    Lord of the Rings

    I have played it a lot on VP (I believe I still hold the FS record on a slightly earlier JP build with around 1.5B), and I would kickstart that table in a heartbeat. I find it one of the best tables when you're into deep rulesets (only the Simpson's Pinball Party is rumored to have a more...

    First Wizard of Oz

    I played it recently at the DPA clubhouse where the distributor set it up to promote it. Although the license still doesn't stand out to me (in Holland it's definitely known but not a "classic" thing). It played really good. You can feel the quality right away, sturdy yet smooth. It also plays...

    Insanity Falls to RIVER targets

    Yup, slow balls. This happens when balls have some ricochets when they enter the ramp for example. Then they don't have the momentum to clear the last 'hill' on that ramp Slam23

    What are your top 5 high scores on AFM?

    I was just playing a round for fun when I got into a flow (actually sitting down on the toilet of all places! :-) ). One hour later I almost tripled my best game and reached 141B. Just my luck that the leaderboard update is down. But it did count towards 1000 HOF points, catapulting me over 14K...

    Bug High Score/Leaderboard

    Same here for both things (iOS). Also the same Farsight leaderboard not updating for Champion Pub. Yesterday I had a 7000+ game on Central Park, that hasn't been updated yet also on the leaderboards come to think of it.

    First impression

    I haven't seen a real CP yet so I can't compare, but the TPA version feels somewhat cluttered and flat. I'll have to experiment with camera view to see if that helps. Interesting table and original features though, Slam23

    Replay Not Awarding Extra Ball

    I'm don't have a preference either way (although I do like to be rewarded in some way), but I would have liked some explanation because of the expectation that it would give an extra ball. Is it in the rules (have read half of them)? Slam23

    First impression

    I played a couple of games and I do like the flow and timed shots. I don't know the real machine so I can't compare. It's rulesheet is fairly simple but managing the multiball should be satisfying once I get some more control. The only thing that I did encounter that I wasn't sure was a bug or...

    farsite vp and fp

    As a long time VP user I was a bit shocked to find out that this is actually an ongoing topic, I wouldn't have seen this coming myself (probably a bit naieve). I do hope that sane heads prevail and farsight recognizes the substantial overlap between TPA and VP/FP users and the risk to alienate...

    ST:TNG Tactics and Strategies

    Well, the Delta shot has it merits when it directly scores a Super Jackpot during multiball, just keep an eye on balls that return from the bumper area and feed the right loop.

    ST:TNG Tactics and Strategies

    Congrats Pez! Even with this incremental strategy it must have taken some time to get to 34B. I employ the same strategy and got to 16B. One of the key things to do I think is avoid Warp 5, because that will hold your bonus multipliers and prevents you getting the extra ball again from the same...

    Terminator 2 kickstarter to start in 2Q of 2013

    I'm a bit torn between 2 things: on the one hand T2 has nostalgic value for me because it's one of the tables I got to play for a while back in the '90s. On the other hand, it's clearly a step back from the deeper TZ and STTNG rulesets. I do hope it's done right, this table success wil depend on...

    Alley Passing (Shatzing the Inlane) on Pin*Bot

    Thanks for sharing this, I didn't know where that particular term came from. I am also getting my inlane passing up to speed on this table. It requires some skill and a lot of cojones to flip that late. A bit too early and you drain down the middle because of a ricochet from the slingshot...

    3 categories of pinheads

    For me it's mostly 1 (before TPA strictly VP on the PC, now 90% TPA on iOS and little bit of Zen/VP on the side). I "did" 2 a lot in my college days way back in the 90's, in hindsight I was probably fortunate to discover pins at the peak of the early-middle DMD area. Nowadays there's not a lot...

    265,170

    Thanks JefferyD, but as usual the setting for this heroic game was kind of mundane, sitting next to my girlfriend who was watching the A-team movie. At my whooping and hollering she just rolls her eyes and comments: "having a good game honey? I'm kind of trying to watch a film over here" :) So I...

    265,170

    349.910! Heck of a game in which i not only broke 250.000 but also got the elusive 42.000 bonus wizard goal, finished them all now. Previous best score of 204.600. I started out with a 92.000 1st ball and offcourse an EB. Repeated close to that on my 3rd ball. Got the shakes on ball 4 with a...

    HOF points: what tables (if any) have you got 1000 points on?

    I'm at 11.403 total HOF points, currently spot 19 on the Farsight leaderboard and #17 on Gamecenter. I have 3 tables at 1000 points: - Black Hole - Black Knight - Creature from the Black Lagoon And yes, black also is my favorite color! :-) I have some 3 tables around 750-800 points. There are...

    Side by side comparison with a real table (part 2)

    @Pezpunk: good point, I'll check those out at my next visit. I must say I was somewhat surprised by the relatively mellow outlanes myself, especially after hearing/reading the horror stories :)
