    What four table packs would you recommend to someone new to TPA?

    In fairness, the OP never said newbie, he said new to TPA. It's unclear if the intended audience is new to pinball.

    What four table packs would you recommend to someone new to TPA?

    Let's see... quality, fun, and replay value... hmm... It's pretty much Season 1, Centaur and EBD in the running. In order of release, I'd go with: 1. Cirqus Voltaire/Fun House — these have some complexity to their rulesets for replay value, appealing sounds/heckling/visuals and you get Rudy...

    Any one running macOS Sierra yet ?

    The specs are not the issue. That same Mac can have a Windows partition. The PC version will have superior graphics and no slow-down issue.

    Mac - Bug Circus Voltaire issues

    The explanation is that the Mac version is a port from iOS--with the absolute bare minimum changes. That is also why the graphics are nowhere close to PC. Definitely go with the Steam version over Mac App Store, and consider putting a Windows partition on that Mac. The Steam version plays on...

    Request Bad Cats: Love it or leave it?

    I fall into the "the callouts don't drive me crazy" camp, so I am pro-Bad Cats.

    Can you remember the first pinball tables you ever played?

    Some of the earliest that I remember were from my early teens in the '70s: Big Brave, Ro Go and Travel Time. The latter controlled play with a timer instead of the number of balls. The best of those three for gameplay would have been Big Brave. The machines were in a local McCrory's store. That...

    Shaking the table - is it really helping that much?

    For EBD, specifically, one reason to nudge the ball on the bumpers is to complete the A-B rollover sequence above them. Lane change with the flipper had just been invented (that was Firepower) and EBD did not have it.

    New Mac version in the works?

    Indy 500 is out, and no new UI.

    Table Pack #51 Speculation Thread

    Ten table packs per season, so 51 starts season 6. The Indy 500 callouts will be a fun way to start the season, but this isn't the Indy that a lot of people would like to see.

    Predict Season 6 Poll

    I voted for the three tables that I voted for in three earlier polls. All three came in second in their respective polls. That would be EBD, Seawitch and Paragon.

    Midwest Gaming Classic 2016 (Brookfield, WI)

    I used to play quite a bit on a Jet Spin (the 4-player version) back in the early '80s. That Roto-target in the upper left could give you a special, but getting the star in the center of the target was rare, and it was a long shot from the flippers.

    Thoughts on new iPad Pro 9.7

    The latest iPad is about twice as fast as the iPad Air 2, with about three times the graphic power. There are four speakers to allow good sound no matter how it is held. It supports the pencil, just like the bigger iPad Pro. It actually has better cameras than the bigger iPad Pro. The Air 2 and...

    Williams EM's for TPA

    I'd be very happy with Aztec.

    Minimalist Gotltieb EM list

    Big Brave gives a nice challenge by partially hiding the drop targets behind the Vari-target. Spirit of 76 is too important to pinball history to be left out. Royal Flush and Joker Poker are both great takes on the card theme. Most units of Joker Poker were SS, since it was right on the tail end...

    Eight Ball Deluxe

    Great to see this thread bumped. Paragon and Fathom can be added to EBD as must tables for TPA.
