    Classic Stern Poll - Official FarSight Poll (Closed)

    I'm voting Seawitch. It appears to have the best layout, by far.

    Run you clever boy!(doctor who series 7)

    Not true. Netflix has a hodgepodge of classic Who available. Some is available for streaming (search for Classic Doctor Who) and some is available only for DVD plans. Even with both streaming and DVD, you won't be able to see it all. Some of it is lost forever and some is audio only (on a...

    EM; root for a classic.

    What Mechanics And/Or Design Choices Do You Wish Appeared More Frequently In Pinball?

    I've always been a sucker for both kick-out holes and inline drop targets. Paragon, my favorite table, has both. Eight Ball Deluxe, another favorite, also has both. Hmm.

    When did the term "Pinball Tables" supplant "Pinball Machines"

    Getting back to the question of pinball's resurgence, we have to give credit to inexpensive pinball apps. People who have invested a buck or five in a pinball app are going to be more likely to try out the real deal. A lull in non-pinball computer/console gaming is also a factor. Table has...

    Mac Version 1.1.2 Discussion And Feedback

    So, in other words, it's more evidence of the Mac version being a direct port from iOS. Makes sense.

    Mac Version 1.1.2 Discussion And Feedback

    Manage Tables I have several of the table packs, and they appear normally in the latest update. The Manage Tables screen shows no tables downloaded. What does that mean?

    Mac with PS3 controller

    @Oenta: I've tried this and I'm having no issues. When I asked above, I hadn't tried yet. I was just surprised that the PS3 controller was supported by TPA. This should work fine for corded PS3 controller use. If you want to play bluetooth then follow the instructions upthread in Worf's post.

    Pro Pinball

    Timeshock is my favorite pin. Yes, I enjoy it more than even real pinball. I still have a PS2 that will play it.

    Mac with PS3 controller

    I have used a PS3 controller with my Mac before. Are you saying that TPA "just works"? How do the button assignments happen? I usually use the PS3 controller with an arcade emulator. The emulator itself allows me to assign buttons. Since TPA doesn't allow me to reassign keys, how does it work?

    The Williams/Bally table validation process

    If Farsight has access to an actual table (and they do,) shouldn't they be able to catch these things themselves?

    Loving this table (Android and iOS)

    Could we at least get a "pinball pr0n" warning when you're going to post explicit pictures like that? Now, I want one, too.

    Firepower Tactics and Strategies

    That would be from the instruction cards zip file at ipdb.org Personally, It's rare that I can manage a multiball on Firepower, let alone achieve this amazing repeat. I am curious as to whether or not it was implemented in PA. It may be one of those things that is not in every version of the ROM.

    Firepower Tactics and Strategies

    Firepower had a few firsts, including the right flipper changing the lit top lanes. It only switches in one direction, unlike more recent machines. Plan ahead to drop a launched ball into an unlit lane. Bonus multiplier can really up the scores on this one. Completing F-I-R-E past 5x bonus...

    Drained ball re-entering through kickback lane

    I haven't played a real Firepower in about 30 years, but I can say that drained balls reentering via the outlines is common on some pinballs.

    Dr Dude forum board

    I have some love for the '80s, but Dr. Dude would not have been my 200th choice for a table, let alone my next choice. Dated and unimpressive.

    A VERY dangerous thread!

    What's chapping my ass today: 1. Mac UI (the iOS UI doesn't cut it) 2. Mac control preferences (the Shift keys don't cut it) 3. EM score reels should behave like EM score reels (I swear there's a scoring bug in Big Shot, but who can tell) 4. End of game initial entry fails (fails for two...

    Bug Mac Version 1.1.0 Bugs

    This is a no-brainer. Launch should be instantaneous. Very annoying. There is no obvious argument for a delay.
