Learned how to embed. Thanks, Jeff!

Looks great. Is it just me does this seem like a new "night time" lighting mode for this table? It seems particularly darker than other tables released so far.

This table has some really colorful artwork in the light. Hopefully they are still working on the optional daytime lighting. I really like how it looks though. Great job.

Also am I crazy or do the flippers seem to look... different? New flipper physics?

 

[ER777]

Wow, that does look fantastic. Are they doing something differently now with the lighting or texture rendering or something? I agree that it looks somehow different (maybe better) than previous tables.

Now that theres a gameplay video the release cant be that far behind surely? (Fingers crossed for Farsights 12th day of Christmas Updates, still 2 more to go!)

Played the real table yesterday, hugely fun, but it was dirty and unloved.

 

[xAzatothx]

Played the really table a few months ago - loved it. Looking forward to TPA release.

 

[Ark Malmeida]

Looks great! I was hoping that there was an unannounced table in that row of tables shot in the beginning but they're all released already. Darn!

Any chance we might see something like this included?

It'd obviously take some co-operation from the ColorDMD guys, but I wouldn't imagine it'd be too hard to implement. Could be a bit taxing on CPU on top of emulation, though. I'd love to see it happen, even as a pro-only thing! Maybe even on the MM one as well:

Would love to hear how feasible it could be from the FS guys themselves *wink wink*

Unfortunately, I think I read somewhere that it would be in violation of their license if Farsight included things that weren't part of the production run, so a color DMD is pretty much out of the question.

Fantastic looking! And I'm liking the warm GI under the slings.

 

[Bass Mummy]

Looks great. Can't wait to give this one a shot as I've never played one IRL.

Same here. Looking forward to trying it. Everybody always claims it as one of the all-time greatest tables, but it looks so plain and empty to me that I'm going to have to try it to "get" it.

Hopefully the Vita version doesn't arrive broken.

This is the table that really got me addicted to pinball. And then tables started becoming more and more scarce.

Sad to think how many years I wasted playing video games! Asteroids, Berzerk, Defender, Defender Stargate, and Robotron gobbled up most of my quarters.

When I saw TPA for the first time, I immediately checked if AFM was in their plans. It's going to be a long few weeks waiting for this one to finally arrive!

 

[Clawhammer]

Very excited about this one; a solid collaboration between Brian Eddy and Lyman Sheats Jr. Vid looks great and if if STTNG is any indication, this table should be even prettier and bug free than those that came before it. I may be in the minority but I'm excited about Genie as well. I hope they make it fast- a widebody like that can end up being a real slow roller if not set up right.

 

[Pinballwiz45b]

BUG: Only the front side of the scoop can only activate features, except for Martian Attack.

 

[Mark W**a]

Pretty sure the second table this month is pinbot not genie.

 

[superballs]

It's Genie

 

[xNiCeGuYx]

Looks good! Hopefully it will be as hard as MM is!

I just had a look at that video footage. I must compliment farsight for this AWESOME movement of the martians and the center spaceship!!! These wiggling movements look so real it's simply amazing! They even keep on wiggling less and less until they stop. Fantastic! Details like these are making a table even more attractive!!!
Just a little thing though. The metal attachments for the 4 martians are missing.

AFM is such a blast to play. Lots of funny lines, nice artwork, one of the best when it comes to DMD animations, and a simple rule set that is playable from ball one. A fun, but not overly difficult table. Much much easier in real life than TZ or STTNG in my opinion.
