Hey all.
We got to chat with Mel for over an hour the other day and really got to dig into some topics that needed clarification. Episode premieres Saturday April 10 at 9:30am PDT with myself and Jared being live in the YouTube comments. You're not gonna wanna miss it.
Okay, so if you've listened to the podcast, you know I have an Arcade 1Up Street Fighter II cab that is on long term (possibly permanent) loan to me. The owner essentially did a RetroPie to the thing, except he used a PC so he could have Steam games on here. He upgraded the buttons and...
I'm assuming everyone read this last week when Zen posted it to Twitter and Facebook...
A pinball message from our COO (Mel Kirk)
Hi everyone, I know this has been a very slow year for pinball releases -- oddly, the slowest in our 13-year pinball development history.
Behind the scenes...
In our podcast, I suggested that it’d be cool, though costly, to be able to pay for DLC on an individual table basis to get the actual film score music in Zen originals rather than the generic music. I mean Jaws is not Jaws without that theme. Jurassic Park is sorely missing that oomph from...
From Zen...
To help keep those spirits high, we'ver created a special care package to offer hours of free Pinball FX3 content inspired by the iconic creations of Lusasfilm Ltd., Marvel, and 20th Century Studios. This package is absolutely free until April 8, and all nine tables from these DLC...
There is a merger happening between CBS and Viacom that just got approved. Why should this perk up our interest? I'll let this quote do the talking...
A new company called ViacomCBS will emerge (pending the finalization of the deal), and brands like Paramount Pictures, CBS, Showtime, MTV...
This is a must read.

It has wide reaching implications. Even though it makes no mention of digital pinball, the cabinet Zen is going to be putting out into the wild this fall is going to...
Yep, I'm jumping into that whole Let's Play thang. I've heard many complaints about how difficult the challenges are and people getting frustrated over playing them. I get frustrated too, but I can bang them out fairly quickly on most occasions. Hopefully these vids will give some direction that...

In my daily ruminations, I started thinking about what it would take to start up a pinball arcade, what you'd need to have besides pinball, and how long it'd take to before you were turning a profit. I know nothing of leasing a space, setting up a business, nothing. So who wants to play along...
All day today I've not been able to play the app due to an error message that states "There was a connection error to the Game Server. Please try again later." Anyone else seeing this on their iPhone?
I have had it pop up for a second or two in the past, but this has been persistent today. I...

Yes, I realize this thread has been done before HERE as I just compiled the list and added it to the original post. Thing is, that was one of the oldest threads on...
I've been thinking about this, I've seen plenty of others mention it, so let's make a list! During challenge modes for 5 Minutes and Survival, which tables does the timer pause for and which don't? Does it pause for animations, during video mode, what? I'll start with what I know off the top of...

We've got our table guessing threads, but what we don't have is a thread in which to guess what visual enhancements Zen might do for future tables. Now that we have a good idea of the sorts of things they might do, let's speculate!
To start, I'm gonna look at the remaining non-licensed DMD...
Okay, I'm gonna go waaaaay down the rabbit hole here, so stick with me.
As some of you might know, I maxed out all 7 tables within 16 days of release of the app on iOS. What I didn't know was that Zen was running a few different models, where some people had easy collecting goals and others had...
Okay forum, Magic Pixel is about to release Zaccaria Pinball to the Xbox One. They want to answer any questions you might have about that release, but I'm opening the questions up to anything across all the platforms. So post your questions here in the next week, and then I'll forward them for...
