The Sega's 68000 was faster than the SNES's 6508 in more than clock speed. It was also a much more mature CPU capable of addressing more memory natively without address shifting. It was, in fact, a much faster processor in every way. Timelord ...

Oh, so you're including surrounding towns? Then I shall stand corrected. Inside the city limits your option for child friendly pinball decrease dramatically. Shaumburg is 32 miles outside the city limits, and Crestwood is 21 miles away. You will definitely need a car to visit those...

Hey Jeff! Keep in mind that this map has a very broad definition of "Chicago" and includes locations from just south of Beloit, Wisc to Griffin Indiana. The good news is that it also gives you a location on a map so one can quickly assess how close you are. Also, some of those entries are from...

I'm going to be looking at the pinball scene here in Chicago and if I find any good non bar locations I'll let folks know as I'm sure other native Chicagoans will. Check out the database locations that Pinhead45 included in his post. The only good one I knew of, Haunted trails, has reportedly...

If you remember you made this same observation in a previous post. We get that, OK? As I related in Podcast No 6. Chicago has been and continues to be a "Bar oriented" pinball scene. Very few Arcades at all. Chicago does not feel a need to be like L.A. We have a very long standing tradition...

Gottlieb's classic EM, Royal Flush. Timelord ...

Thank you Sean ! Timelord ...

The programmers seldom read all these miscellaneous threads, however it would be great if you reported this bug in the bug thread here: http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/7728-PC-v1-25-10-Bugs This way there is a chance it might be corrected. Just complaining about does not...

Trademark have to be enforced by the owner by exerting their ownership, usually through legal actions. Patents are enforced by federal law for a fixed term of twenty years, plus any extra time for acceptance processes exceeding three months. Timelord ...

It **is** a continent, but yeah I agree. LOL. :p I have some Aussie musician friends and I was absolutely shocked when they told me what they pay for musical instruments there. Still, not a bad place to live according to them. :cool: Timelord ...

I was lucky enough to have a friend who had a pinball machine in their basement way back in the early 50's. I've searched for years and years through pinball databases and have never found the table's name. Perhaps it is a matter of memory "smear" or other distortion, but I simply can't find...

Well, I've just watched this video. I've tried to minimize any spoiler material. It is a very good overview of the passion that the designers, manufacturers and operators of pinball have for the game. It includes a lot of historical info about pinball going back to the pre "Humpty Dumpty " era...

Hey that was a super video, Superballs! :cool: Keep your present setup, I like the way you can point things out, the video quality is just fine, bro. This happens to be one of my favorite tables, too. Old school all the way. Timelord ...

Not until you posted this, Jeff. I found that it's available on Amazon Instant Videos for streaming or downloading so now it's on my watch list. Thanks, Timelord ...

Hey how cool is that. Happy that it worked out in your favor. Timelord ...

Actually I am **NOT** amongst those four figure donation people, but I recognize that they put their money where their mouth is and thank them. They ask for and receive no more than the two figure donation people. They do demonstrate a measure of commitment that the Facebook crowd doesn't...

While this true for most games, this community has a tradition of giving generously in support of TPA. Several members have donated in the four figure amounts and many more for hundreds of dollars for a single table. This the polar opposite of getting a discount. While this is not mandatory for...

Confirmed ... For the moment the work around is use full screen window mode. Timelord ...

Thanks mpad, it sure does, Timelord ...

Thanks, Jeff, I enjoy talking about the good old days. I just got the car running from it's winter's sleep, had the two rear passenger windows repaired so that they don't just drop down while I'm driving; but need rear brakes. I think that I can safely say beginning of May I'll be ready to...
