Interesting question. I'm not a technical guy, but this is what I think. First off Farsight needs a license deal with Heighway. I doubt they will do such a thing with a company that just entered the market and only has 2 working pins on it's resume. Also Farsight will need to emulate their...

I played on at the Dutch Pinball Open and came away amazed at the incredible flow. It is tuned to perfection.

I don't know but the fact that iOS has the HOF points probably has something to do with the Gamecenter "achievement" integration. Back when there were less than 20 tables, you also earned points for standard and wizard goals. After a while Gamecenter didn't take more tables than it's in-app...

Congrats on the new shiny device! When I upgraded from an iPad 2 to an Air 2, a lot of my scores instantly improved, better framrate, clearer/crisper graphics and easier to hold for longer periods of time. I have been eyeing the Pro, but without support for native resolution, I'm afraid it will...

I have been trying to go for Pin*Bot directly also, but it doesn't feel any different to me in comparison with playing it when it came out. What's that impossible-shot update that you mention there? Did I miss something? The only change I saw over a couple of updates is to the skill shot. A full...

Twelve hours should be just enough to crack that first place... :) And provide a nice warmup for the Tournament! Hurricane feels like that table in which you can just squeak out a new highscore every time you fire it up. Just keep that MB going for all those ramps.

I get that, I even sometimes deliberately overshoot the Hurricane shot to take out some cat targets and deadpass the returning incomplete ramp shot to the right flipper for a shot at the Juggler. There is one particular incomplete ramp that is very dangerous, it makes it halfway (just...

:) Sorry about that.... I know the feeling though: new table comes out, I post a very decent score that took me three hours to get, I briefly take the #1 position and then Tarek comes along and triples my score....

Oh, ok then, carry on ;)

What exactly, may I ask, is your agenda here? :)

Thanks for the info Relaxation, something to keep in mind! If I understand correctly, I need to score at least a 16th place on all of the best tables from the players above me, then I will rank 13th instead of 14th? I definitely will have to play the averages because I just outright stink on...

Oh man, I'm on a ToTW roll for sure! Aside from Star Ship Troopers which I still don't get, I nearly doubled my Space Shuttle score and now reached 97M on Taxi for 4th place on the leaderboards! My previous best was 54M so I nearly doubled that too. I had the luck of scoring the special while...

Wow, 19B on MB, impressive! I haven't been able to crack that table yet. I love the mode stacking though and it has that spread of shots formula that also make AFM, MM and LOTR great flow tables. Anyway, thanks for putting in the work again! The ranking list has it's own little dramas happening...

Sounds perfect! Have fun with MB.

You make it sound so simple.... :)

I agree, it's all about skill on this one, and linear scoring progression levels the playfield also.

I've said this before but I'm in awe of the sheer mental stamina that is required for that kind of scores, and that is besides the skill/precision part.

I played a bunch of games on pre-production (near factory-ready) models. I was a bit torn. On the one hand I loved the theme, the art, the toys, the cutscenes intermixed with gameplay and the overall feel of Williams-like quality. On the other hand, it played a bit heavy and therefore missed...

I think Hurricane has a very nice multiball, very good practice on MB ball control. It takes skill to keep that MB going for long stretches. Very excited about Rescue 911, fond memories of playing that one.

I have nothing to add, excellent rundown. The table is more fun to play then this strategy post may make you believe (no disrespect EOS), especially keeping MB going for multiple tens of millions is very good ball control practice. Try getting two balls on the right flipper and loop the...
