; one example of this is the phrase "DOHO" sometimes seen quickly displayed on the dot matrix displays, a reference to Dorris Ho, the wife of then-Williams display artist Scott "Matrix"...

I don't know EM's very well offhand so I'll have to look at some popularity lists before picking one. I think Fireball really dominates famous unlicensed EM's. Maybe Royal Flush? Whichever one is most-mentioned on PAF, maybe. And I want to look at the # of leaderboard entries on Fireball &...

I want to see a video of this...

It looks more like the Juggler from Cirqus Voltaire to me... ;)

I mostly agree, but this lineup looks a little too lame to me compared with seasons 4 & 5. I'd replace Vector with another licensed WMS table. Kudos for the A.G. table. I might put a more famous unlicensed EM instead of Centigrade 37. And I don't believe the Bad Cats (or Mousin' Around)...

Well... this poll has an enormous number of participants (639!), and so I think is likely to have some accuracy. The ratings do appear to be strongly determined by popularity of the tables' real-life versions. I'm very grateful to smbhax for continuing to run this thing, good data is hard to...

+1M!

If you go when PAPA or Pinburgh is going on, and you can pick me up in Appalachia, you can count me in, and I'll pay ALL the gas money.

Well... is it loose, or is it tight? ;)

Oculus Rift = least-requested TPA "upgrade" ever? Or would Wii U beat it?

These games are not Williams, they are Bally. Except for "Second Hand", I can't find this one, wrong name?

Sorry for late reply, Tarek. My ranking program is core-dumping, segmentation-faulting, whatever you want to call it. I briefly mentioned it above. I suppose I will have to rewrite it, as this is not the usual kind of bug. As long as I'm here... the next rankings are scheduled for next...

Judge for yourself.

According to wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acronym#Nomenclature), they are initialisms: Although the word acronym is often used to refer to any abbreviation formed from initial letters,[2] many dictionaries and usage commentators define acronym to mean an abbreviation that is...

Do you seriously not know what TAFG is, especially since it's been mentioned in this thread, and probably spelt out word by word?

This is what multiball is for. My best games are 90% starting MB and then shooting the L & R lanes and lock to get to the Bonus X rollovers, and also build bonus.

It does. I think a Stern table might be less likely because of SPA; I think Stern would want all their tables in SPA rather than TPA from now on. But who knows? Here are all of the remaining WMS DMD tables (if I got this right): Bally - Gilligan's Island, World Cup Soccer, Popeye, Corvette...

Apparently Farsight did know what they were doing. ;) More pinball, less fanboy stuff.
