[QUOTE="Nightwing, post: 96679, member: 976"] So I finally made it up to The Pinball Wizard Arcade today in Pelham,NH. I have to tell you - I was not disappointed!!! :cool: I'll post my overall thoughts in the appropriate thread,but I have updated my 1st post in this thread to include the TPA tables that I played for the first or second time today. Here are the new additions to my list: (though I was bummed that Black Hole wasn't set up) [B]Gorgar[/B]: I actually did okay playing this - which made my enjoyment of the table grow by a fair amount. My time playing this in TPA really helped. [B]Harley-Davidson: 3rd Edition[/B]: Again,my time spent learning the rules of the game helped me here. I had fun playing it! (It wasn't a 3rd edition,but rules and modes are the same,so I included it here) [B]Genie[/B]: Widebody goodness! Except for one thing...which will cover the rest of the pins except for CP,which I'll talk about at the end. Anyways - a pretty table,and again - knowing what I needed to try to do makes the fun factor go up. [B]Dr.Dude[/B]: Not a bad table,though I died on it pretty quick... [B]Firepower[/B]: I've only played this once before IRL,so I was looking forward to playing this! I was very disappointed that while the sound was fine - there was no voice...otherwise, a fun challenging table. [B]White Water[/B]: Again,only the second time playing this IRL. Kinda knowing what to try to do really helped the fun factor here! I had a lot of fun especially playing WH2O,and I can see why so many pinheads rave about the table. [B]Champion Pub[/B]: Easily the highlight of the day for me in regards to the TPA pins. Again,learning the ruleset makes a world of difference with the fun factor.Having never seeing a CP in person before today - I now see why the TPA table looks the way that it does. Thing I liked the most? I'm [I]horrible[/I] at the Spittin' Gallery video mode on TPA. At least on iOS. It took me forever to finally pass that goal on TPA. Played one game today,got the mode - perfect score! At least I know I should do better when I finally play it on a console... All in all,I had fun - but the main difference between TPA & the real thing showed its ugly head - and it was the !%#< STDM shots. What minor skills I do have playing tables did come back to me somewhat - but you can really see where FS has "tweaked" the TPA pins to not have so many of those happen. I'm not complaining though - [B][I]I had an AWESOME time!!![/I][/B] If you ever get the chance to go there - you'll have a lot of fun! [/QUOTE]
