    Apple Delay Frustration (Derailed by Driveway Cheese after Post # 81)

    :) That's just a 20 dollar bill, I'm only coming for it if it's a 100 at least....then I can buy three season passes at once!

    VP - Monster Bash Update

    Apart from the silly thread name: wow! I haven't played VP for a while now, after playing it very seriously for a couple of years. I know there is a Unity 3D version in the works, but who needs that when tables look like this? There is no VP/FP discussion here, and no VP/TPA either. More pinball...

    Apple Delay Frustration (Derailed by Driveway Cheese after Post # 81)

    This may not be a popular thing to say (and this comes from a enthusiastic Season 3 Pass holder): but when you look at it from Apple's perspective, it kind of makes sense not to be very happy with prepaid content, even if they did allow it earlier/elsewhere, or even if they led Farsight falsely...

    Bug Strange multiball sequence?

    It happens a lot, about every other game (iPad 2, iOS 6). It looks like a ball that got fed to the lock "spool" bounces back on the rail, then the game does a ball search with the spool and launches anything that it comes across. It's actually not a real multiball because you can lock a ball...

    Black Rose Screenshots

    Nice addition to the line-up! I played this one in the '90s alongside greats like Indy '93, Star Wars, and Twilight Zone. Then the table never clicked for me, but I also didn't "get" the Twilight Zone at first (it was not a familiar theme in Holland at that time, not for me anyways), so I'm...

    GAME CENTER (Centre) IDs

    For months now I'm looking at "moo" at the top of the gamecenter leaderboards with 30.000 points and some change, and then out of nowhere there now today appears a snoop_killah at the top with an incredible 34.000. Now I know it's a lot of hard work to get in the 20.000 point region, and I never...

    A Little Late to the Party

    This is a bit like discovering a great new TV series by word of mouth, and then discovering that there are 8 seasons already out... :-) welcome to the fold!

    Fish tales aviable on iOS

    I think FS is spot on with this recreation. I played an IRL Fish Tales recently and it kicked my behind thoroughly. With the TPA version being more predictable, I can get higher scores but the overall feel and even some specific plays feels the same! If you check out Bowen Kerrins PAPA tutorial...

    1st Fish Finder always "lite extra ball"?

    +1 That's gonna be one hell of an TPA table then, because the last time I played the real one, it handed me my @ss back on a silver plate. I got the impression that nothing short of precise play will lead to lengthy affairs, because wild balls were draining like flies that're droppin'. It also...

    Any hope some high (hacker's) scores will be erased?

    The top scorer on the HOF leaderboard (iOS) has been "MOO" now for some time with a crazy but certainly feasible 30.000+ points. A few weeks ago out of nowhere there were 3 people in front of him starting with 15.000.000 and some other ridiculous scores. These are certainly fake or misplaced...

    Season 3: Who Dunnit, Junk Yard and BK2K confirmed!

    Well, let me try :) It's a stupid, irritating, infantile theme with corresponding irritating music, speech and sound effects. The basic ruleset is boring and although I must conceed that the Mix-Master is a nice toy on the table, that does not make up for the rest. The artwork is ugly. There are...

    How do YOU use the nudge?

    I use predominantly right/left touch nudging on my iPad, by stretching my index finger upwards the nudge area while keeping my thumb on the flipper. I use central nudging more inadvertently when my flipper thumb creeps to the middle of the screen because of an impending STDM drain (as if I...

    Tips n Strats: You Shore Need That Ramp Shot

    Good post, not only helpful but fun to read! I dislike this formula: one-trick pony table and very high HoF requirements means tedious and overlong games. Getting the half-billion will be a nice challenge though Slam23

    Cue Ball Wizard - first impressions / tips and stretegies?

    +1 And then combine double with pool mania, you can quite nicely rack up some points. HOF requirements are quite steep, psumably to offset the (half) billion shots. They are quite hard to get I think. Nice table though, the cue ball thing is an original gimmick. On the VP table it could get...

    Definitive explanation of the leaderboards?

    Hi guys, I just joined the PC crowd while still playing predominantly on iOS. I was suprised to find that the PC TPA doesn't have a seperate leaderboard and that made me wonder about how it is all organised at this moment. After searching through some threads I think it is like this: - Via...

    I hate Stern

    From what I know the plan with WOZ is to update the software to the point that there is more integration between the LCD information and the playfield, primarily by using GI lighting to point the player towards goals and such. I'm also a fan of tables that provide me with playfield clues as what...

    I hate Stern

    A few months ago I played Stern's Metallica and WOZ besides each other, and came away impressed by the solid feel of WOZ and disappointed by the "cheaper" feel of Metallica in comparison. That said, when I recently got the chance to play some other recent Sterns like Star Trek, Tron and AC/DC, I...

    Teach me how to nudge properly (ipad)

    I used shake in the beginning on iOS but it produced too much tilts accidentally. I sometimes try to nudge by stretching my index finger upwards while still holding my thumb on the flipper area (I have quite big hands), or make a little jump motion with the same "gesture", this enables me to...

    New website: Pinball Arcade Players now live.

    Have you been climbing the leaderboards also in the mean time? With all that knowledge, you probably have a nice advantage!
