    Table Pack #14 mobile only, so far

    Is this the first time that the Mac Pack will be later than the mobiles? [Since TPA has been available for Mac, of course.]

    Request Season Pass or Premium Pinball Arcade membership

    There are people, including Mac (only) TPA fans, who may not have any idea what a "season pass" (in this context) means. I assume that it is one of the many differences between mobile devices and other types of devices. $60+ for what? Is a season three months of DLC? I ask, because you used the...

    Abbreviations for Pinball Tables in The Pinball Arcade -TPA

    You can pretty much put Centaur. Perhaps CT, CEN or CENT will come into usage. I propose CEN.

    Hockey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The winged wheel says ha. Red Wings beat Black Hawks for first time since January, 2012 — do so in Chicago.

    Ball vs Ball Collision fixed.

    I'm not even a huge fan of either table and I'm geeked for this pack. These are classic pinball.

    Google Play Game Services Cross platform intergration?

    Play is very different on the various platforms. Nudging is the obvious example. I suppose mobile platforms could be consistent, but I question whether they actually are.

    1st Pin That Hooked You on Pinball

    A Brief Pinball Bio I was hooked the first time I played, and I'm sure I was too young to remember the specific machine. I played a lot of Travel Time in the mid-'70s. It had the quirk of using a timer (instead of ball count) to limit play. There were shots that could add to your time. I had a...

    Keyboard Bindings

    Sadly, the Mac version is pretty much a straight port from iOS. I've seen nothing which would indicate that will change. Many are looking forward to running the Steam/PC version. I boot into Windows for Visual Pinball. I'm sure I'd be willing to do it for TPA. Possible workarounds include...

    Gorgar Tactics and Strategies

    My advice is to just try for the 1-2-3-4 and ignore high scores until you get the last goal. You'll soon figure out which of the four you hit the least. Flashing just means that you have hit them at least twice (I assume a scoring difference.) You get one star lit for each set you complete. You...

    Mac Version 1.1.3 Discussion And Feedback

    Caffeine is a free app in the Mac App Store. It will keep your Mac awake, of course. No sleeping, dimming or screen savers. It's a simple toggle in the menu bar.

    Classic Stern Poll - Official FarSight Poll (Closed)

    It's no Gorgar, but a talking F2K is a talking F2K That's twice that my preferred table has come in second. I'm going to get a complex if this keeps up. It's a good thing that pinball is such good therapy. Classic Sterns need to be represented in the PA, so there is no downside to this...

    The Official Latest NEWS And INFORMATION Discussion Thread

    I do a mean Lurch myself, but I'm guessing that it is not quite that simple when the lawyers get involved. Thank heavens for non-commercial emulation.

    Classic Stern Poll - Official FarSight Poll (Closed)

    IPDB ratings are open to anyone who wishes to register. They are obviously colored by the machines that people have had the opportunity to play. They are further colored by the availability of virtual play. You have an interesting concept of the word "close". Personally, I have "disdain" for...

    What initials/name do you use for high scores?

    Why talk a good game when you can ACT? Those are my initials.

    Classic Stern Poll - Official FarSight Poll (Closed)

    That is seriously petty. I consider Eight Ball Deluxe to be a classic. I would never consider boycotting the Centaur table pack because it beat out EBD in a poll.

    Classic Stern Poll - Official FarSight Poll (Closed)

    I've played both, and it is Flight 2000 which has no gameplay. You lock some balls and then what? Ooh, spinner, shiny! Now, I've relocked a ball. Rinse and repeat. I notice that Seawitch is listed in italics among the candidates. I wonder if that means anything. Hmmm.
