Digital Pinball Competitions

[Lroy]

Just installed TapaTalk app on my iPhone as I’m finding it quite cumbersome to use my iPad2 to post anything but the most rudimentary text. Hopefully, I can properly tag people and post images too. Wish me luck (Luddite here ).

These are my current scores for the April non-PBFX3 table competitions. Will endeavour to improve on all of them before the end of the month.

Also here are the current PINBALL FX3 table tournament rankings for CHAMPION PUB (well, accurate to last I checked):

Think there’s 2 days left to run on this tournament. Still time to get a score in once the PBFX3 servers are back up of course

And so our PINBALL FX3 tournament for CHAMPION PUB has now ended. Here are the final rankings:

We also had an entry from SpringheelGreg playing on PS4 which secured him 6th place:

Thanks to all who took part, plenty of members of the Adult Switch Gamers Discord posted scores, as did folks from the Pinball FX3 Discord and Nintendo Life forum community. We were delighted to see ShutYerTrap of these here pastures also be kind enough to get involved. This tournament saw some astounding scores at the top, the winning score would even rank extremely high on the global leaderboards for this table.

Tatanak will now have the honour of selecting the next table and creating the new tourney in-game on PBFX3. I’ll share the password to join here once I have it.

Next PINBALL FX3 Tournament is open. Tatanak is your ‘created by’ host and the p/w to join is: ranger

He has chosen THE PARTY ZONE. 10 Days, Classic/Arcade set-up. Enjoy!

Note: if you are playing on PS4. Please post a screenshot of your high score on single-player, Classic/Arcade 3-ball.

[from Wikipedia] The Party Zone is a solid-state pinball machine released in 1991 by Midway (under Bally) designed by Dennis Nordman and programmed by Jim Strompolis. It is in a single playfield format and collaborates characters from previous pinball machines. It is the second pinball machine released after the Bally-Midway division was sold, yet still operated under the "Bally" name.

The backglass as well as the playfield contain characters from previous games (who all meet up on this game at the Cosmic Cottage):
- The Party Animal from Bally Midway's 1987 Party Animal
- The Party Monsters from Midway's 1989 Elvira and the Party Monsters
- The Party Dude from Midway's 1990 Dr. Dude And His Excellent Ray

NOTE: If you need any help to join this tournament, let me know and party on!

Thank you to all who took part and warm welcome to the new faces making their PBFX3 Tourney Debuts with us here. If you are reading this, please do come introduce yourselves.

Huge congrats to our winner @TUTE_PRIMUS whose winning score would rank him about 4th in the Global Leaderboards for this table. Another outstanding display from @OO1OO1OO and @Tatanak [MENTION=5728]Stuzz[/MENTION] @summerwind achieved impressive scores too.

Apologies once again to those that featured at the bottom of the screen. On this occasion [MENTION=7657]Corneel[/MENTION] PBFX3 has a bug whereby the last person’s score often disappears and it also does this for the top position. Often I have to take a screenshot just prior to the tourney ending to ensure I get all players scores. Wish they would bloody patch it. Hence why your score is separate and alone and enlarged

And the three tables for the May tournament are:

AC/DC | available in the Pinball Arcade and Stern Pinball Arcade

AC/DC perfectly captures the head banging vibe of one of the most legendary rock bands in the world, AC/DC. Designed by Steve Ritchie, the gameplay centers around 12 unique song modes based on the band's biggest hits, including Back in Black, Thunderstruck and Highway to Hell. Complete them all to play the spectacular Encore wizard mode. Tour, Album and Jam Multi-Ball modes can be played separately or combined for huge scoring! The playfield is packed full of features including the Hell's Bell swinging newton ball pendulum, a molded Rock 'n Roll train, the Underworld lower mini-playfield, a TNT Detonator, a moving band members diorama and a rotating ball cannon.

TEE'D OFF | availble in the Pinball Arcade

Designed by Ray Tanzer and Jon Norris, this Gottlieb table features a humorous golf theme and a mischievous gopher, reminiscent of the movie Caddyshack. Players are challenged with completing rounds of golf in order to activate high scoring multi-ball modes. It has an extensive set of rules and great features such as the roulette Gopher Wheel, a Volcano up-kicker on the playfield and the animated gopher named Gunther, who sits on top of the back glass and shrugs his shoulders in sync with audio that taunts the player. 3,500 units of the table were produced.

SPOOKY (2017 remake) | available in Zaccaria Pinball

You can post screenshots of your highscore here and you will be added to the leaderboards (see links in my signature) Have fun!!

Cheers [MENTION=7657]Corneel[/MENTION]

The AC/DC table is the Premium version. Also SPOOKY remake tourney for ZACCARIA is using our usual set-up of simulation physics, 3 balls.

If others here are taking part in any of these digital pinball competitions, including our PBFX3 tourney on THE GETAWAY: HIGH SPEED II do drop a line in here to say hello. We’re getting some new faces on the leaderboards and be cool to know who you folks are.

Cheers.

Rather fortuitously you can actually buy the AC/DC Premium table for 50% off right now on the USA eShop for Nintendo Switch.

That's probably worth $9.99. My Switch is right behind me. But I vowed not to spend cash money on TPA on the Switch, after spending so much cash money on PC and Android. Oh, decisions!

 

[Lroy]

At least you have the choice. Us punters in the UK don’t seem to ever get discounts on TPA or SPA. I just want the option to buy FLIGHT 2000 as an individual table.

Oh and whilst your here, play along in these high-score competitions and post your scores

There was an epic battle going on for first place but well done once again to the world renown digital pinball player Tarek for an incredible victory.

Warm welcome to the new people participating for the first time in this tourney and many thanks to everyone who took part.

We’ve got a mystery on our hands as to who the player is at the bottom. It’s their turn to pick the next table, so if this is you please make yourself known.
