Theater of Magic is my favorite table, I think that might have been an original one. Bride of Pinbot is also a great get and that was is definitely a purchase one.SpaceBooger wrote:I have the original tables and then bought the Black Knight/Creature tables. Any other tables that I "need" to own, or am I good for now with these?

Re: Video Pinball
Looks like Taxi and Harley Davidson will be the next pack. When you download the new tables those show up but ask you to download/purchase (but it leads to a dead link on the store). I got excited there for a second that we got FOUR new tables with this recent release.

Taxi!!!!!! A great machine from the 80s and properly pop-culture referenced for that time too.

Re: Video Pinball
I recently purchased Revenge of the Gator for Game Boy, and it's a lot trickier than I remember it being when I was a kid. I can't even beat the minimum high score. The physics are impressive for a Game Boy game, but there are probably too many bumpers and things - I tend to feel like I have no control sometimes, when the ball just bounces all over the place, then straight down one of the side lanes into oblivion

I don't know how you do it on some of these. I think I put around 6-8 hours into Theater of Magic just to get the score I have now and I'm still a ways off from DSH. I guess Pinball's not my forte.

Re: Video Pinball
this is how I feel about a few of s1mple's scores, though what is more infuriating is getting so DAMN close and just not getting over the hump.Stark wrote:Pinball Arcade tables where I'm beating the pants off of you two: 0dsheinem wrote:some friendly fuel for the fire:

Also, Bride of Pin*Bot is a shit table for scoring because of the ridiculous bonus, so don't bother wasting your time on that one for points.
Re: Video Pinball
I love that game. There's a pool hall in the burbs near one of the places I have to go for work that has it along with my other favorite pinball machine medieval madness. I always stop there for a few hours if I'm about to get stuck in rush to kill time.ExedExes wrote:Taxi!!!!!! A great machine from the 80s and properly pop-culture referenced for that time too.

Last time I was there I was taking with the owner about arcades and things and it turned out his sister owned the arcade my dad used to take me to as a kid and that he knew my dad. Small world.

Re: Video Pinball
Oh man, my No Good Gofers score was topped? Not going to lie, I check my friends leaderboard almost every time I play to see where you guys are. Thanks for the summary. I've got work to do.dsheinem wrote:some friendly fuel for the fire:
