Thanks for the info, Mr Schwantner. I'm happy to know that.

There's an insignificant but interesting mistake by FarSight on this table. They say it was produced in 1974 but the IPDb clearly shows it was made in August 1973! Here's the full story (correct me if I'm wrong): First, in Dec 1972, Gottlieb produced 2,339 tables of a 1-player pinball called...

I long for FarSight to make some of the good old EMs. (I know there are plenty of bad ones, but I'm talking about good ones. And I'm also talking about nostalgia here. Nostalgia, and the fact that EMs are historically important.) In the meantime, the thought of owning my own real life EM is a...

There's an old electro-mechanical pinball table that's being auctioned off, starting at $100. How high should a lover of EMs go? What would it be worth, do you think? I've never bought a RL machine before. http://ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=586 The seller says "The back scoring glass appears to be...

I played it again earlier today, and doubled my high score. (Just thought I'd mention that.) It's *great* fun! I love all pinball, especially EMs, but that old table is the most fun I've had in a long time.

This afternoon I had a wonderful opportunity to play the Sapporo pinball table, which is probably the only electro-mechanical pinball available to the public in New Zealand. It is in the Putt Hut (a mini-golf center) in Palmerston North, in the south of the North Island. It was produced in...

No problem Jeff! But I'm wondering... should each member of my family pay again for the four seasons of TPA? Or not?

I tried the Steam support page and was directed to the forums, and there they insisted that every member of my family must pay again, for their use of the TPA tables. They even quoted EULA. I started three different threads about it, one at a time, but they were intransigent. For example, see...

Thanks Jeff. But I'm sharing all Steam games except TPA with my grand-daughter. As Steam says: "Steam Family Library Sharing allows family members and their guests to play one another's games while earning their own Steam achievements and saving their own game progress to the Steam Cloud."...

There seems to be some sort of misunderstanding about TPA over at Steam. To explain, each member of my family have their own side of the family computer, where each of us do our own emails and searches and so on. And when we download video games, each game we download appears on each of our own...
