[QUOTE="Logan812, post: 258339, member: 827"] I've played all of these in Birmingham, AL. Of course, I have played many other tables elsewhere, but none of them are featured in TPA. [B]Williams:[/B] Gorgar - Plays pretty much the same except the ball isn't quite as "loose" as in TPA, but that goes for real pinball in general. Black Knight - Obviously much different considering the TPA version of BK is TERRIBLE. Seriously, it's pathetic. It's actually a very addictive, challenging, and fast game IRL. It's one of those early-mid 80s tables that prove you don't need tons of rules and modes to have a good pinball game. Also, this particular one I played is upgraded with LEDs and looks pretty sweet. Fish Tales - Is as fun as always. TPA does a very good emulation of it and gives a good idea of the real thing. Of course, it's still very challenging. Medieval Madness - Easily my favorite from this bunch of tables both IRL and in TPA. This particular one had a color DMD installed. Plays more or less the same as TPA except the catapult shots are a little more difficult when actually aiming for them (plus, the ball doesn't teleport into the catapult shot when it's barely close to it like in TPA obviously.) [B]Stern (Including Stern Pinbal Arcade):[/B] Ripley's Believe It Or Not - A little more difficult IRL for the one I played, but mostly because that table is in need of maintenence and has to go into ball-search often during gameplay. Also, the shrunken head almost never leads to the upper flipper while the vari-target releases at an odd angle - making penguin loops and slot machine shots a lot more difficult, but that's the way it is. It's a mechanical game after all. Mustang - Plays about the same. AC/DC - Pretty tricky although not in a fun way, and not one of my favorite modern Sterns despite being an AC/DC fan. Star Trek - Fun game with fun rules. The physics feel a little off in Stern Pinball Arcade in general though. It's almost as if they just copied the physics from an older version of TPA. Ghostbusters - Same as Star Trek. [B]Gottlieb:[/B] Cue Ball Wizard - The flippers on the one I played didn't rotate ridiculously high so I had to be more careful compared to TPA. Genie - It's Genie... That's all you need to know, really. [/QUOTE]
