    Easiest Wizard Goals

    Hardest and most annoying standard goal: get up to 180 seconds on Goin' Nuts. I tried it again and got to 167. I hate hate hate that table.

    Dualshock 4 with Android?

    I'm not using any software right now. And there are no button controller schemes that I can see in the new UI (I do remember them in the old UI).

    Dualshock 4 with Android?

    Anybody trying this? I just paired my DS4 with my Nexus 7 2013. Besides the fact that the flippers are getting controlled by L2/R2 instead of L1/R1, the lag between pushing the trigger and the flipper activating is horrible! I see controller apps on the Play store that require a rooted...

    Lethal Weapon 3 Kickstarter

    Hmm...I liked both Lethal Weapon ("What Leo wants, Leo Getz!") and Star Wars (I'm guessing the one shot mentioned was that super easy ramp). I didn't realize the hate for these.

    Nexus 7 (2013) replacement

    You don't have the dreaded performance slow down due to the bad flash used in the 2012 model? That's why I moved to the 2013 model.

    Level 257 - Pac Man Themed Restaurant (Schamburg, IL)

    Wow, on my business trips there I've been going to Gameworks right nearby and went to the Underground Retrocade last time. Now I've got to check this out! Way more pins (and probably better maintained) than Gameworks sad set.

    Nexus 7 (2013) replacement

    Wow this is great news! I never thought Google would go back to the 7 inch form factor!

    Can you remember the first pinball tables you ever played?

    When I was a kid in the early 80s, my parents actually bought the Happy Days themed Fonzi pinball for home play! This was more a toy than a real pinball machine, but it was pretty much my first exposure to pinball. I didn't play much, if any other pinball in the 80s (video games were my bag...

    2016-Aug-26 20-minute tournament: EBD, PZone, Diner, LCA, JY, FT, CBW, EDCoG

    Draining a ball on purpose for a bonus in a timed tournament is pretty much a given as a strategy. As for Midnight Madness, I didn't even realize what was going on when it started, so I just went with it. As others have mentioned, it's part of the ROM.

    2016-Aug-26 20-minute tournament: EBD, PZone, Diner, LCA, JY, FT, CBW, EDCoG

    Midnight Madness actually helped my JY score a lot. Of course, you have to be playing around midnight your time, but it still kicks in for the tournament.

    Nexus 7 (2013) replacement

    Is an update expected soon? It's currently out of stock (the standalone version) at a number of the US resellers.

    Nexus 7 (2013) replacement

    After yet another screwed up multiball because of touch issues on my Nexus 7, I'm starting to seriously think about a replacement. I think the 7 inch touch screen is perfect for TPA, so I would want another similar tablet. All my table purchases are Android, so I don't want to go to an iPad...

    Ghostbusters!

    I've played this twice now: once at the arcade in Dundee, IL and then at California Extreme. I found the game quite difficult but I think it's mostly because of the brand new rubbers. I couldn't even catch the ball without it bouncing out.

    Ten specials wizard goal

    Yes, but that means the game where I get the "E" I would still have to get 7 other specials. Tricky.

    Ten specials wizard goal

    The possibility of me getting all of the DELUXE letters in a single game is pretty much nil. I spent most of Saturday afternoon playing game after game without quitting or resetting to finally spell DELUXE and get the goal.

    So ..... how do I get a good score?

    Just FYI to the OP, regarding innings: a normal baseball game is nine innings. Each inning consists of each of the two teams having a turn at bat (offense) while the other team is out in the outfield (defense). Extra innings are played in case of a tie at the end of the 9th inning. I'm not...

    Ten specials wizard goal

    I got 7 in my last try by going for the bank shot all the time. Once you drop the 2x and 3x, the shot is a lot safer. It then alternates easily between 50000 and special. Is this what other folks are doing? Steve

    Table Pack #54 Speculation

    We already have Elvira and the Party Monsters.

    Stuck connecting...

    I updated this evening with the small patch that was available. TPA worked fine at first, but now, when I start the app, I'm stuck at "Connecting..." with the spinning circle in front of the Pinball Arcade logo. Force quitting and rebooting my device have not fixed the issue. All other...

    Can't hit that darn loop!

    I'm back on this table in the current tournament, and I know my score could be so much better if I just could consistently hit the upper loop! I don't know if it's an Android thing, but I can consistently hit Rudy's stupid mouth (hate that dummy), but I've tried all different timings and I...
