    Zen Studios alters classic pinball art to protect family-friendly rating

    So the assumption that the big news from your Mel Kirk interview would be the announcement of which tables will be in Williams pack 2 is wrong, or at least incomplete.

    BlahCade #154: Slow News Weeks Are*Awesome!

    Am I missing something with Animal House? - think its only that and Heat on the list of films I haven't seen [unless you count the first Harry Potter on a technicality as it has a different name in the US than the UK], although to be fair I was only 4 when it came out.

    Zen Studios alters classic pinball art to protect family-friendly rating

    With Zen and Farsight, it seems their attitude is the same as some peoples attitude to planning permission when unsure if its needed or not. Zen does it the right way and checks what is needed in advance, and hence are sustainable in the long term. Farsight ploughs on thinking "well it will...

    Blackpool Play Expo 27th & 28th October

    Had a nice day. One thing I didn't think of before I got there is when there is 1 pinball machine its easy to hear, same likely applies if you have a cluster of 4 pinball machines. Scaled up to 50 all being played at once, and its hard to hear the one you are playing. 10 of them were in...

    Pinball FX3 & other Pinball sales

    Can't see a dedicated thread for pinball sales, just a general one from the last Steam summer sale so makes sense to have a new one. FX3 Aliens vs Pinball, and The Walking Dead are both 50% off on Steam until 1st November. I also note that Zaccaria has a sale, and no sales at all on The...

    Medieval Madness on FX3

    I've played on a real MM for the first time ever (think before today I'd played on 2 pinball machines, now increased to about 25 - didn't have enough time to try all 50). After a few practice games I was trying to get as many bits done before Multiball Madness, and on that game think I hit the...

    BlahCade Weekly Zen Tournament

    I'll have to level up my rewind before trying - having it only at level 2 would be a big disadvantage.

    Blackpool Play Expo 27th & 28th October

    Blackpool / Manchester Play Expo events Not sure how many forum members are in the UK but there is a pinball/gaming weekend in Blackpool next week. I'm thinking of going on the Saturday as its in daytrip range for me. Pinball lineup has been announced...

    BlahCade Weekly Zen Tournament

    Just seen the results - think its safe to say Sheriff Evans got the better of everyone apart from Tha Shizzel 420 & born2late. Very easy to get c.60 million using the hidden skillshot (+skillshot & score bonuses), c.80 million some of the time, c.100 million on a really good game but beyond...

    Zen Studios alters classic pinball art to protect family-friendly rating

    I find it fascinating that with trillions of sentences written over the centuries its possible to read one and be virtually certain no one has ever written it before! What the bleep is a sausage bonus?

    What Zen Original tables play the most like real pinball?

    Adventureland and Son of Zeus are both good Zen tables. Personally I like Adventureland better; who doesn't like a good fairground! Packs a lot in - rollercoasters, balloons, fireworks, the sky eye, and more.

    BlahCade Weekly Zen Tournament

    Happened with my last go, not that I was going to be troubling the leaderboards anyway as I've not managed to work out how to semi-reliably get a super-jackpot (let alone more than one) which makes c.120M a good score for me.

    Zen Studios alters classic pinball art to protect family-friendly rating

    Only just noticed, but backglass in Junkyard has a few more bubbles in the bath - got 2 monitor display so have the uncensored backglass version on second monitor or I'd have likely never known there was a change.

    Feedback and issues on FX3 Williams Pinball Vol. 1 - Release version

    Just been playing the 5 minute The Getaway tourney, and same thing happened with that as with the survival challenge - got video mode twice in quick succession then (with 1 minute of the 5 minutes still left) got awarded end of ball bonus points and game ended. Its a definite bug, not that...

    different US & European difficulty settings

    For things like extra ball percent, and multi-ball percent have Farsight and Zen picked which other settings they want to implement from that table and use the % in a particular column, or have they 'mixed and matched' a bit? Also (not having played this table in TPA) have they made the same or...

    different US & European difficulty settings

    Just found the manual for Getaway : High Speed II https://www.arcade-museum.com/manuals-pinball/G/Getaway_HSII_OPS.pdf Page 1-20 has the various difficulty settings that can be set by the operator. What is the logic in having US/Canada/France slightly easier than German/European? Also...

    Zen Pinball FX3 Williams Pinball Volume One

    Noticed in that thread SYT says difficulty settings asked for (and not got) since season 1. Looks like its an advantage I've been late to the 'digital pinball table'; 0 days wait for Zen to do arcade/tournament settings!

    Feedback and issues on FX3 Williams Pinball Vol. 1 - Release version

    I've had that happen once, but as I only had about 4 seconds left it timed out anyway rather than finish totting up the bonus points (wouldn't have scored enough to get another 60 seconds so didn't make much of a difference). Edit : Just happened again - on the same game I also had the video...

    TPA v PFX3 - A Quick Comparison Video

    Also better that they aren't tied into release dates months in advance so if a particular table isn't working the way they want they can delay it (internal to the company) until its been finessed, and no one else needs to know. Same thing happened to me on Fish Tales survival mode - I've...
