They are broken since the release of SST. Once in a while a new release messes up old tables. I think that happens because the newly released table needs some new functionality in the core app which then has to be updated with the table release, which then in turn messes up other tables that use...

I have heard of that possibility, nice feature! Didn't know it was used often. I know my machine has the right "thingie" for being connected (that's how far my technical insight stretches.... :) ) Would be fun to try that one time. Actually the game I have was besides another one at the DPO, but...

Squid: Just be careful of a potential rollover issue if you score 1000B on Attack from Mars (which is what is needed to pass the top scores). Don't know how Star trek or MB handle that. Just finding the time and the stamina to go that distance on those tables is impressive in itself.... :) Good...

Well I can finally join this club now: NBA Fastbreak (Bally 1997) Lord of the Rings (Stern 2003) LOTR is coming in a couple of weeks, NBA is in the house. I never thought I would own tables, but when I played at last year's Dutch Pinball Open, I came across this nice NBA fastbreak. Making a...

Nice find Nat: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=984 Seems to be a conversion kit for the original Flight 2000 and maybe other tables brought on the market by Gary Stern, when Stern (the firm) went out of business. Nice also to read that Data East went into pinball by acquiring assets of the...

Congrats, that's what you call an upgrade to your last best! Any particular good stuff to mention from this game? Like getting 3 extra balls from video mode alone? And did you get Strobe MB more than once? I think it's only once per game but I am not sure about it. JefferyD: table burnout...

Come on Reagan! If you can reliably hit the blastoff lane and right spinner, you're essentially in the race! The rest is ball control and flipper/deadpassing are your friends.

Hi Loafer, I don't think it's so bad over here. As a vpforums.com veteran I know an ascerbic environment when I see one. Facebook is a whole other ballgame though, so I'm not going there either. I have only two issues with Farsight: foremost their lack of communication and secondly some issues...

Never mind, found the tips & tricks thread and found something for the "O"; VikingErik describes it midway through the thread and it's reproducible on iOS. This should help to up those scores again. Also it seems that you can get 4 EB's and stack 'm all if I have to believe the OP...

Can confirm this works on iOS too, nice find Viking! I had some succes with shooting the left post of the drop target lane from the left flipper with a ricochet in the "O"-lane (keep that right flipper up to prevent a quick drain!) but I can't reproduce it dependently and misses get wild...

Upped my best from 4.3M to 7.5M on my second game, and with a 5M in between no spectacular games after that. I'm having trouble with the "O" inlane rollover. I can't find any way to shoot for it directly yet so I have to wait for it to happen randomly. I'm looking for safe and reproducible...

I think you get a freebie evertime. Just as you can't use more than one in one video mode session, even if you got more.

That's dedication! ;) I had this problem on my old iPad 2. I thought maybe I had to clean it moreoften in between playing because maybe leaving those spots they get "corrosive" or something?

Am I the only one who thinks that right ramp isn't that bad? It's only from a capture on the left flipper that it is really hard. My favorite playing style on AFM is flow and that combines nicely with shooting rolling balls from the left flipper. Locks and left ramps return balls on a good speed...

I've seen video mode more than twice, but strobe MB just once per game. Never got an extra ball directly from Stroke of Luck, nor normal MB later in the game. I didn't know there was a relationship between video mode being selected after Super Jets.

That actually sounds promising, nice analysis on the license side of things! I think the scoring system although maybe being a small innovative thing could still warrant inclusion into TPA. Also the ball passing holes around the basket area is someting I haven't seen before but that may have...

:) thanks for the compliment!

From the reactions I gather it's not a very special table that warrants inclusion on it's own merits. Would still like to play it sometimes just out of curiosity.

Hi guys, While perusing my favorite pin sites, I stumbled upon a machine I didn't know existed: Firepower II! Did anyone play that machine? Would it be a good inclusion for TPA? I like the original Firepower, it's ruthless left outlane and the frenetic and often fast-ending MB. With High Speed...

There is a fairly modern pinball that kind of uses single points for scoring and that is NBA Fastbreak. Although it also has the option to activate the usual scoring that goes up in the millions, the fun with the single point scoring is offcourse the idea that you score baskets. A good game...
