The trick to avoid #1 is to nudge before the ball ever gets close to the top of the sling (nudge to side so the ball moves towards the center, away from the outlane...do 2 nudges in a row if you need too). If you wait till it hits the top of the sling, your chances of saving it are much less...

What are your hardware specs?

Go to "My Tables".

Only the early EMs were "just bumpers and flippers". There's some really great late 70’s stuff.

The Northwest part of WI is pretty cool, but you can skip the rest. As for Michigan, definitely check out the Lake Superior coastline if you get up to the Upper Peninsula. The northern part of the Lower Peninsula is cool, but not much to see in the southern part of Michigan. Lake Michigan isn't...

They posted this on FB earlier today https://www.facebook.com/pinballarcade/posts/664924293528634 I know a lot of folks were wondering about this, so it's good news. :)

The thing about the 70’s: there were pinball machines EVERYWHERE. Every bar, restaurant, etc. had at least a couple. Arcades on the other hand were stocked with pins, and by stocked I mean rows of pinball machines as far as the eye could see. The 90’s: a high for pinball in terms of complexity...

Sean is right. Even light nudges in TPA move the ball quite a bit, so the full-strength nudges are really violent.

Points. The game times run too long as is. There are too many extra balls already.

Yeah give it a try, I think you'll like it. You don't need the mouse buttons within the game itself since you can navigate everything with the controller, so you can set Auto Hotkey to only switch the buttons when certain games are running. Either that or simply start the script before you play...

I often wonder about this too. The cabinet height and angle also varies based on the era and manufacturer, but they should be able to copy/paste the camera values from one similar pin to another.

No, but at least it's turned into an interesting and helpful discussion. :)

This one is handy as well: http://www.pinballrebel.com/locator/locationsearchform.php

Agreed! And I think you're right about the part digital pinball has played in the revival. The Emporioum just built a whole new expansion room, so you should definitely revisit.

Check out The Emporium too. They have a stable of pins and a ton of classic arcade games. But yeah, compared to most towns across the country, Chicago is stacked in the pinball department. A lot of people would be thrilled to have a place in their town that had 5 machines, but Chicago has...

I have the Tankstick too. There is actually a very good nudge solution: there are 4 total pinball buttons on the Tankstick, two on each side. So what you need to do is set the other two buttons as your left and right nudge. Since those buttons are normally set to left and right mouse clicks...

heh, I'm just trying to lend a hand as it seems brakel isn't aware of the goldmine of pins in the windy city.

ahem... http://pinballmap.com/chicago :)

The move "Used Cars" from 1980 has a few in the bar and bowling alley scenes. That's back when there were pins everywhere. People were so lucky then...
