Farsight should do a Kickstarter for a new physics engine, haha.

I would say that the one thing that makes TPA much easier than real pinball is that the flipper hits the ball like it's a baseball bat. Wouldn't that interaction make your chance of a live catch much smaller?

I think you guys are crazy! Revenge of Rob-o-Bot has got no background, no problem!

As if Sandy wasn't bad enough, the poor Silverball Museum was subjected to an earthquake during the filming of this commercial.

The music under the logo (at least in the Android version) isn't right for coming out of tiny speakers. It's fast strummy guitar. It sounds like noise. Kinda embarrassing on the train when I forget the volume's turned up. How about silence?

Yes.

Haha, I would like physically modeled wood sounds. I guess they just start a sample whenever the ball comes rolling down the playfield and then the sample stops as soon as the ball stops or changes direction.

OMG, I knew the Brits' speech impediment caused them to say jaguar "jag-you-are", but I never in a million years would have thought they said "cent-tuh-are" or something. TPA Centaur's outlane save is a little bogus. Maybe I'll get the knack of it. I did it a couple of times and it looked like...

IMO, virtualizing rare games is not where it's at. Nostalgia is a major factor. So is learning rules for real life play. If I've never played it and won't have the opportunity any time soon, I'm way less interested.

I missed Addams Family. Saw Keith give everybody a free pinball lesson on Dude, though. What a monster.

Upright Coffee also has Indiana Jones and Demolition Man. A block away is a place called Swine that has Funhouse on free play. And $8 beer. Edit: My bad, was in the neighborhood today. They removed Indy and Demo. And that Funhouse is way messed up. A lot can happen in two weeks.

I used to not get the reversed touch nudging on Android, but I guess it's so you can save SDTMs w/ the opposite thumb that you will use to flip. Amen for upward nudging.

I don't get why people play landscape on mobile.

Another vote for Funhouse. The physical show, like, the unification of plot and theme there, is way better than any DMD thing. Plus the "Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy," afterwards is always like "Yeah, my thoughts exactly."
