Some here will recognize the name, but Mike designed the second most requested Stern game (by a whisker), Seawitch.
He came through the ranks from engineering, assisting Harry Williams on Flight 2000, the ultimate winner on this site. He also had a hand in numerous other titles as engineer...
Log in on Internet, play while not on Internet. After game you'll get a pop up saying you're not on, but next time you are everything will be uploaded.
Same thing with Pinbot. Tried Ripley's for a test and all was good. Want to bet moving the Startrek launch button lamed the right flipper on the new tables?
Maybe if the rest of you can ever get to play a game you can confirm?

No crashes so far, but there is a dead zone to the left of the right flipper. Placing my thumbs in the same place as every other game, flipper doesn't flip. Have to move right thumb further right to make it work.
Have you tried closing it by going to the home screen and THEN double clicking the home button? If you do that you'll see the icon in the bottom "tray". Press and hold until it "squiggles". Then it will get an x in the corner which you push.
That will force quit the app completely. Then re-open...
This. Even if FS ignores these results, it was cool for them to allow customers to express opinions. Also cool is the respect shown to this site and its mods by placing the poll here instead of FB or their own site.
Good job all around.
As important, be sure to have 'spot RIVER letter' lit while the right flipper is up. 90% of the time you''ll collect two letters.
I always do this while the ball is in the mine, second nature now.
Further thought:
The surprise to me is Meteor. Classic game, put Stern on the "credibility map", and made a name for Kirk.
I thought it was fun, even if eventually boring.
Re lack of votes for Nine Ball:
Not surprising to me as they wouldn't stay in a playable state! Don't know if Kirk's design was too advanced for Stern's engineering or the software was to blame, but often 10 minutes into a game the ball locks would jam. This went on for months at a test...
Yes! Too many hours to count!
The absolute best of that Stern era, designed by the vastly underrated Mike Kubin.
Seawitch has my vote, and if I can figure out how it will have my multiple vote.

Bug: during multiball right flipper stops working until all balls have drained but 1. I suspect it's related to the multiball cam view, as draining all but 1 returns to cam 1 scrolling.
Frequency: haven't a clue as I don't like this game, just needed some high...
Quick note:
Was looking forward to AirPlay Mirroring so I could play on my big screen via Apple TV using ipad4. Doesn't work as envisioned due to lag between the 2 devices, flips are always behind reality if you're watching the tv.
Still useful though for allowing others to watch your game...
