    Why Isn't Farsight Giving Us System 11s Over Premiere?

    I know, man. While I don't count most of the System 11 tables as "top favorites," overall I feel like that is my favorite era of pinball. There's just something about how those games look, sound and feel that really appeals to me. I can't put my finger on it.

    Not impressed with dr.Who

    Haha, thanks. $50 buy-in, 48-man tournament. I'm not expecting to do that well, the table contributors will be playing and they have full-time access to their games.

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

    Of the games you listed these are the ones I've played: X's and O's Spy Hunter Hardbody Party Animal Heavy Metal Meltdown Blackwater 100 Party Animal is okay. Not remarkable. Blackwater 100 has an interesting layout, it's pretty cool. But the rest? Not very good. I do want to try a D&D.

    New physics on older tables - iOS

    BS, CP, Gorgar and DrD are tables that benefit greatly from the new physics.

    Not impressed with dr.Who

    The game is excellent! Dr. Who is a table I've only played a few times at a few locations so TPA has given me an opportunity to dig deeper into the game and I'm pretty happy with it. It leaves a much better impression IRL, like most tables. Keep digging. This weekend I'll get another chance at...

    Why Isn't Farsight Giving Us System 11s Over Premiere?

    But any table they buy can be resold for roughly same price, more if they improve it. Let them burn through System 11s. That would be my dream season. Most of them run about $1k-3k. That's not bad at all. Either the real issue is the WMS licensing or FS employees have bad taste...

    Not impressed with dr.Who

    Slam23 how do you feel about the speed? The outlines are definitely rough. I'm playing on an iPad which makes nudging even more difficult.

    Stern Pinball Arcade for Gear VR

    I don't think it's that simple. For one thing, Android has a million different hardware configurations. The Samsung phones limit that pool and the Gear VR further focuses the display configuration.

    New physics on older tables - iOS

    No, Addams does not have it. Everything from Xenon and after does. These are the older tables that have been updated, far as I can tell: Big Shot Central Park Gorgar Dr. Dude MM Monster Bash ... and I think that's it. Their claim about updating a few tables a month is total BS. MM and MB have...

    Why Are My High Scores And Table Goals Being Erased?

    I'm using iOS, I'm logged in, and I'm missing a bunch of scores/goals, they seem to have been reset on a lot of tables (but not all of them).

    New physics on older tables - iOS

    Dude has the new physics. MM has them, too. You can easily tell just by rapidly flipping. With the older physics the flipper is either Up or Down. New flipper physics have travel, it will only go down partially during rapid flipping.

    Stern Pinball Arcade for Gear VR

    Exclusivity for the app? Why? I'm not so sure about that, digital pinball is really niche and there has been zero marketing and very little discussion for SPA in Gear VR.

    Why Isn't Farsight Giving Us System 11s Over Premiere?

    If they put more effort into fixing up the software on all of the platforms they've spread themselves across and were more timely with console updates then they might find their sales pick up. I'm glad I don't play TPA on consoles...

    Tables you were completely wrong about.

    Sure, personal taste and all. I just happen to think it's one of Ritchie's finer moments and a fantastic implementation of a license.

    Stern Pinball Arcade for Gear VR

    I've heard Star Trek is just as bad, too. This has been out for months and they haven't made any improvements to existing tables. To my knowledge they haven't even acknowledged that there are performance problems or that fixes are coming. EDIT I just fired it up and gave AC/DC and SST a try...

    Not impressed with dr.Who

    They definitely didn't capture the feel of the Who tables I've played. I can lock balls all day IRL. In this version, the loop left of the locks eats up most of my shots or I hit the stand up target. Meanwhile, the right ramp is too easy to hit loops on. Daleks are much easier for me to hit IRL...

    Stern Pinball Arcade for Gear VR

    I have it. It's playable but it's very unenjoyable. I'm using a Note 5 in Airplane mode and it runs pretty bad. Lots of slow down, especially when the ball nears the flippers. Multiball is a slideshow. I can't believe they are charging $10 for these new tables on Gear with no trial to test...

    Why Isn't Farsight Giving Us System 11s Over Premiere?

    I actually do like Gladiators. That might be one case where I wouldn't be upset if they announced it as a table. Stargate is fine, Freddy is fine, Street Fighter 2 kind of sucks but I like SF enough to be okay with it. Those are all licensed properties, though. I really don't want anymore...

    Request Police Force: Love it or leave it?

    Rollergames is a real dark horse. On paper it shouldn't be as fun as it is. Great theme, great flow.
