    Your top favorite game from each pack?

    Base: Theatre of Magic Pack 1: Medieval Madness Pack 2: Funhouse (tough call) Pack 3: Monster Bash (also a tough call) Pack 4: Creature (would be a tough call if Black Knight had fewer implementation problems) Pack 5: Taxi Pack 6: Elvira and the Party Monsters (probably the biggest surprise of...

    Request Moratorium on Pat Lawlor pins

    Relative to his total output, John Popadiuk is actually more overrepresented, though they haven't done any more of his tables in a while. But, yeah, we could use more Barry Oursler and Steve Ritchie. Just bringing in the PHoF: Williams tables would go some distance to remedy that.

    Farsight comes clean on issues with 360 platform

    I actually don't find that unreasonable. Obviously nobody is going to try to play TPA with a guitar controller (except as a joke/stunt), but if you've got one active when you start the game and it makes the console unresponsive, or causes something similarly ugly or unrecoverable to happen...

    Why The Recent Emphasis On Licensed Tables?

    Big Shot was a PHoF: Gottlieb Collection table, like Black Hole. That indicates to me that they're willing to dip into the Gottlieb list for some variety, which increases the back catalog they can draw from and makes the future a bit harder to predict. I suppose it was unusual in that, since...

    Whats the worst score you got on this table?

    ...I see other sources saying this, that even many EMs would save the ball if you hit no switches at all. I did not know that.

    Whats the worst score you got on this table?

    Really, even on old EMs? I thought Funhouse was one of the first tables to have any kind of ball-saver (though it's stingy enough that you rarely see it; later tables got much more generous).

    DLC Guru

    I don't know if they'd really pair two circa-1980 early-SS tables like that; they seem to like to have a newer table in every pack. But Firepower is awesome, both in PHoF and in real life; whenever I go over to Pinball Wizard I dump a bunch of tokens on theirs.

    Farsight comes clean on issues with 360 platform

    Ha! Reminds me of the old Saturday Night Live sketch about the retiring nuclear engineer whose parting advice is "you can't put too much water in a nuclear reactor." (What did he mean???)

    TZ Emails

    I never got the email (or it was spam-filtered away), but I went to Kickstarter, saw the message banner and responded. I was in at $25.

    The Official Latest NEWS And INFORMATION Discussion Thread

    Do we know that Space Shuttle wouldn't be emulated? They can emulate Williams System 11B games now (Taxi, Elvira and the Party Monsters), and I got the impression that emulating earlier Williams systems wouldn't be a huge stretch from there. Presumably the development effort is nontrivial, but...

    Anyone still going to support this version?

    I find that I never know what tables are going to really grab me, and having more overall means I'm more likely to encounter a new favorite. Example: in the latest DLC pack, the table that's really obsessing me is not Scared Stiff; it's Big Shot, the early 1970s Gottlieb EM!

    TZ and STTNG

    You know about the Easter egg, right? Hit both flipper buttons to shut him up, with Picard testily saying "Thank you, Mr. Data." You get a Thank You Mr. Data bonus.

    TZ and STTNG

    Sorry, my brain fart. I got him mixed up with the late Dennis Ritchie, co-inventor of C and Unix.

    TZ and STTNG

    Also, for anyone who actually watched the TV show, Star Trek: TNG has some of the best theme integration ever done. The visual style and the use of the TV music and original-cast voices are all just perfectly done. (The one thing that doesn't quite fit is those "Battle Simulation" ball cannons...

    TZ and STTNG

    Twilight Zone is the ultimate Pat Lawlor table; Star Trek: TNG is the ultimate Dennis Ritchie table.

    So I just got done watching Tilt: The Battle to Save Pinball.

    While The Phantom Menace was a pretty bad movie and got a lot of critical backlash, it still hauled in a lot of money, and toy companies are still selling tie-in merchandise for it to this day. I'm not sure this can really be blamed on the media license itself. The timing was probably bad. And...

    Whats the worst score you got on this table?

    Hmmm.... seems unsporting. Maybe we need Loser Tournament Rules.

    Always leave 'em wanting more.

    Whats the worst score you got on this table?

    This is a challenge! Since this is (by more modern standards) a rare table on which a score of zero is actually possible, I wonder how easy it is to manage to do it.

    Bug Crossover Bonus not recognized

    I've gotten it on Android as well. It happened mostly by accident, but I think I got it by the "ball 1 in Drac catapult, ball 2 up ramp" method.
