    Eight Ball Deluxe

    Finally. My RL pinball experience was in 1981. This was my second favorite machine after Paragon. Glad to see the table is as fun as I remembered.

    Re: lighting up cities...the souvenirs only count if you've been to the city. Once you've been there it doesn't matter if you go there again. That's all I meant. I haven't played in a while, but I'm fairly sure there's no souvenir bonus foe souvenirs from cities you haven't visited.

    Should Farsight get rid of the pause feature in TPA?

    The pause function is huge. Without it, I would play less because I'd hate to lose a big game if I got interrupted with a phone call or something. Being able to pause means I know that even if something comes up, I won't have to drop a big game.

    Bug Hall of Fame points are not registering correctly on multiple tables

    I'm up over 18k, with plenty of upside...though I dont think you will ever have to worry about a challenge from me! A few places away from cracking the top 50 on Game Center! I still remember when top 100 seemed an impossible dream.

    Bug Hall of Fame points are not registering correctly on multiple tables

    Congrats, Slam! You've been working for that for a long while. WTG.

    Obligatory strategy thread. :)

    Invitro -- Not enough! But yes, my best scores happen when I get there more than once. But I've never been as many as 4 times. I think I'm figuring out that I absolutely must master the wheel scoop. I miss that a lot, which means fewer locks, and more missed opportunities to enter the bank...

    Obligatory strategy thread. :)

    The frustration is that it seems out of reach to top the AOTV score with a normal score, but that means less incentive to stick with it. No advance in either HOF or leaderboard in the foreseeable future. That said, I did go back and play again, and pushed my normal score up to 3m. So maybe I...

    Obligatory strategy thread. :)

    OK, so I've played this a bit today -- haven't gotten the rules fully mastered, but the game feels intensely frustrating to me. I had a good AOTV -- 5.5m or something like that. If Tarek says his best on that is 6.5M, then I'm close to my upper limit there. But I can't get anything going in...

    July TotM Groupings and Results

    Ugh! Horrible day...just wasn't up for playing pinball today and it showed in my results!

    July TotM Groupings and Results

    I just played using the one shot rule. Yes the ball drained after hitting the skill shot. My plan was to redo the games if that rule isn't adopted. But, really, you'd be doing me a big favor if you ruled out those scores! I'll keep them unless you say otherwise. On to the other tables. We...

    July TotM Groupings and Results

    I'm just did a warm-up on TotAN, and also had the EB problem. Not crazy about the tilting solution. How about saying we can make one shot and that's it? Btw, It's entirely possible that in my official games I won't even get to the extra ball. TotAN still kicks my arse.

    Just signed up. I thought there was going to be a rule exception for Big Shot allowing extra balls. At least I thought there had been some talk of making an exception there...

    End of Season 1, Start of Season 2....Share Feedback

    What Slam said. It was TotW that got me started posting here, and playing pinball is more fun when you get to know some of the players high up on the leaderboards. The format of the TotM definitely adds an element of chance, but that's part of the charm. Everyone has a shot at a good result...

    HOF-leaderboard not updating

    Pinbot is definitely easy. I got 1000 HOF points long before any other table -- before I even knew the rules for that table. But I disagree with Gus about the super hard tables. I've been playing Class of 1812 a bit and kicked my high score up to #502, worth...68 points! Ive got all the...

    Table of the Week Club...Week 24: TALES OF THE ARABIAN NIGHTS

    Well, I added 35m to my previous high of 104m. Woo hoo. Up to #8110 on the all-time leader board! Yeah, yeah, but at least now all my tables are in the top 10,000! This is one of a few tables where I knock out the wizard goals pretty easily, but still score badly overall. WhiteChocolate...

    Table of the Week Club...Week 24: TALES OF THE ARABIAN NIGHTS

    This table kicks my arse. I've tried all the various strategies, but just don't have enough ball control to really get anywhere. So. Frustrating!!!!

    Strategy for this table.

    I've played some more to see if I could give you an answer, but I really don't have one. It's not that I never lose balls coming out of those bumpers. It's just that I do so more rarely than I do from other shots. I'm getting better at the superblast shot off the fire in the hole hold, but I...

    Strategy for this table.

    That's what I was trying to say! Still working on pinball lingo! Here I think it's a matter of skill. I've tried to add in the super blast shot to the combo: left ramp, left ramp, right ramp, catch on flipper at fire in the hole and then... for you shoot Super Blast, get good things. For...
