I think that depends upon the cost for the licenses versus what any increased sales are. If the inclusion of licensed tables boosts the profile of Pinball Arcade and increases sales generally, then it's likely they wouldn't need to pass the hat for as big a sum or at all. It's all down to how...

I also noticed the leaderboard switch, but since leaderboard updates seem a bit slapdash (my high scores for a number of tables haven't registered), I'm just patiently hoping Gamecentre support will sort that. I didn't realise there was a multi-ball camera option. If so I think I'll try playing...

I don't know who designed it, I was just highlighting why the name stood out for me. I definitely want to see Firepower II in a future release, but I really enjoy Firepower and not for nostalgia.

I'm pretty sure Farsight isn't going to abandon it, but I don't blame them for not rising to criticism, because as you say, it's the internet. As much as I enjoy the low-cost of games on the download platforms, from comments I see against games generally simply because they have the gall to...

I read the first post on this and I did manage the multiball, but didn't experience the camera lock (that did happen to me on the final unlimited multiball in Arabian Nights and in the original Cirqus Voltaire release). I'm using a 3rd gen iPad running the latest iOS version an I was using...

I picked it even though I've never played it, just because I enjoyed the original so much in the arcade and the Williams collection. I'm disappointed Firepower isn't getting more love myself. One of the first pinballs I can remember (back when I was so small I had to sit on a barstool to play)...

I think it was mentioned somewhere that after these two (providing they're successful enough to justify future licensed tables, I imagine) they would somehow poll the consumer to determine what to do next. And I absolutely agree that these releases should be spaced out - I imagine with the work...

I'm not worried about unwinding myself and I'd happily do another US$100 for a TNG-only campaign; I just can't afford to double-up right now. Im kind of annoyed at the nature of the whingeing in the comments on the Kickstarter board. As far as I know Farsight is an independent development...

We really should. They're an independent studio and as far as I know this is their first attempt at self-publishing. I cannot believe they've made a multi-platform effort like this. I'm sure they just did the Mac version because of the ease of porting iOS code to OS X. Not only are they doing...

My Mac Mini is hooked up to my plasma via HDMI and I think it looks excellent - certainly better than the Wii Pinball Classic games which run 576i in the UK. No controller support for the Mac version, which I would also like, but I did mail Jay and ask him to put that in so hopefully someday...

I didn't want to go off-topic, but I think the Williams Collection on the Wii had the best controls full-stop both due to the separation of the controller into two bits and the nudge being mapped left-right to both. Hopefully we'll have remote+nunchuk support for the Wii-U version of Pinball...

I can remember seeing machines like Black Knight in arcades and Firepower II and 8 Ball Deluxe in a tavern in rural Illinois where I used to spend my summers, but it wasn't until I was older and could properly play pinball (in my late teens onward) that I really developed an appreciation for the...

I'm also a big fan of Littlewing and I really like that they're bringing their tables to iOS. The ones I have for my Mac are the more recent output, so I eagerly await Monster Fair, Fairy Tower and Mad Daedalus on my iPad!

I vividly remember Space Invaders from my first arcade circa 1980. The name being the same as an iconic video game of the time combined with artwork that was clearly "influenced" by Alien created a disconnect in my ten-year old brain. I cannot remember if this was a particularly good table or...

I cannot disagree with this statement. Once I got the Williams Collection for the Wii (only a 3-1/2 year wait in the UK) I went back to the Gottlieb Collection and the biggest strength of that collection is the historical coverage owing to Gottlieb's pioneering status. My favourite tables are...

Big Shot Aces High Central Park My exposure is limited to the Gottlieb Pinball Hall of Fame game and their inclusion is what I enjoy most about that collection.

Sean R. Aaron is me. I has sent requests to alla youse.

My thoughts exactly and the same quotes too. I played the hell out of that table at an arcade in San Jose, CA in the 90s and was a bit disappointed that two tables I never played in the arcade (Funhouse and Whirlwind) made the Williams Collection on the Wii, but this one didn't. I don't see why...

I use the "shake" myself and I have to say slapping the side of the iPad gives a decent analogue of doing the same to a real table, but I find it tough to judge how hard to hit and would like a sensitivity control at least. I agree that moving the touch area from the top of the screen to the...

This is great. I actually got to play Monster Bash at the Golfland Arcade in San Jose on my last trip to the States to see family - great table. Gorgar is a really nice classic that I don't remember much from the arcade, but I've really enjoyed playing it in Williams Pinball Classics on the Wii...
