[QUOTE="Jeff Strong, post: 63659, member: 3"] 1. Before TPA, Farsight made other pinball video games on various platforms under the title Pinball Hall of Fame (PHOF). There were 2 PHOF collections: [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball_Hall_of_Fame:_The_Williams_Collection"][B]The Williams Collection[/B][/URL] and [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball_Hall_of_Fame:_The_Gottlieb_Collection"][B]The Gottlieb Colletion[/B][/URL] (check those links for a list of tables from each, as well as other info).
