Dumb thing I noticed

[Nesbro]

So obviously we all know that the legal agreements for the table rights in TPA prevent Farsight from having modified tables. But there's something ironic about that. Some of the pictures of tables on the menu seem to have mods installed on them...

Medieval Madness seems to have lighted flipper buttons.

...as does BOP

And Gorgar has the lighted buttons, as well as some sort of lighted launcher.

Last of all, HRC seems to have a die-themed launcher mod on it.

These aren't really annoying me that much, but I just found these weird and wanted to point them out. Feel free to correct me if any of these were just standard fixtures or photo effects of some sort though. I've only seen MM in person out of all these, and I don't recall the one I played having lighted flipper buttons.

EDIT: Also, now that I remembered, could someone tell me what that "Welcome to Lost Legends" thing on BOP's display is about? Is that some sort of Wizard mode I haven't gotten to?

With regard to the lights on the flipper buttons, I'm pretty sure this is just some red blume on the photographs. Notice how the DMD also has a blume around the DMD/AN displays.

You'll also notice that BoP seems to have a glowing start button, which it doesn't in real life. I'd say it is a product of touching up these images before embedding them as the game placeholders in the menu.

Regarding the custom Die plunger on HRC, that must have been on the game when they originally purchased it, but they would have had to remove it when making the virtual table.

Some tables do have mods or alterations featured for various reasons. Scared Stiff has a painted textured bony beast by accident, as they didn't realise it was a mod when they digitised it. I believe it was originally a planned feature, but removed, and modders put it back. CFTBL has a couple of songs removed due to licensing issues. And the Ringmaster in CV is slghtly different due to the artist copyright, but I can't remember if it was that way on any real tables or not.

...and the Addams Family they've purchased is as far as everyone can tell a regular cabinet with the LE (Gold) ROMs installed in it. Are they going to have to find some original ROMs or are they okay to go with what they have? Was it a deliberate purchase so they can do both? (The rest of this speculation belongs in the Kickstarter thread, methinks ;-) )

It would be cool if they did both. I don't think it's too far-fetched to say this is the most important table they've done so far. FS needs to stick the landing.

For cftbl I missed some kissing scenes. This can't be because of the rating, can it?
Only play uw's awesome VP version anyway.

Scared Stiff is a funny one. I remember playing several SS tables in different locations that featured grey and black painted Bony Beast bones. These were fresh out of crate tables as well. Unless all the tables I played in the day were protos or something.

The ability to use "special" pinballs that don't even exist in real life is a bit of a contradiction to the mission statement of this product.

Yeah they should take that feature away as soon as possible

^This!^

Why not just ignore the feature?

Apologies if this was sarcasm...

What would people complain about?

 

[Kratos3]

It's too bad they can't sell mods for tables as add-ons. That could be lucrative.

Removing the custom balls. It's win-win.

Totes sarcasm

And lulz

Addams family will have the normal look and the normal roms, even though the machine they have is addams family pyrite edition. the emulator framework doesn't care what the roms are.
