    Top 3 Showdown: Farsight's Official Pre-1980 Poll

    This is precisely why I jumped in. Everything else you have said, has been said here for quite a while, and has been said in our BlahCade podcast (new episode is in the can!). Like I said, well reasoned critique is perfectly warranted. Jeff Strong merely pointed out that this new poll came from...

    Top 3 Showdown: Farsight's Official Pre-1980 Poll

    I have never heard them mention owning the Atari rights. If those were scooped up by Gottlieb or Stern in a previous deal like Data East and Sega were by Stern, then yes they could do them.

    Top 3 Showdown: Farsight's Official Pre-1980 Poll

    It is fine for you to have criticism of FarSight. You may criticize this forum (though that's a sure way to get the 4700 members to react negatively toward you). You may make all the business suggestions you want, though without knowing the numbers or reasoning, you hardly speak from a place of...

    Top 3 Showdown: Farsight's Official Pre-1980 Poll

    Whoa whoa whoa. FarSight creating a poll on their website? That'd push DX11 even farther back! Truth is, FarSight has always had a good relationship with this unofficial site, and the site benefits from FS sending traffic its way. There have many who came here via Facebook, got hazed, and then...

    Top 3 Showdown: Farsight's Official Pre-1980 Poll

    He'd never sink to our level! Man has pride. Besides, he essentially is the mod of the chat room...in the same way a guy who hangs out at the convenience store everyday becomes a pseudo employee.

    Farsight's Official Pre-1980 Poll

    Nope, I came in fully cooked! As a mod, I've never seen one notification that I need to give the thumbs up so someone can vote. That might be an administrator function, as we do get heads up when a banned IP tries signing up under a different name.

    The Random Thought Thread

    Unless there appears to be a clear unfair advantage between platforms, and since this would all be in the name of fun, I don't see why it'd need to be Steam exclusive.

    The Random Thought Thread

    I realize a lot of people might fall into that camp, but it does make for an interesting wrinkle. Could always make it where you have a group that only plays TPA, only plays Zen, or plays both. That way if there is a table you don't have for on or the other, you could still participate. Like I...

    The Random Thought Thread

    A friend of mine and fellow poster on here, LeRoy3rd are having a friendly little 2 game tourney between ourselves this month. Playing Firepower and Marvel Civil War and have until the end of Jan to post scores. Thinking this might be a fun thing to do in an altered form with a few more people...

    Farsight's Official Pre-1980 Poll

    Bobby thought they had working emulation for those 3, but apparently they weren't stable. We just asked him a few months back in a BlahCade podcast about it, but that's where it stands.

    What have you been playing? (Besides pinball)

    Just wait until he starts watching YouTube videos of Stampylongnose...kid will be building and doing things you had no idea the game could do. Amazing how quickly they absorb Minecraft info.

    Farsight's Official Pre-1980 Poll

    They try to go every other table between DMD and alpha numerics. I LOVE System 11 machines, so I hear what yer sayin'.

    Farsight's Official Pre-1980 Poll

    Starship Troopers was probably part of the block of licenses FarSight negotiated with Sony when they got Dracula. In addition, now that they can do Data East tables, and most of those are licensed, it makes perfect sense. Requested or not (and it has been over the years). Party Zone, The...

    Farsight's Official Pre-1980 Poll

    I do believe he was being sarcastic, especially since there was an earlier response saying polling should be limited to those over 45. There is a learning curve to some of our user's whit and humor. There are no exclusions to any member, new or old. New members are needed and appreciated, as...

    And most coherent with the fewest spelling mistakes. Oh no, Heretic has been hacked! Why, North Korea, why?

    Farsight's Official Pre-1980 Poll

    Time for me to chime in... First off, this is a poll, not a bracket. It is being used to gauge people's interest. It is NOT the sole determiner as to what will actually get made. Don't believe me? Then explain why we have Cue Ball Wizard instead of Eight Ball Deluxe. Second, just because YOU...

    TPA ROM Emulation

    Which is precisely why they should either make this the last playable season on older devices, or create a different app just for these type of tables. At some point they really just need to move forward and quit shooting for the lowest common denominator.

    TPA ROM Emulation

    It is written from scratch, but by someone who did a lot of work in the PinMAME community. This emulation is specific to TPA and does not share with VP.
