I’m with you guys: changes to artwork I can live with, but missing game modes is a no. Audio stuff is going to cause me a problem when I have a Pinball Arcade version to compare it with as well. I cannot understand why they didn’t do a separate app for these real machines if they were going to...

Of course there is the reality of whether or not I can track one down, however I’ve found a UK-based cab maker who does one all-in for £1300 which isn’t bad, so back to the dual cab notion

Case in point I have no idea what you’re talking about. I just play the machines.

That new Stern Batman table is boss, love to see that come to TPA on the PS4.

Ah the favourite column - it auto-populated it with tables I hadn’t played or purchased even, so I didn’t twig to it being that. With the star at the top, I thought maybe it was a “featured table” column or something. Awesome that’s there, but do I really need to buy more digital pinball on my...

Yeah. I figured out the mouse being best choice early on in my MAME experience with Star Wars/Empire. That sounds more encouraging and that spinner Narcolepsy posted a link to sounds pretty amazing. To be honest I had thought of just buying a couple of cabs someday, but X-Arcade is sounding a...

Well there goes my idea that X-Arcade would make a good plan b. What about the MAME cabinets you can get online - do trackball/spinner games feel right on those? I mean otherwise I can’t see how to play something like Tempest - nobody makes raster CRTs anymore, right, much less vector ones, so...

Yeah a lot of newer tables just don’t feel right to me - too many plastic toys and what appears to be use of magnets to guide the ball. The early solid states just feel more real to me. I do like some of the modern Sterns, however - that Batman machine that came out recently based on the 60s TV...

I bought a fair number of their original tables on the Wii U and find most of them forgettable. My faves were some of the Marvel ones. I think Blade was the one I kept coming back to the most; I remember enjoying Moon Knight as well, so I may buy that bundle again (since you can’t seem to buy...

I downloaded it yesterday (really hate the PS4 shop still - Nintendo did it so much better) and gave Fishtales a couple of plays, classic and with the animated fisherman and it looks nice and plays pretty well. Not my favourite table so I wasn’t blown away. Main issues I have are the limited...

Good show, though the Farsight interview was a bit bittersweet; telling him how long the sale of the WMS license was in the works was a bit mean, too. I was in California in July and saw a couple films at Cinemark and AMC and man I’m really disappointed with what’s happened to the moviegoing...

Classic arcade games are the one thing I will shameless double, triple, whatever-dip on. I skipped most of the consoles in favour of arcades in my youth; Williams Arcade Classics is why I bought a Playstation and Nichibutsu Arcade Classics is why I modded it to play Japanese games. I’ve got a...

I do like the Zen one; didn’t catch the manufacturer, so I guess we won’t see that, but there’s bound to be some oddball licensed machines from the 60s-70s in the WMS catalogue.

Totally agree; I use the trackpad with my left thumb, but it’s ever so slightly awkward :-D I figure I’ll eventually get a couple multi arcade cabs: one with a Defender button layout I can use with one or two-stick games and one with a trackball and a spinner. Those things aren’t cheap so it’s...

On a related note I pre-ordered one of these at the UK Pinfest - actually playable: http://www.numskull.com/pac-man-quarter-size-arcade-cabinet/ They have a Taito merch license as well; told the guy they HAVE to do Space Invaders, though I think a wee joystick at that scale would work better...

That’s kinda sad, but hopefully they’ll realise some quality earnings from both camps and just get into releasing both kinds to keep everyone happy. If they totally ignore the pre-DMD stuff, frankly that seems like a waste of the license - I mean there’s all kinds of tables they could do with...

I got to play this at the UK Pinfest in August - it’s better than those crappy pinball machines the Sharper Image used to sell, but honestly Attack from Mars is a lot more fun. It’s not terribly varied and the playfield is really small. I’d rather play a Zaccaria table to be honest. It’s more of...

I’ve not had a chance to download it, but I’ll give it a go tonight to see what Fish Tales is like. I’m not a huge DMD fan, so I’m not in a rush to double-dip; especially given I bought the entire TPA shop in June! I get that there’s not many bugs, but it just seems like an added benefit to...

I’m with kolchak: I’ll take a look when there’s a table I don’t already have in TPA. I’m also likely to only get it on PS4. Hopefully by then some of the bugs will be worked out. Incidentally I don’t suppose they have cross-platform support? I bought a number of the Marvel tables on my Wii U and...

Some good suggestions there. Heck I’m still waiting for Ace High from the old Wii/PS2 Gottlieb Collection to appear, so I’m not that fussy!
