[QUOTE="Trackball, post: 270061, member: 5924"] There's just one problem with this game, and yes, it relates to how it can be ported to TPA--it may be impossible. According to TV Tropes: "Due to an engineering mistake during design, the wireforms in the upper part of the playfield were smaller than normal, causing the balls to get stuck in them. The workaround was to [B]replace the standard 1¼" balls with smaller ones,[/B] making this one of only two pinball games to use 1" balls." This means they may have to come up with different physics...and before anyone says anything about the lighter golf ball and the heavier Hurricane Irene ball DLC, those balls still use the same standard size for collision purposes. That's why the Irene balls clip together in the TZ gumball machine, and why the golf balls seem to float in the same. Anyway, anyone know what the other one-inch-ball game is? [/QUOTE]
