    I would love to try a hyperpin cab like this in person one day, to see if it would be worth it to me to build one of my own. The ones they sell on the site you linked look awesome, just not sure about $7000 worth of awesome. :) Wish there was a store somewhere near me (in MD) with a showroom...

    Now Hiring

    I'm in the same boat. I just finished up my BFA in 3D modeling/Animation and would eat this job up if it weren't 3000 miles away from me.

    Round 3: Vote on Your Questions for Bobby King (Pick 5)

    I voted for the question regarding PC info because it's my #1 area of interest regarding TPA right now. I don't own TPA yet because I'm waiting for the PC release, which I hope will greatly simplify the DLC process by doing away with certification, and have the longest staying power of all the...

    Hey there... I worked in a Dave & Busters for about 3 weeks once, no pinball repair but plenty of those ticket games were always falling apart. I can't even imagine repairing real pinball machines... Anyway, I recommend you wait until the fall to visit the pinball museum, they have an entire...

    Building a custom Pinball Controller

    For the Xbox 360, the controllers are signed so that you have to use authentic/official/authorized controllers with it. Not sure if the PS3 is the same way, but you might have to sacrifice an actual PS3 controller and wire your buttons to its guts to make it work. You could always try a...

    What about Big Bang Bar?

    I played this at the Pinball Museum in Baltimore. It wasn't on freeplay though, like the others - so I only played it once and pretty much lost all of my balls right away. Looks great though! I hope one day it might be possible on TPA.

    Wizard Goals on Williams Collection: Pinball Hall of Fame

    I finally did it tonight myself, too! Believe it or not, I got it by spelling HAREM somehow. What a pain in the butt... Working on the Wizard goals for all tables now. Just one more for Funhouse (the 3 million plus one), TOTAN (just save the princess left) and two more on several of the...

    Alien Crush and other early video pinball games

    I see! That cheesy dialogue seems like it could get old fast, yeah. But I think it will be fairly amusing at first. Maybe there's an option to turn it off or adjust the volume? And the Saturn is a great system to import for, probably my second most imported console next to TG16/PCE. So many...

    In what order would you like to see the PHOF tables released?

    It's funny how similar these all are so far. Poor Space Shuttle! Not saying I disagree... No Good Gofers and WW are at the top of my list from these. I'd like to play more new tables though!

    Alien Crush and other early video pinball games

    It's cool guys, my post probably could have been worded more clearly. It's a mystery though! I'm of a similar mind that it might exist for a Japanese computer - MSX, sharp x68k, pc9801? Google, she does nothing! And Brian, I checked out the other Kaze games on SNES - they seem a little on...

    Visited the National Pinball Museum in Baltimore today

    They've got a pretty nice setup! I got to play a lot of the machines that I noticed were favorites on this board for the first time - Earthshaker, Big Bang Bar, Safecracker, ST:TNG, they have a nice selection. I went with my girlfriend and two of our friends, and we all had a blast, thought...

    Alien Crush and other early video pinball games

    I've went back and played both Alien Crush and Devil's Crush, and I like them both, but I seem to be in the minority that Alien Crush is a tighter game all around. Anyone played Time Cruise? I'm interested in this one because it's actually Time Cruise II in Japan - and I can find NOTHING at...

    Alien Crush and other early video pinball games

    Woah, this one completely slipped under my radar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQrUVLj_HiQ Necronomicon for the Sega Saturn (J only) - Man, listen to that awesome 80's power metal for the multiball! Edit: The reason the music is awesome is because it's supplied by Dream Theater guitarist...

    Wizard Goals on Williams Collection: Pinball Hall of Fame

    I've had the game since 2009 but I hadn't gotten many of the achievements yet. Yesterday and today I've been on a roll and wrapped up most of the standard table goals except for Whirlwind's light the 100k spot, Harem Multiball in TOTAN, and I haven't really started on Funhouse yet. But I got...

    Alien Crush and other early video pinball games

    I was a big C64 head (and still am) but we never had the Amiga - and I recently found out about Pinball Fantasies - definitely on my list of games to try soon, looks great! Another one I kinda knew about but didn't appreciate pinball then as much as I do now is Revenge of the Gator for the...

    Alien Crush and other early video pinball games

    I was very young when the Atari 2600 was out, but Video Pinball for it was also my introduction to pinball, and I agree a strange one! Never did play Midnight Magic. Tempest 2K is a great game! and one of the only good ones for the Jag. :) I'm also a PC Engine / TG-16 collector (and PC-FX...

    Untapped movie/tv pinball tables

    I loved this show! Maybe they could have a special white ball like the gumball/powerball from Twilight Zone to represent it. I literally laughed out loud at this. Carl needs to be tied down or something.

    Alien Crush and other early video pinball games

    Alien Crush is probably what truly got me into pinball, and to this day I think it's one of the best video game only tables out there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elD3h579d_Q&feature=related I spent hours playing it as a kid. Under the right circumstances your ball would be swallowed and...

    Latest NEWS And INFORMATION On FarSight Studios' The Pinball Arcade

    I'm also eagerly anticipating the PC version. I would buy the 360/PS3 version, but I'm sure I'll be kicking myself later when the PC version is out and with all the DLC tables day 1 while the consoles are still dragging along the certification process. Plus they hinted they might do pincab...

    Request Most Wanted Steve Ritchie Tables - Pick Five

    I just had a pretty good run on Firepower last night on the Williams PHOF collection. I was only going for the normal table goals but I had a really good game in the process. I have to admit, I didn't really like FP all that much at first, but I think I "get" it now. At first it seemed really...
