Table Pack #72 Speculation Thread

[HotHamBoy]

We already have Cyclone, lol.

Bump up Space Station to the upper tier; I've played it at ReplayFX and it was a fun game. Great music and effects too.

Grand Lizard has more or less the same layout of Solar Fire. I've played both, but I'm not sure if we want Solar Fire in here as well.

BACK FROM THE TX-SECTOR OF THE DISCO PINBALL DIMENSION!

Oh you're right, for some reason I was thinking of Comet.

System 11 is probably my favorite era of machines. I don't think they're the best but there's just something about them that's so kitschy and appealing.

Rollergames, Radical & Fire are probably at the top for me of the remaining System 11s.

Mid tier: Mousin Around, Space Station, Jokerz, Big Guns, Cyclone, Game Show - though I've barely played Space Station so I'm just going by that impression. Cool design.

Bottom tier is Road Kings, Police Force, Bad Cats

#NeverBadCats

I've never played Riverboat Gambler, Millionaire, Pool Sharks or Bugs Bunny

I can't remember if I have played a Grand Lizard. I think if I did it was a rough one.

IMO all the other top-tier Sys11 tables are already in TPA.

Bugs Bunny is terrible. Like abomination bad. Riverboat Gambler is cool, and I believe I like me it better than High Roller Casino. Been a while so can’t say for sure.

Millionaire is the other real System 11 dud along with BBBB. From the theme to the art to the sound to the shallow, repetitive gameplay, it's just a snoozefest. Just grind out those multiballs and locks for your rewards on a pin that has about as much personality as a bar of soap.

Not that I have anything against Grand Lizard, but I'd rather have Solar Fire.

Riverboat Gambler is sadly overlooked. It's a pretty unique game for the time. I don't think it would translate very well into TPA though, particularly with the roulette element.

Bugs Bunny is notoriously bad. Millionaire, on the other hand, I've played at an arcade expo, and two words sum it up best: completely forgettable.

Never played RG or PS before, but if they're in the same tier as the other two, we're probably not missing anything.

Anyway, I too would like either Fire or Mousin' Around as #72. However, seeing as how we just got Banzai Run, my guess is either a DMD (most likely either another SPA port or something out-of-left-field that's been in high demand, like The Shadow or Congo) or Embryon (since it was in contention with Paragon to open season 7). I highly doubt it'll be a Premiere or an Alvin G., because if nothing else, they at least try to start each season on a high note (see: Paragon, Indy 500, etc.).

So is banzai run not supposed to be released today?

Next Friday (March 9th), according to [MENTION=3799]FlippyFloppy[/MENTION] in this thread: http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/13165-Any-word-on-when-the-new-table-is-dropping

We should be releasing next week. We ran into several emulation errors over the past few weeks and we've gotten through most of them but we should be good to release next week.

When have errors prevented a release?

Seriously, thanks for the update.

First off, under my devices it says PC. I use DX11 exclusively. Right now TPA is on 1.69.4.

EATPM-crashed upon starting all five times I tried to start it. Unplayable-yes. Rhetoric? NO!
Haunted House-crashed upon starting all five times I tired to start it. Unplayable-yes. Rhetoric? NO!
GB-Has a terrible stuttering frame rate not present prior to 1.68.xx. It's still playable (I'll give you that), but not very much fun, and reaction times for flippers are messed up. Rhetoric? NO!

I'll not disagree that "unplayable" is an overused term, and I'm guilty of it as well. But the first two examples are perfect.
I still play Road Show despite the horizontal line across the table (can also be seen in pro mode table exploration).

Had Haunted House crash for me last night, still no background music, but I had achieved a wizard goal and when I drained my last ball it immediately crashed and gave the pinball11.exe not responding message.
