Is it really that bad? I do notice enough differences with real tables, but for a computer game I'm pretty pleased with the way the games work....
Probably a lot of people that play TPA never even played the real pins and don't know there are some things wrong or not working correctly?
I mostly use it for fun (when I'm not around a real pin) or for building up game knowledge of pins I don't have around somewhere to play....
Scores on TPA don't really interest me at all, as they are absurdly high compared to real pins, also if you buy a slow tablet you can get much higher scores very easily, and there is a lot of difference in consoles also probably, just the fact that you can use a controller for example.

CC13, oops I just realised that when you said it, I kinda thought Bone Busters was a late 80's but wasn't sure about Light's Camera Action until I looked it up on the ipdb. Sorry but if it's 1989, let's just say for this time their close enough to the 90's. Next time I will do my Homework before I post anything Pinball related. Either way those are my favorite Gotlieb games and I played all of them in real life, and Visual Pinball also.

the way people diss packs with early tables in them makes me want to strap them to a chair and play harley davidson for two days straight
You're so cruel....

I wouldn't mind that.
Seriously never understood all that hate that table gets. It's not very complicated, but it at least has nice shots.

No kidding.
I'd rather be strapped to a chair, forced to play Harley Davidson until the end of time, rather than spend a single day playing garbage like "Gorgar" or "Centaur". (Or just about any SS table)

And sometimes if you keep playing with a turd long enough, you´ll discover a little gold nugget inside!
That happen with Flight 2000 tonight. I decided to finally check out what that ridiculous mess is all about, and man, I didn´t expect to have such a great time. It took me a million tries to even start multiball, but boy, what a rush. Slingshot and spinner galore!
Me neither. It´s dumb, easy and mindless fun. I love the sound effects on that one. And the biker theme is actually executed pretty well. It´s cheesy, and quite a lot, but I enjoy it for what it is.
In general I don´t need every single table in TPA to be an endlessly complex DMD masterpiece. Sometimes early SS or EM tables can be simple, yet challenging fun. On many modern tables like, say, Monster Bash, I sometimes get a bit discouraged by all the STUFF I can (and haveto, for a high score) do.
Nothing like a little Big Shot drop target practice or some ridiculously fast Firepower sessions to sharpen my skills! If TPA didn´t have such a broad range of pinball styles in it, I honestly doubt I´d be playing it that much.
On many tables I just keep playing for a couple of coins, see if I can beat whatever crappy score I set previously, but rarely really focus on a single table for more than a few days at a time.

Personally, I think "Theatre of Magic" is the best table in the world.

You like to shoot at magic trunks, dont you.
Looking at the leaderboards there more people playing BS and Centaur then HD, DD or FH.

That's because HD, DD and FH also are crappy tables...

mmm, maybe not the best but surely one of them and definitely the most beautiful pin!
Here's mine:

After I've gotten used to playing IRL TOM, I can't play the TPA version at all. Everything feels so wrong about it, and 70% of the time, I have no control of where the ball is going. On the positive side, it's less easy to just repeat shots to the center ramp over and over.
It's a fun table, but far from the top, IMO.

Art and FX are absolutely top. The game however focuses just to much on the dangerous trunk, at least for my taste.
wo wo wo you hurt Gorgar and no class human !!!!! Centaur is the best table on TPA right now your "garbage" is my treasure.

I had no idea the inside walls of the machine also had art on them. Makes it look even more bombastic than it already does. I hope they fix this someday (it's missing in the iOS version at least).

Sweet.
Now look at where TOM ranks compared to where the tables you listed rank.
Case closed.
