Eight Ball Deluxe

[David T. Melnick]

invitro,polls are like Galahs !!! have your say in what tables you like and let others have there say.what you think are a bunch of great tables might be different to others.my fave table is Taxi,i haven`t got stupid written on my forehead,but I know Taxi would not be most peoples top 40. but you know what ,I love it.

Great point...for me, my faves are key tables from the late-70s to early 80s. Sure, there are others of other generations.

Anyone know what the next table is? I didn't get the newsletter.

Who's on first?

EBD is the sequel to one of my all-time favs...like many have said, the table really *looks* fine. Call it simple if you wish, but I would've happily fed quarter after quarter after quarter in it, playing IRL. And that sound you heard was the sonic BOOM created when the ball shot off the right-hand bumper of the lane leading to the bonus multiplier drop targets.

And the clue for the next table, it didn't take me 12 tries to figure out.

Don't blink...

I did, actually, feed quarter after quarter after quarter .....

This is one case where TPA's version is harder than the real-life game. A good thing.

If you like sonic booms you may have something extra to look forward to in about a month...

Never understood why we got CBW at all. Must be the dumbest pool representation in the history of pinball

It has one of the weirdest themes ever created. Let's see ... how would I describe it? A country-western/cowboy/Dirty Harry pool table with video games? And a moose? I played it with Microsoft's original Pinball Arcade software and I didn't get it then. I still don't get it, but it makes me laugh and I guess that's a good thing.

bearing in mind that I have an unreasonable dislike for Black Knight

The real Black Knight is one of my all-time favorite tables. The TPA implementation, though, is poor and Farsight seems to have little interest in improving it.

I think eight ball champ should be in TPA as well. Different layout than EBD.

One weird theme: you're in a crazy funhouse with a deranged dummy shouting at you. Your task: put the dummy to sleep and then sneak into his basement to steal his jackpots. While you're doing that, eat as many hot dogs as you can.

I get all these 1980's pool tables mixed up. Besides EBD, we've got Eight Ball Champ, Laser Cue, Bad Girls, Rack 'Em Up, Nine Ball, and Pool Sharks. Good grief! I think I played Pool Sharks several times. I don't think I've played Eight Ball Champ, but it looks interesting to me, and Tony "The Mad Italian" Ramunni is an artist I like too.

Look at the guy dead center in the backbox. Look at what his left hand is doing. And the guy leaning against the bar in the background.

Also, there's Zacc's Pool Champ game as well.

I used to play a Bally Eight Ball pretty often when I was young. It was the one with Fonzie on the backglass from 1977. But I much prefer Eight Ball Deluxe.

Would like to +1 this post.

Pool ball shots are spread out and fun to snipe. Has a lot of the same call outs as EBD

That upper right flipper seems a bit superfluous.
