The 2015-08-28 tourney has (on all platforms): - The Getaway: High Speed 2 - Party Zone - Diner - Black Knight 2000 - Goin' Nuts - Centaur - Theatre of Magic - Ripley's Believe It or Not! I guess enough people bought Space Shuttle, Haunted House, and Victory last month to retire them. I'm OK...

So while playing Space Shuttle and Haunted House in the tournament, I started wondering when ramps changed from always being opaque plastic or metal, to the transparent plastic. The oldest table I could find with a transparent ramp is Comet (May 1985). I looked at most of the high-production...

I have five wizard goals left, and one is the HH 3-level Double Bonus. With much practice, I think I know the rules, and I can get the ball into the upper playfield regularly enough to light its Double Bonus. The 1-2-3-4-5 targets aren't too hard, although I don't know a good way to hit the 2...

One of their employees, RSchwantner, said "I've been trying to push for no more pause function at all. Can't pause a real table." http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/10456-Obligatory-strategy-thread-)?p=216696&viewfull=1#post216696 EDIT: Oops, he was just joking, and I got fooled...

Time to get ready for the second PC tourney. The tables are, as listed in the last newsletter, - Safe Cracker - Space Shuttle (again) - Whirlwind - Firepower - Victory (again) - Haunted House (again) - Flight 2000 - Junk Yard That's right, three of last month's tables were I guess just so...

I don't see a RS forum, so... After a few plays... - The music seems too low to me. I set SFX to 50% (music at 100%), and the sound seems better. I haven't noticed a bad mix (?) on any other table before, but I may be extra-sensitive to RS. - Hitting the Blast from a caught ball on the L...

What are you more excited about for Friday? What I'm excited about is that I entered the poll question FOUR times: - The thread title - The poll question - This post's title - The text required for this post I'll try to get this down to two, the next time I make a poll. I don't think just one...

Some folks think the leaderboards should be cleared out regularly. See this post for a "pro" argument and I think a "con" one: http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/10178-TPA-Website-Issues-Requests?p=211120&viewfull=1#post211120 I'm curious what PAF'ers think.

Here's another little puzzle. These eight pics are from pinball machine playfields or backglasses. Seven are in TPA, and the other is from a famous non-TPA table. Name the table each is on. I tried to make these harder than the last one. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Fungi had a great idea with http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/10213-The-ABCs-of-Pinball ... I'm ripping it off. Each of these pics come from the display of a TPA table when an Extra Ball is gotten. Identify the tables. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

With the fast number of posts in the predict Season 5 thread, I thought I'd take a stab at having a prediction contest. I'm also interested in knowing who the best predictors are, so I can maybe "follow" them. Here are the rules: * To enter, post in this thread your predictions for Table...

The regular season is over, and it's playoff time. Well it's been playoff time for two weeks and Round 1 has only one more game. Anyway. I'm playing the NBA playoff fantasy game at http://www.nba.com/drive/desktop.html if anyone wants to talk picks. I don't have a strong favorite or...

I've played this table twice, got a high score both times, and both times, while entering initials or the stupid "choose your face" whatever, the game entered a state where a forced kill of its process was required. A new game started, the prompt stayed at the bottom, no controls worked, escape...

I haven't purchased Season 4 yet, but while browsing the leaderboard I noticed the top 2 STroop scores: 1 innomines 19,999,999,990 2 Neronatusest 9,999,999,990 I didn't see a note in this forum so I decided to post. I guess it's just a ping in case somebody needs to fix something in TPA (if...

[deleted] edit... never mind, key configuration was just scrambled... wish i could delete this...

TPA user maezun posted a link to this interview with the best TPA player in the world: http://theballiswild.net/interview-with-tarek-oberdieck/ I'm posting here because Tarek is famous/great enough that this should be of prime general interest. (It was of even more interest to me as I knew...

Dear Farsight, please update your leaderboard webpage at http://www.pinballarcade.com/Leaderboards/ . It has leaderboards only through Junk Yard, i.e., it doesn't have them for Lights Camera Action or High Roller Casino. Hopefully, this only requires changing a 46 to a 48 or something like...

Inspired by the "where do you rank" thread, I have attempted to rank all TPA players, or those that show up on the website's leaderboard, anyway. I gave 100 points to a player for having the #1 score on a table, 99 points for the #2 score, and on down to 1 point for the #100 score. Scores...
