That would be nice, but I doubt that I would want to leave the machine on 24/7 and use all that electricity if nobody was going to be playing it. I suppose I could just shut the screens down and have the PC in low power mode. I'll have to figure all that out when I actually do the build...
Bummer, hopefully they could add some code to have these things persist so when you start up the application you wouldn't have to set them all for each machine and so that the secondary scores would save.
1) Star Wars [Data East 1992]
2) Cyclone [Williams 1988]
3) Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure [Williams 1993]
4) The Lord of the Rings [Stern 2003]
5) Doctor Who [Bally 1992]
So do the secondary score lists and settings changes like turning family mode or auto-percentaging on persist even after the application is exited? If so that would be amazing for when they (hopefully) implement cabinet mode in the future.
Just curious, what didn't you like about it? I think that it uses the theme really well, with good use of the actor's voices, has some fun modes, an interesting timing based skill shot (that uses that handle with the button which is also used in a few other modes) and great flow overall.
I'm surprised to see the Data East Star Wars table left off of so many lists. This is one of my all-time favorite tables, and the theme is put to such great use. The shot to blow up the Death Star in multiball is an amazing pinball moment - it's fun every time. And although the ramp is such a...
Welcome! Thanks for being one of the 45 that grabbed the beta testing tier and helped make T2 happen. Hope you all get the opportunity to make TPA even better!
As someone who has participated in many real-world software projects I can say this is absolutely true. Just makes it all the more amazing to realize hoe much Farsight has been able to accomplish with such a small team.
Thanks Sotie. I've read through the virtual pinball forum there and it definitely has some good stuff (some of the build threads are good), but the thread on hardware hasn't been updated since 2009. Am I missing more in-depth stuff there? Maybe I just have to dig a little bit more.
I would take an announcement that they've finally cleared all the legal issues and have a ballpark release date. Then we would FINALLY know that things are moving in the right direction.
Well hmmm. That'll make it pretty tough for the friends of mine I've been trying to convince to try out the game. Can anyone from Farsight chime in on what's up?
I've been seriously considering building a cabinet myself. I've been keeping an eye out for good deals on graphics cards, TVs etc. I've built PCs, but it was a LONG time ago, so I've been doing some research on what parts are good nowadays. I've looked around on different forums (vpin...
Indy is way up on my list too. I've read others here talking about how it will be tough to get this or any Disney controlled licenses. Does anyone know why that is? Are they notoriously hard to work with? I mean you see all the merchandise for a lot of their properties, so I'm wondering why...
Yeah, that's the shame of the whole 360 publishing fiasco. As of right now, it seems as if the 360 version is the one to play, but that's all torpedoed by the fact that it only has 10 tables. Like you said, I still really enjoy playing it, and have even been pushing it to friends of mine, but...
What a crappy thing to do (the $9500) pledge. The level of jackassery on the internet never ceases to amaze me. To go through the trouble of pledging just to see people's reactions when you pull it - unbelievable.
They could certainly use a little refresh of the tiers. Add tiers with more than one pro-mode table. Maybe add a few 'catch-up' tiers like I've seen suggested where you can get a season as a reward or another table of your choice.
They really just need to keep updating with a little...
Hey I didn't say it would be easy (or even possible), just said that I would love to see it!
My hope is that Zen's license is just for original creations using the Star Wars license. I thought I read something about that being the case for the Marvel license, but I could be wrong there.
Good point Rudy. Perhaps a solid backing from Farsight could lead to a partnership where they could rent or borrow machines to use in their recreations. Sounds like a win/win to me!
Data East Star Wars is one of my favorite tables. Had one at the movie theater I worked at and I played the heck out of that thing. Now to see about those pesky licenses...
Sounds like the beta might be on it's way to the PC guys. Hopefully that will entice some on the fence to back.
Meh. Looked like today was going to be an OK day overall but one of the $400 pledges just got pulled. Bummer.
