    RAM Allotment

    I know nothing of programming but I know that in some games there are ways to make games work more smoothly when you're able to allow the program to use more RAM. Can this be done in order to avoid the game from slowing down from time to time?

    Scared Stiff "Secret Passage" Wizard goal

    Anyone know the best way to get this? There isn't really much flipper control and I can't seem to find a way to reliably shoot the ball softly from either flipper. That's the big thing, too. Both flippers can shoot into the passage, but I know one is going to be much better than the other...

    Anyone have a game they find hard that a lot of people say is easy?

    I've read quite a few posts in which people talk about easy games that last forever, such as "The Twilight Zone". What?! I have all the tables and this is one of the hardest and most frustrating to me. Please, someone agree! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! Also, have you experienced...

    Mixing games on real life tables

    I wasn't previously aware of this, but apparently you can put pinball game software on a totally different table. I frequent a bar that changes tables pretty often (3 at a time) and yesterday I went in and found that they had gotten a Shrek table. Apparently, the other regular players were...

    Owning the same tables on more than one format

    I would love it if you could purchase a table and use your account to use it on different platforms without having to purchase it again. I totally get that that would never happen but it got me thinking. Do any of you own one or more tables on more than one platform. If so, do you feel like...

    Tilting your monitor 90 degrees

    Has anyone tried doing this? I'm looking for a house right now and when I move in, I'm going to have my monitors wall mounted. Does Pinball Arcade take advantage of this or will there just be large black spaces above and below a smaller picture?

    Best table to practice tilting?

    Growing up, I was the person that never shook the machine because I was afraid something bad was going to happen (stupid, I know). I only really started to use this ability during pinball games when I started playing them on the computer. I always think too late to do it while playing on my...

    Release of packs

    I would love to buy tables from season 4 but I don't want to purchase individual tables. Anyone know when the first pack might come about?

    Season 3 availability

    The main menu now shows the Season 4 folder and then the Previous Seasons folder. I clicked on the previous seasons and it said that I had purchased all the available tables. I don't have any tables from Season 3 (I plan on buying them soon). Anyone know what's up with this?

    Volume option!

    I'm not sure if anyone has brought this up before but, I would love to be able to set the volume level on the game, not just turn the sound on or off. I have 2 displays and the other one is often running a movie or tv or something. The two compete for the attention of my ears.

    Wizard goals for Bride of Pinbot

    I'm on the last one where I have to score at least 600,000 point from the Pinbot value. I realize that what makes this difficult is that when you shoot the ramp to get there, most of the time it goes toward the bride for the main objective. The only strategy I can think of is to purposely lose...

    Table of the month

    I just noticed that there's a table you can play on for free every month when I read the newsletter. I play on OS X and was wondering how you go about playing. The current table is Dr. Dude (which is awesome because I only have season one right now) but when I went to the table in the season...

    Finding local tables to play on

    I got addicted to pinball when I went to college and they put one in the student center (Harley). I was hooked hard after that and I started going to the arcade near me. It had been there for years but I was never as arcade person. They always had someone on staff that could fix their tables...
