Best Table of Season 3

[Kolchak357]

For shark video mode I set the ipad down in front of me and perform a drum roll with my index fingers. You don't have to rely on that launch button, you can use the flippers. Since I discovered that, I'm batting .900 getting away from that fish.

Yes ^ this. And also start before it seems like you should. That way you don't miss any potential swimming.

I'll probably get tarred and feathered for this but I chose who dunnit or who wants it. I remember fish tales from the arcade and while I think the fishing theme is lame it's a great table. So....junkyard and fish tales are my favs. LCA really grew on me and I find myself playing a few games at least once or twice a week. I like the artwork. Even though it's busy I find it attractive (for some reason).

I have never been caught by the shark. It must be easier on Kindle.

Hats off gentlemen !

I've wired an old Track & Field cabinet up to my PC solely for the purpose of authentic button mashing during the Shark video mode.

Note: I may have been lying about the T&F cabinet.

But I digress... sort of. My preferred button mashing technique was the roll-up-your-fist-in-your-sleeve-and-swipe-across-the-buttons-as-fast-as-you-can technique. Great in the 100m. Not so great in the hurdles.

Only fish tales i like. The rest i did not buy.

So hard for me not to vote for the moment.
Still waiting for Diner and BSD on PS3.
I expect a lot from Diner.
Never really liked Dracula IRL.

 

[The Night Flier]

BSD nor Diner hasn't been released yet but i know i will vote for BSD no contest for many before stated reasons.Since BSD, very deservedly, is already getting a lot of love i'll gladly lend my support to WhoDunnit.A very underrated table with a magnificent theme and gameplay.Its only flaw being that it perhaps is just too easy.But who cares when you're having so much fun?WhoDunnit?TPA!Thx a lot and here's to many more!

 

[The Night Flier]

Probably Black Rose (Even though I hate pirates, this game is still really fun). But I pity voted LCA because it isn't bad as everyone says it is and is in my top 5 for this season.

I wouldn't put LCA in my Top5 for S3 but nevertheless it is a fun table.S3 has no bad tables as far as i'm concerned.

I was listening to The Arcade Outsiders Podcast earlier this week and they had a guy on who had a Twin Galaxies World Record in Track & Field. He mentioned the game could only handle 30 button clicks per second because of the frame rate of the game. He also mentioned he would use 7 fingers on the controls while playing. I saw also that you are from Mechanicsburg EldarOfSuburbia. I lived there and Carlisle in the mid 1990's and played Arcade games at the malls in Carlisle. Some weird beer rules in those parts also.

7 fingers?Nothing.I use 11!

We said FINGERS !

Ahhhhh FINGERS!

10th : LCA (again could have been better if they wouldn' mix cinema and playing cards...)

Yeah, what is up with the whole card game b.s. It's like someone thought of the joke "we will have 10 and it will be a chick because she's a 10, and then we will have the Queen and it will be a gay guy... GET IT! Ha, because he's a queen" And then they built half the table around that stupid joke.

I really think Dracula is overated, just like T2, but I still like them a bunch. My favorite of this season is most definitely Junkyard, for the nostalgia (I think I saw it once) and for the crazy theme and fun gameplay.

T2 is definitely overrated. Junkyard is too confusing for my taste, its better than Harley Davidson but similar. Tons of modes, no real rules, terrible video modes. Extra modes are supposed to be fun in Junkyard they feel like a punishment. Black Rose is like that for me too, the shark, swinging from the rigging, its not fun. The idea that in the year 2001 they were putting crappy mono-chrome looking video games into a pinball machine always seemed so stupid to me.

Dracula's only interesting once you've gotten all 3 multiballs active .... or also, when you have 2 of 3 multiballs active and you are desperately close and frantic to start the 3rd. when you have all 3 going, your score can really skyrocket and this table kicks some ass...

great movie tie-in, great call-outs.... best table of season 3 for me

hmmmmm.......... how come? One of the if not the most simple one from that era. Collect 10 pieces of junk in random order or select them if you want to start certain adventure sooner. And that's it.

Because the awarding of the junk seems random too. And there are all these weird unclear modes, the toilet, the wrecking ball, the hippie bus, the dog, stuff is always happening but I never have any idea what is going on. Look, a toaster now use it to shoot toast at the dog? It makes no sense to me.
