    What's the music?

    So, to my surprise, the music from this game featured in an act of Britain's Got Talent tonight. Now unless someone on the production team there is a huge pinhead, that leaves me to believe that the music on this table is not original. Does anyone know what the track is? Namely the "main" theme...

    How do the Challenge Mode leaderboards work?

    Apologies if this has been discussed already, but I've been playing the Challenge Mode as it's recently been added to PS3. I wanted to compare my Season One score (say, 800ish) on the leaderboards but when I looked it up my score is marked as 12 million? Where is this number plucked from? It's...

    Strategy!

    So I just became the 17th member of the 9,999,999,990 club so I thought I should share some strategy. Not much to do once the score is maxed, but not too many people have got there yet, so decided share :) I do like this table a lot more than I expected to. It's not typical for a SEGA in that...

    What am I missing?

    Okay, so I've been going back to this table every so often and trying to understand it. I've been piecing together the ruleset, but it just isn't clicking. I understand the main aim of the game is to win the board game. I have tried countless times but have never managed to - it just seems like...

    The ultimate buzzkill

    So after being brutally assaulted by this table, I finally lay down a 12 million game. Not a tremendous score by any means, but just enough to put me in the top 100. I log on to the scoreboards to check my position. "You must be logged into PSN to view the scoreboards". I checked. I was logged...

    Cellar Hole Standard Goal?

    Okay, so I'm finally catching up with TPA, but due to life I am ages behind and playing through the last few tables of Season 4. I'm trying to unlock the wizard goals for Safe Cracker, but having no luck as the standard goal for the cellar award isn't popping. Can someone explain how to get this...

    My absence

    Hey guys, know I've not been posting here properly for a while. There's actually a good reason for it. My job used to be boring, and I would mainly post on this forum to fill the spots where I didn't have anything to do. But after pestering my manager for a long time, in April I got the chance...

    Apparently this is now a top ten table

    I know the IPDB ratings are questionable, but I just noticed that BSD has entered the top 10. Think this is justified? Is it that good? One of the nine best tables in TPA? (We have all of the top ten bar Indiana Jones, and that isn't happening soon :()

    Is Super Mario Bros any good?

    So I've finally been given permission to rent a pinball machine for one of our monthly games nights at work! Pretty awesome! However, I haven't played any of the games I could choose from. I was given Meteor, Checkpoint, Super Mario Bros and X Files to select. I have played X Files and don't...

    Anyone seen this fault before?

    Bit of a curiosity here. So a local comic book store in my town got three new machines put in, and they're on free play (I'm assuming just as an introductory thing, but you never know!) They had a T3 there, which I started to play. Immediately something was wrong. As soon as I fired the first...

    Bug Side ramp takes a long time to eject

    I'm not sure what caused this to happen, but after maxing out the side ramp shots (it maxes at 69 for some reason, I'd have expected 99), each shot to the side ramp caused the ball to stay at the top-right of the table, waiting to be ejected. Only on a ball save did it finally trigger. This...

    Theoretical - Save Transfer?

    I know this is probably an impossibility, but I would like to double check. I will probably get a PS4 in the next year or two, and will get TPA on it, probably as my primary device. I know I'll need to rebuy all the tables, I'm fine with that. But the thing I'm not looking forward to is getting...

    My thoughts on the last four tables

    So I've been stuck indoors with a broken foot for the past two weeks, and it's given me a good chance to catch up on video games. I bought the last four tables Zen released, and instead of breaking it all up into the different topics, I thought it would be more concise to post it all here. Sue...

    Fantastic Value!

    I missed the memo that Zacc was now on Android, so downloaded it over the weekend once I found out. I was expecting a free table to try out, astounded to see the entire collection is free to play! And the £14 for premium features for all tables, present and future, is a fantastic offer, so I put...

    Things that are harder in TPA

    So everyone complains about the things TPA makes easier, but what about harder? There are a few things. I'll kick them off. Upper flipper shots (where you can't catch the ball). On a real table, I lean in for a close-up birds eye view and get a pretty good aim. On TPA your view is a bit more...

    Four flipper buttons? Outlane and centre drain plugs?

    So my local arcade has installed a Ripley's, and after having played it for a while I've started to notice some things that seem strange. First of all, there are four flipper buttons. What are they needed for? Also, there are plugs for the outlanes and centre drain (not sure what the correct...

    The things Farsight put up with...

    So a few weeks ago, the group "PlayStation Pinball League! (Zen Pinball 2/Pinball Arcade)" appeared in the suggestions for me on Facebook. It had about 300 members. I thought "can't do any harm to have some extra friends to compete against", and joined up. When I got access to the group, I...

    Bug Dirty Pool-esque Exploit

    In multiball, hit both balls into the saucer (through the spinner or hole), one after the other, so that the balls collide while one is still in the saucer. This sends one of the balls off the table and it gets reset into the plunger. But there is no autofire on this table, so it just sits...

    PS3 - Bug Special Wizard Goal Doesn't Register

    Completed this goal twice with no luck. The first time I thought it was because I cut the animation short by pressing both flippers, but tried again and it still didn't work. I'm on PS3 - I assume it's specific to this console otherwise it would have been reported already? Can't imagine I'm...

    Fun Table

    Went back to this one a few days ago, and it's really easy to just dip into and make satisfying progress. And I really like the layout - getting the ball jammed between the bumpers and drops is incredibly satisfying. And the ruleset is quite different to the norm, which makes strategy a bit...
