[QUOTE="Deltaechoe, post: 126064, member: 3508"] Great table to learn on in TPA would be funhouse, it's a pretty forgiving table. I will say this though, when you first start playing pinball it's going to be a bit painful, pinball is a game of extreme skill. None of the pros flip around randomly as it leads to inaccurate shots which frequently end up being bricks (hitting something poorly leading to a nearly impossible to save drain), but if youw ant to play like that you have to practice. It took me a long time to get even decent at pinball games and as far as TPA goes, I was bloody awful for the first month despite being relatively competent on real machines. Give it time and you will find that you are improving, and look up advanced pinball techniques (warning: live catches don't work well on TPA, use a post trap instead) and make it a habit to use them to hit difficult shots and/or combos Also, to Sean Doncarlos, real TZ kicks my butt. I can make all the objectives on TPA but on a real TZ I have yet to even score a jackpot [/QUOTE]
