    When will the next Pinball Arcade table be released?

    I should have been more clear. I didn't mind getting Spanish Eyes at all (and Wild Card which I had never played) and of course assumed more Gottliebs would come later, and when i said all i should have said that much of the discussion in the forums wanted to see the [perhaps limited in number...

    When will the next Pinball Arcade table be released?

    I, too, haven't checked in here for a while and was just curious on any news. It seems TPA is dying a slow death which sucks because it's been a big part of my entertainment for six or seven years. I just wish they'd take advantage of the Gottlieb license (assuming they still have it for new...

    Stern The Beatles Pinball

    I was hoping there'd be a ramp to shoot the ball up to the Apple rooftop. I'd prefer either a pin that has elements from their entire career or a full on Yellow Submarine theme. We'll see how this works out.

    Arcade 1Up Mini Arcades

    I'm enjoying that same Atari 12 game unit. Really enjoying it and I like being able to walk up and play it anytime. My only issues are slight audio lag and Missile Command is bugged for bonus cities [correction-it's set to start with seven cities, i.e. one bonus city which it gives when you...

    Arcade 1Up Mini Arcades

    Yeah, if the button layout proves troublesome that's the backup plan.

    Arcade 1Up Mini Arcades

    Yeah, that button configuration is my biggest worry. I considered maybe just getting the separate asteroids and centipede ones, but the price savings for the deluxe is too much and it includes the riser. I even did mock ups based on the pictures and measurements to test hand placement. I...

    Arcade 1Up Mini Arcades

    I ordered the Atari deluxe cabinet that comes with the riser. Considering the controls and the cabinet, I think I'd be out more than $400 plus time and trouble if I did it myself. For classic Atari, it has the games you need, in my opinion, so it's good value. And...it just works.

    Is this it for Farsight / Pinball Arcade?

    Top five Gottliebs to do first that seem to be my and several others favorites (not in any order): Spirit of 76, Royal Flush, Atlantis, Surf Champ, Abracadabra. A symmetrical multi-player, two asymmetric multi-player, a symmetric single player and an asymmetric single player. Five classics...

    Farsight must counterattack!

    At some point didn't Stern include digital rights in contracts when they secured licenses? I don't remember when that started it or if it's been consistent.

    Farsight must counterattack!

    I actually prefer the Sterns of this decade more than the 2000's and more recent ones like ST and AC/DC I like more than most Williams/Bally from the 90's (MM, T2, and AFM not withstanding). I think Farsight is in a strong position with the Sterns and Gottliebs, although I won't marginalize the...

    Is this it for Farsight / Pinball Arcade?

    Obviously, the loss of WMS/Bally licenses is unfortunate, but the ability to do (modern) Sterns and classic Gottlieb EM's seems like plenty of material. I know their output is reduced this year, but if they can churn out 4 or so Sterns a year and 4-6 Gottlieb EM's, my wallet is open.

    FX3 WMS Wishlist

    I really would like to see Comet, Space Station, and Fire. Actually Comet plus System 11's would be nice.

    Just south of Mandalay Bay and on opposite side.

    Pinball HOF in Vegas Relocating

    If you didn't see, the PHOF just purchased a new site on the south end of The Strip (for 4.6 million) to build a massive new facility. Tim Arnold says he has over 800 machines in storage so might as well get them where they can be played (current site has about 250 machines). Don't know the...

    Leaderboards NEED to be wiped on PS4 & other platforms possibly...

    I'm never a fan of destroying information (even if there is some questionable data), so either archive and reset it or much better to just add in the Current Year leader board that gets archived and reset that each year, which was suggested earlier. No separate leaderboards, but add the option...
