I'm enjoying Microsoft Pinball Arcade. Slick Chick is one fine EM machine, and Haunted House is a great example of early 80s goodness.

Haunted House is actually legally free in the download trial of the game (still hosted on MS' website) and it runs fine on newer OSs. I played it once but didn't spend much time with it...I'd be happy to if you geta score thread going That's a good choice for group competition (and a reminder I should pick that collection up for the PC).

In a few minutes of nosing around online I discovered that in May/June Pinball Arcade will add:

Medieval Madness
Bride of Pinbot
Cirquis Voltaire
Funhouse

also on the horizon:
Monster Bash
Attack from Mars (!)

the DLC is supposed to sell in packs of two tables for $2.50 each, which is awesome

Downloaded Zen Pinball last night. Holy crap, when resources are actually invested into a Pinball game, magic happens.

Zen Pinball/Pinball FX (same game) are a lot of fun - but I really prefer the Pinball Arcade stuff for whatever reason. That said, I really do need to try out some of the Marvel tables to see what I think.

Oh, I discovered yesterday that this is 5 minutes from my house:

I played the demo for quite the long time then I found the new sealed copy on eBay and snapped it up. The other tables are just as good, and the EM sounds and mechanics are emulated perfectly. Despite it being a Win95/98 game it runs perfectly on Vista. I still am playing Haunted House the most on it now, just because it is such a well made game and it reminds me of the equally awesome Black Hole.

Good to see Medieval Madness and Cirqus Voltaire to make the list coming up. The DMD on the latter to put it inside the game was a smart idea and I liked how it was integrated into the playfield.

If they're gonna have Medieval Madness, they need to have Attack from Mars which I see is on there; both were designed by the same guy.

Theatre of Magic - 1,956,048,790

1,133 overall on the world ( and 500 mill up on dsheniem - until he sees this)

just saw it....turning on Vita....NOW!

So it took me almost two weeks, but I finally got you by a measly 200K or so...

...now to work on Ripley's before going after that obscene Arabian Nights score.

Also, I think we should start creating some pinball high score threads for older games. What games would people like to compete in?

I would be interested in high score threads.

I, personally, have the Pinball FX stuff on the 360 and Pinball Arcade on PS3 (and have zen for 3ds).

Just let me know which tables/games to target and i'll purchase them.

Do it! Errr, how much? Seriously man, talk about freaking bragging rights.

It is at Knoebel's, so I doubt they'd sell it. But at 5 plays for $2, I can have a lot of fun. Those machines run $5K plus on eBay, and I'd rather have several machines for that price. I could play over 12,500 games for that price

I do plan to at least inquire, though...

The arcade at Knoebel's is so endearing.

I know a guy in York that has 30+ pins in the back portion of his auto repair shop. I'll see if he allows me to take some pictures next time I'm over that way.

Ripley's 39,936,110

Got ya here too, now

I probably won't get to Arabian Nights until the weekend, though...
