okay, that "theatre of magic" jab rankled me! just because i had to make a hard decision over it (over "arabian nights"), as far as what i really like to play in TPA recently, down to a "top five" arrangement. sometime i'll have to mess around some with the big ratings thread and try that, but...

Real men don't wait for sales!

yes, i very much hope they keep going! there's a helluva lot more tables out there to go. they should have a poster on the wall of the blues bros with the quote "we're on a mission from god." :D

yeah! hey there'd have to be two; "berwyn mb" would be just two balls and have to make the target for two "drive-thru diner" prizes, "chili dogs" and "cheese fries," then have to get to the drive-in theater target by showtime. then there's be "cerwyn mb" that would have five balls or even more...

alirght! there should be a "svengoolie" table!

aren't stern tables a bit steeper in general? most of their tables seem to be more pachinkoish than the other manus.

awright! i only noticed the iOS tourney just on the last day, but i prefer playing on ps3 anyways, so really glad that this one followed up shortly after the other. maybe i'll have a chance at the bronze; i did some of my best games so far on a few tables (goin' nuts, even), so last i saw i was...

i dig it! if the flat display tech was there in the ninties, i can picture those on a shelf as dedicated pinball machine toys. i would've wanted one. along these lines, does anyone use those little stick-on mini joysticks i see sold around/on amazon to play tpa? i've wondered if those would...

nah, i bet it would be dracula - seems like there must be five tables or so in TBA already that he's on. (he's even in "taxi", for cryin' out loud!)

had only had a little time so far to try each game one round; although some gameplay table-to-table seems a mixed bag, i'd say it's the best sw set yet! if only maybe this time, it's "two really good ones; two okay ones", instead of "one really good one; two okay ones". a lot of nice artistic...

heh! only drinking game i've ever come up with is to the movie "twister". (that'd be a great one if that guy who built his own "bill paxton pinball" made the bumpers sample all the different times he says "sonuvab*!" during the flick). though there was an actual "twister" table, i guess...

zombie alladin, yeah very agreed about mode lockout - although i'm torn about whether i like the "six-scene" modes, say of the SW tables and other movie-like ones in the same vein. it's simulataneously a "good and bad" idea for a movie board; you want to guide the player a bit to progress...

awesome! gotta go try them in a bit... p.s. how's that for timing, with the assemblage of the "SW7" cast in london pics today? i admit to being an old stodgy now about it; was grousing about what it might be like at work earlier today. but thinking about what others have said now, "well - it IS...

awesome info, thanks! i guessed there were probably different scoreboards/etc going on... pretty inconsequential to me; i just like playing em. looking forward to the new sw set!

when can we expect - or at least hope for - release of hs and whodunnit to ps3? eagerly awaiting awesomeness... can play 'em on my ipod, sure, but it's so damn small, and cramps my hands.

this might be as good a place as any to ask - on a PS3, is there any reason to keep both apps - "Zen Pinball 2" and "Star Wars Pinball"? looks like the same set of sw tables in both.

i figure that in the tech world, there aren't too many mysteries/urban legends, so it made for an interesting-enough story. especially for a saturday. (also consider that, as far as i've ever heard, no one from old atari corporate will fess up to signing off the deed.) now if someone owned up to...

i tried out the demo table on a 2010 iPod Touch - my main iOS device. seems sluggish in comparison to TPA (which has its own sluggishness when replaying a table after just completing a game - something about saving high scores with the iOS game center maybe? some central saving going on...

no doubt there's something entirely "OFF" about zen tables, to real-life table players... to the holographic effects, to the anti-gravity (and not just simply magnetic) ball-grabbin' effects, to the the completely nano-pre-techian way of manipulating table elements/effects/ball dropoffs...
