[QUOTE="Nik Barbour, post: 33758"] I tried to get into VP a couple of years ago, but couldn't get it to work properly on my old Vista Laptop so gave up and played Pro-Pinball instead. Re-tried it again, about a week ago, because I wanted to practice TZ before getting my hands on the Real machine this weekend gone, realised I had to knock UAC off, and it worked at last. I was expecting something pretty crude but figured, it would give me a flavour of the table, instead of going in cold on the real thing. I was blown away by how it plays though, Wow! Once I set the view to Window as opposed to full screen, it just feels and plays so realistically. I downloaded a few more tables, and eventually got a Silver subscription. After the expo on Saturday, I came home (the missus went out on the pish with her mates, I was left babysitting) so sat down, and downloaded all my favorite tables I'd played at the expo, and was blown away how close the play felt to the real counterparts. I was even getting very similar scores between the two. I'm really impressed with this and have found myself playing with this more and more, barely touched TPA this past week. I don't know why this is so good, but my guess would be its created by Pinball Fanatics using their own time for non-profit, as opposed to paid programmers who may not even be pinball fans. Passion shows in everything! Can't wait to try more tables out now (thanks for your list Richard B), and maybe even have a go at creating something myself (I'm a CAD draffy by trade, with some programming experience, so should be in a good position to try). My 3 year old who loves playing pinball, would be made up if I created a 'Thomas the Tank Engine' themed table - bash the cr@p out of Diesel 10, cranky the crane playfield toy...... [/QUOTE]
