[QUOTE="danivempire, post: 126612, member: 3666"] When I was a kid there was not a lot of arcade place. There was in Brussels (yep, live in Belgium) but I did not live there. I was in a small Village. When there was a travelling fair coming (once a year), there was an arcade but there was no pinball. I remember putting coins to play a game like outrun but my feets didn't even reach the pedals ^^ Later, when I was like 15, I discovered those big arcade place. But I played mostly videogames. But I remember playing the addams family, a star wars table, and a few others... The funny thing, when psycho pinball came on pc, I was hooked to this game. Same for pro pinball! Loved it. About that, every time I came across a pinball, I played it but I didn't really aim or try to score. I was just throwing the ball all around the place ^^ At this period, my brother bought a "Flash Gordon" table, I played it a lot, and loved it! By the way if you read this Farsight, bring me "Flash Gordon" on TPA please ^^ In my mid 20's I discovered Visual pinball and later Future pinball, I played them a lot but in the end I lost interrest, their physics makes the tables unplayable if you want to score... In Belgium, it's really, really, really REALLY hard to stumble across a pinball game... Even harder to find one in a good condition. Where I went in vacation the last few years, there's 4 tables. Addams family, but turned off all the time, the table is dead... Lord of the rings, some mechanics are dead, makes it not fun to play... Attack from mars, in ok shape but playable... Ripley, excellent condition, but tilted in a way that the ball goes straight to the drain!!! It's crazy, when I was a kid I didn't really care for pinball yet they were available! Now that I love pinball, they're gone :( And a few months ago, I bought my first android tablet. And I thought, are there some ok pinball games on android? I thought the portrait mode would fit a table. And I stumbled upon TPA, tried TOTAN as free table, less than 30 minutes later, I had bought season 1 and 2! Come on farsight, give us more pinball, MORE PINBALL!!!! ^^ [/QUOTE]
