Sorry for the double post...



There are two entries for some reason, one marked as unavailable, but the other is downloadable. Look for it in the add-ons section on the game's page.

This was really strange, on my Vita there were two entries, both unavailable. If I logged on to the store through the web browser on my computer, there were two entries both unavailable.
Finally, I checked the store on my PS3 where one of the entries could be downloaded, and after that I could grab the Vita version through the Download list...

Anyway, problem solved :)

What's interesting about the "pink" in Tee'd Off is that the floorboards are a noticeable amount pinker than on Haunted House. as if there's an UV light sitting above it.

Not that I find the pink a huge issue. As long as it plays well I'm satisfied.

I don't like Haunted House at all. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I like tables with some sort of multiball in it. Haunted House is interesting with it's 3 level play field but that's about it.

How is this not a direct ripoff of NGG though?

It's really not. It has a hole in one type shot but it's nowhere near as satisfying as NGG. It actually has it's own uniqueness with trying to spell gopher to start multiball. It's a fun table.

But still the most obvious reason that its not a ripoff of No Good Gophers is that Tee'd Off came out years before No Good Gophers.

You're also missing the part that makes them similar. It is not layout or rule sets. It is general theme. Snarky gophers in a golf setting. Otherwise known as "How can we make a Caddy Shack pinball machine without paying any licenses?"

Played the pack last night.

I expected to like HH but my first impressions of it were that it's a bit dull. The playfield is wide open with nothing but targets round the edges to shoot for. And the attic and basement are too difficult to stay in long enough to get a good score. I like the theme, and it does demand you rethink things with cradling impossible on half the flippers (the number of times I landed in the basement only to cradle on the left flipper...). I often find tables grow on me the more I play them, so I will continue trying.

Surprisingly I really liked TO. The layout is quite unique, and the rules are simple enough for it to be a table to pick up and play. I had a lot of fun with it. Haters gonna hate.

And I have to admit, as annoying as the samples can be, I did burst out laughing at "He addresses the ball..." "Hello, ball!"

HH unfortunatly have some frame problem like ToM.
Please stop to put old tables in pack :(...with no multiball on it or display...there is a tons of better tables recent like Terminator 2.
I prefer only one table but recent.

I tried learning both of these tables by playing them all week, but they're both pretty busy and neither does a great job of guiding you through their rules, so I didn't feel like I'd really gotten a handle on them; Tee'd Off was kind of fun, but confusing, and the theme sometimes irritating, and Haunted House...well I felt like I was just bashing the ball around aimlessly. Finally sat down and read the rules today, and now my appreciation of Tee'd Off is way up--once you know about holes in one and tee shots or whatever they are then you always have something to shoot for to progress, and there are some interesting twists to some of the modes, and some nice shots for advancing them--and way down for Haunted House, which basically comes down to point-blank bashing of two small banks of drop targets using reversed flippers, over and over and over (especially if you aren't chasing extra balls). Bluh.

My issue with HH is that it's completely empty, not busy. The main playfield is just a big coffin, and the mini-playfields are too difficult to stay in. Give me Black Hole any day.

Besides the colors, nothing about BH is fun to me.

It's one of the games on TPA I play the least.

Its all subjective but BH with its lower playfield death sentence and having to power up the playfield before you can make hay suck a lot of the fun out of the table for me. HH has way way way better flow to it even if it's just about shooting for the spot and drop targets.
