    Table Pack #50 Speculation Thread

    #50 is probably going to be TX-Sector. I wonder if they're holding off A.G.Soccer indefinitely for technical issues? To kick off S6, I'll take The Shadow, please - but that speculation belongs in its own thread :D

    Table of the Week Club...Week 59: JUNKYARD

    From the Bus I think. But can you get it more than once? Can you only get it from the Bus if you've not got the Cuckoo Clock yet? If you get it from the Bus, does it spot the Cuckoo Clock?

    Table of the Week Club...Week 59: JUNKYARD

    Time Machine is activated by collecting the Cuckoo Clock. Hence it can only happen once. And you're right, once you've gone to space once JY gets very boring very quickly. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    Table of the Week Club...Week 58: JACK*BOT

    I've found that from a right flipper trap, missing the Game Saucer to the left and hitting the post between the saucer lane and the ramp is a 100% insta-drain down the right outlane. Time to practice that backhand. One nice railroad I found was the green(?) (second-from-right) Keno arrow/visor...

    Table of the Week Club...Week 58: JACK*BOT

    I was playing a lot of Jack*Bot yesterday. Both on my PC and on my (Android) tablet. I got a new high score on the PC (36B, up a touch from my previous of 35B), but got nowhere on my tablet. I think, maybe, I've figured out why. For some reason, I find it next to impossible to make the Game...

    Table of the Week Club...Week 58: JACK*BOT

    It think it's the confidence I have in being able to judge where the kickout is going, and nudge accordingly. I'm still not comfortable nudging on my tablet.

    Table of the Week Club...Week 58: JACK*BOT

    I don't know if it was just the game messing with me yesterday, but I seemed to get more insta-drains from the jets and from the Game Saucer on my tablet than I do on my PC. Is short-plunging worth it to avoid the jets? I can't remember if it even works. I always go for the skill shot anyway...

    Farsight's missed opportunities and possible explosion going forward

    Because, to put it bluntly, they don't have the staff to do that, and attracting the level and quality of staff to go live up a mountain in a small town is extremely difficult. Given Jay's political ties to the local community, they're not going to move either.

    Pro Pinball

    I'm going to hazard a guess that once all the low view renderings are done, there'll be an update. Seems like a good milestone to hit.

    Table Pack #49 Speculation Thread

    DE's Tommy is based directly off of the Tommy stage show (which is where the versions of the songs in the table come from). Clearly The Who get writing credits for all the songs but the performing credits, artwork, etc. are all from a much cheaper source. Still, songs don't come cheap, and as...

    Graphical Updates For Season 1 & 2 Tables?

    Zen are not deconstructing a physical pinball table, taking hi-res photographs of every part from several angles, recording every possible sound that can come out of the speakers, plugging the individual table's ROM into their emulation, writing triggers for events and sounds, testing and...

    Table Pack #49 Speculation Thread

    Okay I'll admit I'd forgotten totally about Tommy, yeah, that's probably as good as any DE there ever was. JP just has a greater nostalgia factor attached, though. I played a bit of Rocky & Bullwinkle but never had much of a chance to get into it. It was fine for what it was though. Same for...

    If you can play a 20-minute game of Safecracker, you deserve to win, I think.

    First impressions...

    Sure, bonus is a nice way to score big points but don't make it your focus. The max is 96Mx5 = 480M, and you get that for every shot in Wild Fire and of course when you drain. But it takes a long time to build up unless you get lucky. One situation you will often come across (well I do... not...

    Pinball Arcade with Direct X 11 on PC runs super slow...

    TPA is very GPU-intensive. It has very large textures (typically 2 2048x2048 textures per table) as well as a lot of close-up high-detail objects that need to be in view at all times. Plus a lot of z-plane rendering fun. An integrated GPU just isn't going to cut it. Your HD 4600 is way down...

    The top-left hole counts as an ER shot normally, so in theory it should collect a jackpot.

    New Features Poll

    There's a missing "feature" - "Should be available to download and play, forget anything else!!"

    TPA Theme Variety - What's Missing?

    Not enough motor racing games, we only have Victory!! (I don't count HS/HS2, those are car chases, not racing ;) ) How about Corvette (my #1 choice), Indy 500, NASCAR/Grand Prix (same table, different skins depending on North America or outside North America), Checkpoint, to name but a few.
