    Flipper lag

    Am I the only one experiencing flipper lag on the Xbox One TPA? I have TAF and t2 from Kickstarter rewards, and both have serious flipper lag compared to the iPad version. I estimate about a 200ms delay between pressing the trigger and the flipper actually firing, which causes me to miss all my...

    Kudos, Farsight - great reproduction

    White Water is one of my favourite pins of all time, and I've played hundreds of games on dozens of real-life machines. Farsight did a bang-up job reproducing this one. It's terms of gameplay, it's spot-on even in some of the smallest details. The difficulty of the insanity falls / bigfoot...

    Speculation on cause of multiball camera bug

    I got bitten by the camera bug on Dr Dude again today: during multiball the camera got locked on the MixMaster and I was unable to see the flippers again until both balls drained (iOS 6, iPad 3). I have an idea what may be causing the bug on this and other tables, though. The clue was that I...

    Idea: use credits for leader board entry

    Here's an idea to add some excitement to the leaderboards: what if you could only post a high score if you get it with an earned credit? You'd have to win a replay, match or special first, and then that game could qualify for a leaderboard score. This would give some use to credits, and add an...

    Platform: iOS Table: Twilight Zone Device: iPad 3 OS: iOS 6 Bug description: If the Spiral door panel is running, shots to the Right Ramp give spiral awards. Steps to reproduce: Get the Spiral award from the Slot Machine, Piano or defeating the Power. Then shoot the right ramp. You'll get a...

    Video: Pinball Love

    Some great photography and action shots of many games in this YouTube vid, including several from TPA (inc. Funhouse, Twilight Zone). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT3TTRgxTDM&hd=1

    Taxi: Strategy and Tactics

    1. Keep shooting the airport ramps to score Airport Rides until Million is lit. 2. Collect the Million at the Santa saucer. 3. Repeat. Er, that's it. Jackpots aren't worth enough to worry about, given the risk and the fact that they're hard to collect anyway. (Unlike Jackpot, the Million...

    Out-of-date ROM being used?

    I read in Keefer's rulesheet for NGG that "Newer ROMs should tell you in the status report how many kickbacks you have lit". But the status report on TPA shows no such information. Does this mean that an out-of-date ROM is being used? That might explain some of the gameplay bugs... It's a shame...

    iOS - Bug Bud gets stuck in the raised position

    During Ripoff multiball, Bud routinely gets stuck in the raised position, blocking access to the center ramp. You'll see "Shoot centre ramp for jackpot" in the DMD, but that shot is impossible with him blocking the way. He'll jiggle around a bit when he talks, but he'll stay stuck in the raised...

    iOS - Bug Problems starting followup game

    In 1.1.8, starting a followup game never worked. If you finished a game (entering initials if necessary) and then pressed the yellow START button, the camera would pan around the full game, but a new game would never start. In 1.1.9, you can start a followup game, but there will be problems...

    iOS - Bug Wheel graphic misaligned

    Really enjoying this table, despite having to play at a low camera angle (4, which I otherwise never use) to get a good view of the upper flipper. Seems solid so far. One minor issue: the graphics on the Wheel are misaligned, so that the Putt Out award never matches what the "Wheel Award" light...

    Bride of Pinbot: Tactics and Strategies

    This is a pretty easy game to get 1,000 GameCenter points on. There are only three shots you need to know: * LEFT LOOP: At the beginning of every ball, aim for the left loop (between the Shuttle Ramp and the Heartbeat Ramp). Your goal is to get the Extra Ball, awarded for four shots in quick...

    Joust sound effects

    Anyone else noticed that Gorgar shares several sound effects with the video game Joust? (Especially noticeable during the bonus countdown.) Do other tables of the era also "borrow" sounds from other games?

    iOS - Bug Some minor physics bugs on MB

    First off, let me say that far and away this is my favourite table on PA right now. Now that the camera bug is fixed, it's a ton of fun, and it feels just like a real table. The fact that the ball launch varies which D-I-G lane it lands on is a great touch. Great job on the implementation, PA...

    FarSight, please don't fix the MM flipper gap "problem"

    I've seen several complaints (mostly from the same couple of people, over and over again) about there being a "bug" in MM that the flippers are too far apart. There's no bug. Even if the gap between the flippers in PA is wider than in the MM flyer, remember that photos from flyers are taken...

    iOS - Bug Idol 1-2-3-4-5 lights

    The "3" light under the Idol is broken (never lights). (On the iPad 3, at least. Camera view 2.) By the way, anyone ever figured out how the Idol 1-2-3-4-5 counter lights are supposed to work? They're meant to count the number of Idols you've collected throughout the game, but for the life of...

    iOS - Bug Troll bombs used automatically

    Noticed this on the latest iOS version (on iPad 3) last night -- although you can now use Troll Bombs, you don't really have much control over *when* they are used. Every time you shoot a Troll, all your remaining troll bombs will automatically be consumed. Last night I got "3 Troll Bombs" as a...
