Here's what I haven't played...
Central Park - forgot to look for it at Expo 2.0
Flight 2000 - saw it at E2.0 but didn't play
Class of 1812 - saw it at PHOF before TPA was a thing, wasn't interested
Victory - other than seeing it in pieces at FarSight, never seen it playable
El Dorado - also...
They can fester a lot of the licenses no problem, just as they did with No Fear. The Rollergames license itself shouldn't be costly at all since there is zero interest in reviving it today.
There seems to be a reversion backwards on the entering of initials. If you try to use the flipper buttons as was normal, it doesn't scroll through the alphabet but acts as if you pushed 'X' on your gamepad. Instead I have to use a mouse to click the arrows on the pop up window. It was like this...
Except for the part where I have actually talked, in person, with a certain FarSight employee, who said he really liked Cue Ball Wizard but had never played EBD. In truth I think it is a combo of the two factors, the WMS license issue and lack of hands on experience with EBD as opposed to CBW.
Well with TotW we never touched season 5, so that partly kept me from playing. I also didn't get that season until 4 or 5 tables in, so that also played a factor. Since that post, I've played F-14 and knocked off all but one wizard, and Fireball I've taken care of all 10. Looking forward to...
I've had the spinning disc to that exact thing for me before, but I can't figure out the timing of the flip to make it happen at will. I'm up to 260,000 points which is good enough to be number 2 among friends and 44 (?) overall. It's funny how you get in that zone, but then suddenly can do a...
So I've spent the last week playing this. It was frustrating the hell out of me, as I couldn't seem to figure out a safe way to play. Then I saw Tarek's score and knew there must be! You guys cracked the nut for me, although my safety rating has only increased from 25% to maybe 50%.
My biggest...
I play on cam 3, just loaded CV because of this thread, and had no issues. Best advice is to use Twitch or something to record you game play and post it so FarSight can see what you mean.
Gottlieb EMs or bust!
Cool music does not make for a good table, although bad music can certainly ruin a good time. There is just no soul in these mid 80's to 90's Gottliebs. They are pinball going through the motions, and it shows on every level. Compare Tee'd Off to No Good Gofers just...
Quite the opposite, as I immediately knew you must have a second table to show off! On a site where 100's of threads get started every few weeks, a little branding is a good thing.
Dude, I got news for you. If the first 5 seasons haven't already clued you in, this is what TPA is. The physics aren't going to suddenly change, and most here would call them a far cry from "terrible". You are essentially asking for the color purple to start looking green. You are entitled to...
Dammit. I had no idea how many tables I was missing goals from until I looked to post here! Even worse, my belief that of the tables I hadn't finished yet I was only missing one goal turned out to be completely false. *sigh* Here's the list of shame...
Attack From Mars - 1 - stupid video...
Pacdude did a fantastic (as usual) build of BBB. To really experience it right though, gotta play it under a black light! Table just glows and is awesome that way.
FlippyFloppy I don't know if it's how the instructions are written or what, but these have got to be some of the most asinine goals ever on top of the table not registering them. It took me 3 or 4 times before the 'collect special' goal registered for me. The 'zero score extra ball' I thought I...
Why do you have to have the special lit too? I swear this is one of the stupider wizard goals FarSight has done. I had the extra ball lit on the right, no energy balls lit, both balls on the left flipper. Aimed the shot, got the extra ball while the other ball hit a drop, still no energy bars...
I've played it a few times and it is fun, but not terribly challenging. Hopefully I can get Norman or Bobby to the guy's open house this summer so they can check it out. Tried last year but timing fell through.
Well, I'm finished.

So this batch of tables...truly some of my least favorite in TPA! And yet I played. I just didn't bother practicing because, least favorite tables. Took me just over an hour to get two games in on all 8, so...
