    To all that order, please don’t forget to post video or photo as well as your thoughts on the end result. That will greatly help anyone that is in the fence about it.

    I hadn’t thought of that but you are probably correct.

    Columbia/Sony license - is a new deal possible?

    If Zen did it, I could totally imagine a 5 ball multiball where one of the balls is ‘infected’ and it drains your score rather than adding to it. The longer it’s in play, the more severe the point loss becomes (pray it doesn’t go into pop bumpers!) You wouldn’t lose balls until you figure out...

    Arcooda licensed and hired FarSight to write code for their cabinet. Arcooda is a hardware company. They have been testing the software themselves, giving feedback, and having FarSight make appropriate corrections. To answer your question, this is code written specifically for Arcooda, not...

    WMS table preservation KickStarter

    This isn't some TV show you can do a write in campaign for to get it un-cancelled. Kickstarter, GoFundMe, none of that is going to matter. FarSight was not even given the opportunity to put in an offer, so just stop already.

    Columbia/Sony license - is a new deal possible?

    Only table I can think of at that time was Krull, which never even got released. I think Empire Strikes Back had a table, or did that come long after? Man, when you think of all the sci-fi and fantasy movies released in '82 and '83, some seriously cool licenses could have been applied. I still...

    WMS License - Speculation Thread

    You are not wrong either. FarSight has a long history of saying "we'd like to" which often does not translate to "we will". The only revenue to be gained is in future sales, but many might no longer make those purchases if they see support dropped from these older tables. FarSight needs to do...

    What he said. It is within their rights to maintain and keep the tables running and performing however FarSight wishes. So keep on them, keep asking for what table they are updating next, tell them how much it would mean to you and your continued support of purchasing future tables if they...

    Hey, I’m just glad to see Gold backers coming on here and saying “do whatever you gotta do to let people have it”, because that was what prevented FarSight from offering it before; customer backlash.

    WMS License - Speculation Thread

    There was a very vocal segment during the Kickstarter and after, when people were asking if Gold would eventually be made available, that didn’t think that was cool in the least. They felt for the price they were paying, why should “freeloading non backers” benefit? A year after, that sentiment...

    Columbia/Sony license - is a new deal possible?

    I've played it. It's painfully dull.

    Columbia/Sony license - is a new deal possible?

    Because have you played E.T. in FX3? Fast speedy pinball and slow as molasses alien just don't fit well together. I mean they did a good job and all, but my brain still doesn't like it.

    Ah, they posted the vid early! As you can see, the table always looks like an actual table rather than having forced camera angle changes depending on activity. Also, if you wanted to see the subtle graphic enhancements, look no further than the bookcase on TAF. There's actual shadowing and...

    Arcooda questions

    Well from what Arcooda has recently said, the super expensive model is their steel cabinet model. They have 2 Chinese companies and one in the US that I believe are going to make 'timber' cabinets. Those will be significantly less expensive. Other price factors you have to consider are what size...

    None of the Stern tables are included, no Sorcerer, no Banzai Run. Beyond that, I don’t know.

    WMS License - Speculation Thread

    I'm sure those kickstarter supporters would still get pissy about it being made available to non kick supporters. *rolls eyes* They were very vocal about not wanting to share their toys.

    Honestly, TPA has gotten a few of us to purchase machines. Digital pinball, whether it was Visual Pinball, playing Zen, PHOF, or TPA, kept pinball in the forefront of my mind. The monthly releases of TPA just kept fueling the nostalgia fire, making me desperate to find pinball in the wild. Once...

    Arcooda questions

    Well there’s two $499 options; one for an actual Arcooda cabinet and one for any other cabinet. That includes DIY. At purchase you’ll have to pick between a 2 or 3 monitor setup. Yes, if runs off a PC. The software allows you to play in cabinet view, with DMD and animated backglass on their own...
