    TPA versus your average Real Life Machine

    The main difference is the physicality of the real thing. You gotta slam, nudge, bounce, *FLIP*, jiggle, clutch, and BANG the machine around if you want to get high scores. Virtual pinball will help in many ways, but only to a certain level. It has definitely helped my game over the years...

    The Pin by Stern

    I think The Pin is a great idea in theory. Don't really care for the TF theme. Like was mentioned, I would prefer an old 70 or 80s style pinball. I love the idea of cheaper more reliable retro reproductions. But then.....$3000?!?! Woah that's out of line for this. You can get a real table for...

    Visual Pinball Tournament Thread

    I'd love to participate if I can muster up a few good scores. I'm just getting back into VP. What version of TZ are you playing? Maybe more version info is needed so we can compare scores. The VP site will only let you download 5 tables per day, but it seems you can download unlimited roms...

    Vote for your top 5 favorite TPA tables to date

    I think what kills Harley for me is that video mode. I hate video modes on pinball and never want them to happen. GROAN. I loved Harley at first, but it does video mode waaay too often. It's like playing one of those Tiger handheld games while waiting in line for a roller coaster. I feel the...

    Christmassy Movies?

    Christmas Story is my fave. A few weeks ago I visited the Christmas Story house in Cleveland where it was filmed. It's fun! Also gotta watch Bad Santa. It's not for kids though, unless you are bad parents. Do let me tell you how to raise your kids.

    Lack of visual consistency

    That's not true. We all give a rats @ss, including FS. The majority of PS3 owners have complaints about the lighting inconsistencies and colors being "washed out" on certain tables. There are several threads about this in this forum and the PS3 and vita forum. Here's one I just found...

    Vote for your top 5 favorite TPA tables to date

    I chose: 1.Gorgar 2.Black Hole 3.Big Shot 4.Monster Bash 5.Arabian Nights I picked them based on what I play and enjoy the most on TPA, not necessarily my favorite in real life. I do prefer the older tables though. Most of the time I don't care for video modes and dmd cut scenes. Just give me...

    Pinball that has been featured on TV and in movies

    Yes it's The Dan Patrick Show. DP SHOW! I have been a fan of his since the old sportscenter days. Great show. I was going to post that here, but it kept slipping my mind. Almost everything in his studio was given to him by an athlete or celebrity. He got the Dale Jr table from Dale Jr. Don't...

    Weird, Scary, downright Unsettling Pins

    I love the weird freaky tables! Xenon and Gorgar are my favorite of all time. Tables like Nightmare on Elm Street scares me though. I guess any pin that has interactive heads in it is scary to me. Road show is really unsettling for me, I don't even like playing it. A few weeks ago I was...

    Pinball Arcade vs. Williams Pinball Hall of Fame ??

    Thats so weird that you get lag on xbox. Hope you can find a fix for it. Glad you play it on iphone, I find myself playing TPA on my phone more often anyway. I like that I can play real pinball tables while watching sports, sitting in a waiting room, or while driving. Nothing wrong with...

    Pinball Arcade vs. Williams Pinball Hall of Fame ??

    Hey Soundsgood. Wow this is the first I've heard of flipper lag on xbox. But I think the flippers are sluggish on TPA in general. I am reminded of how sluggish they are when I play Zen, Pro Pinball, or real pinball after a few long TPA sessions. This is one of the biggest problems with TPA...

    Where do we post TZ bugs?

    That doesn't sound like a bug. The game quits on all the tables when you reach a certain score, asking for purchase.

    Best camera angle to score?

    I dunno maybe its just me, but when the flipper is a little bigger I can nail shots. But I only want that angle for certain shots, then go to a higher angle on the fly to track the ball. Maybe a smartcam option should be implemented? I demand a customizable smartcam! New thread coming.
