That table looks pretty good overall, better than at least 2 of the 3 TSPPs on location near me. So I have to ask if the garage door works well on it? Each of the ones near me have issues with the garage door spring not opening it all the way. It really sucks when the garage is effectively...

Don't forget Pin-Bot, Space Shuttle, Centaur, Elvira, Whirlwind, Diner, HH, BH.. I could probably go on for a while.

Yes, that is true. Its not the most conservative approach if trying to prevent any people from playing the game without paying for it is the primary goal. But realistically getting the game into more people's hands is a good thing for TPA's installment DLC model and making the disc-based...

There are ways it could be done effectively. The original purchaser could get a code for the unlock keys for the download version like spoonman said. They could also do what Capcom did with SSF4 and allow the game to be fully installed from the disc and at that point it would basically be just...

When I play Gorgar I mainly shoot for the drop targets for the same reasons others have stated. One other thing I keep an eye out for is when the spinner is lit, its actually pretty decent value to shoot for the brief time it stays lit. Hmmm.. maybe I'll play some Gorgar today and try to break...

If you're referring to TO its Teed Off. I'm not sure why it doesn't have the little tag like there others yet, but it probably will soon enough.

I like the setup of the right outlane in Indiana Jones Pin Adv. With the post on the side it gives you a chance to save the ball through the gate with a well timed nudge. Even with a wide open lane it still feels fair and makes trips down the outlane kind of fun.

Who needs to post-pass in Zen when you can easily slam/nudge-pass from cradle to cradle? Take advantage of the pinball super-powers they give you, its far less risky than trying a post-pass with the exaggerated physics. The slam/nudge-pass is not a thing in the real world (because of tilting)...

No, its completely relevant. It seems like FS only relates portrait orientation as being necessary only for a cabinet build, so they don't place any value on implementing on platforms that wouldn't be used for cabinet builds. That's why you won't see portrait on the consoles (at least not...

People on Pinside seem to really be chomping at the bit for Iron Maiden. I was honestly a little surprised how many people supported the idea. They fit the target audience of middle-aged men I guess. I like Iron Maiden and all, but they wouldn't be my first choice for a pin theme either. If...

You should go stand in front of a 4K tv for a little while. Frame rate is very important but resolution is far from overrated. Edit: Before I confuse anyone, I'm not saying PS4 supports 4K.

That seems like a cool idea, it will be interesting to see which tables the most people are playing week by week. I bet MM and AFM will do the best on a regular basis out of the DLC tables.

Annoying? No way. I love the mini playfields below the table.

That's a pretty easy mistake to make though since Gottlieb did make an EM version of El Dorado with the same layout. To be honest, I kind of like the simpler look of the EM version better in some ways.. This literally made me lol, well played.

I was about to point out the same thing. So we should expect 18-20 tables per season going forward, with 19 being most likely, based on the number of single premium tables included. That's why I have to think season 3 is going to be pretty good. Take any 18 of those tables from the OP along...

Sure, there are lots of sales transactions in January based on returns, gift cards/cash gifts, and people waiting for post-holiday sales. But if you wait until Spring you miss out on all of that. Also, don't mistake the average adult gamer as being the target of the holiday release. Those...

They work the same way that XBL trophies work of course.. :p Sorry, couldn't help myself. I do agree with the basic premise of your post though. There really only needs to be one trophy/achievement for each table for completing the wizard goals. If they want to have a few easy...

I consider BH and HH fairly equivalent, and they both have really good theme integration. HH has the upper playfield level and BH has multiball, otherwise both have similar classic gameplay. I think they're both excellent examples from the numeric SS era.

What, you don't think parents would buy the $400 consoles to put in their kids' Easter baskets? :p Early 2014 is when I'm aiming for actually getting one anyway. I think I'll buy a real pinball machine first, now that I have a house to put it in.

I got to play a brand new Star Trek Pro on location for about an hour and a half tonight. It was pretty good overall, it played well and looked really good but didn't really feel like it immersed you in the Star Trek theme very well (not like STTNG anyway). The shots were set up nicely though...
