    Williams tables on iPad - best way to get them

    I got a new iPad and now the Williams tables are a blast. No slow downs anymore, everything is smooth. The pricing scheme though was invented by a pinball hater from hell. I donˋt mind the stars to get new features, but how on earth can you play the tables for a reasonable price, e.g. max 5...

    PC: What is the FIRE button on the keyboard (e.g. for ACDC or ST:TNG)?

    This is for the STEAM version. I am sure this question has been asked before but I can't find the answer. Which key will trigger the cannon? Also, when I go to SETTINGS and then Keyboard/Mouse, the corresponding keys are not shown anymore and instead (NULL) is displayed. My own key binding...

    Pinball tables as mnemonic helpers

    Lately I got interested again in memorization techniques. One of the most famous is the "method of loci" where you use locations to vividly store whatever you want to memorize. Now, as a pinball fan, why not use pinball tables? They provide plenty of cues, from the raw table layout to the...

    Bug TPA (Steam) crashes right at the start

    It's telling that nobody has mentioned the startup-crash bug here - or maybe I have just missed it. It's been some months since my last game and I wanted to play TPA again. What happens? The game doesn't even start but crashes right away. :( The guys at Steam have figured out the reason and a...

    Medieval Madness: real vs. TPA vs. Zen

    As I haven't played MM in real life, which implementation is closer to the actual table? E.g. in TPA if the ball doesn't make it up the peasant ramp it will drain in the center. Not so in Zen! There, the Dragon/Damsel ramp is more dangerous and harder to make while in TPA the ball has no...

    Maybe it's time to move on

    After the mess with the licenses and the sudden rush to buy tables before they are gone, it's easy to forget that there is also another option: say good bye and move on. As you know I wanted to buy the tables for the PS4 but what happens when the PS5 comes out? Will FS allow a transfer of the...

    Does the Season 1 pass include the core pack?

    The title says it all. I plan to buy a PS4 next year as an upgrade from the PS3, which means I have to buy the expiring tables right now. An option would be the physical disc for season 1, which has the core tables, but disc drives don't last forever. The one in my PS3 has died 3yrs ago. :( Or...

    PS3 - Request A plea for an update of the US PS3 version

    It's hard to be a Farsight fan if you are on the PS3. The latest update end of September brought us the season 6 tables (yeah) but it seriously broke the GUI. I am patient as long as I can play and enjoy the tables. This has been taken away. I just tried yesterday but after 4 games the waiting...

    No love for the Playstation

    For an outsider it's pretty clear that something is going on around the Playstation. Releases used to be done 3 times per year. There is only one so far in 2016 and you may ask what has happened. Answer: the new GUI on mobile devices. :( Bugfixes on the PS4 take forever. And we talk about...

    Bought a new tv, game looks amazing now

    Finally decided to buy a new tv and I am blown away by how brilliant TPA looks in 1080p! In 720p some tables are really fuzzy and suffer from low-res graphics but not in HD. Awesome! Also, the brighter colors make for a brand ew experience. I really should have done it earlier. :)

    iOS - Bug Table stuck in attract mode

    Okay, I think I found a pattern: When I score a local highscore that awards me 2 credits, the table stays in attract mode. The "update leaderboard" message doesn't appear and you can't do anything but force-closing the app. This happened on MM and Totan. I am not ready to handle the ball...

    New season 5 tables are out on the PS3

    Yeah. :) The 3 are quite different: F14 is great, after playing a couple of games the other tables just feel slow. The clean layout and simple rules make for fast action. Frankenstein looks good too, there is a lot to do and the theme is nice. The Getaway I am not fully digging yet. It has a...

    Funhouse

    Had the chance to play Funhouse this weekend. What a mean table! The kickout for instance always spit the ball SDTM unless you raised the right flipper. A lot of shots from the right flipper also resulted in quick drains. It really takes some time (and money) to adjust to it. The table itself...

    Request Audio enhancement

    This has been discussed before: why isn't it possible or allowed to improve the audio on the tables? A good audio engineer would do wonders and it would make a huge difference.

    PS3 Season 3 Wrap Up

    Now that season 3 is complete, at least in the US, what's your impression? In the past I usually didn't think twice when it came to buying table packs but for 5 bucks per table it's a different story. 3.1 Fish Tales An original theme but the table can be so punishing that it's no fun. It looks...

    Pack 19 + 20 PS3 screenshots?!

    Can anyone post some screenshots of the latest packs? I first have to put some money into my US PSN account, which will take a while. I am curious how the tables look this time!

    Your thoughts on Whirlwind (PS3 & Vita)

    What's your impression so far? I tried the Champion Pub on iOS and didn't like the theme (it's a matter of taste). I am really interested in Whirlwind though. Is it worth getting the pack because of this table or are there any annoyances one should be aware of? Amazing how every PS3 release...

    PS3 TZ Kickstarter Supporter Tournament is on the way

    The TZ Kickstarter Supporter Tournament is on the way and only few people are participating on the PS3 (10 people vs 200+ on the other devices out of ~400 who are eligible). Where are you guys? :) An official Update of the kickstarter project won't hurt to let people know about the tournament.

    What are the easiest "no-nudge-required", "no-cheap-drains" tables?

    What are the easiest "no-nudge-required", "no-cheap-drains" tables? What do you think are the easiest tables where no nudging is required to keep the ball alive? Where skill counts more than luck? I was trying some of the tables on my friend's iPad and many of them immediately disqualified. I...

    Demolition Man - what's the appeal?!

    At the place where I used to play ST:TNG they have now exchanged the table for a "Demolition Man". I tried some games but couldn't get into it. Awful art and it's basically ramps all day long - or what am I missing?
