For the most part yes. It is the most widespread of the pinball emulators, and every table mentioned in the past few pages is in it. My only issue with it, is that on the PC it does not support multiple monitors. Personally, I only use Visual Pinball for tables I cannot get on Pinball Arcade. Some tables, like Doctor Who, Goldeneye, Popeye, and Rocky and Bullwinkle, are unlikely to appear on Pinball Arcade due to licensing or just not being popular.

Despite my love of 80s and 90s tables, I am still trying to get an 70s EM table. Big Top and Dragon have both popped up for sale, for sub $400, just 8 hours away...

I might have to start playing that, then. I love pinball, but rarely ever play. I think I actually have P.A. on PS3 for free from PS+.

You definitely should - what's your PSN ID?

Only Tales of Arabian Nights though. Which is a great table, but it is no Pat Lawlor table...

Class of 1812: 17,085,530

Struggling to really put up a big score on this one. Probably need to read the table instructions (which I always forget are there).

Re-downloaded Pinball Arcade on my PS3 this morning. I do remember playing this. I only have the four starter tables at the moment, but I think I like Theatre of Magic the best. Got 231,063,230 just messing this morning, enough to get me on the bottom of the in-game high score table. Yayyy! I do remember getting over 500 mil before on this though, but I think I deleted my saves. :?

If you play this on PSN (*cough* RSG) and we're not friends on there already, add me (TSTR_12)! I wanna see how I stack up. :mrgreen:

I know I want that ST:TNG and the Twilight Zone table. Do they ever run discounts on these things? :?:

Season 4 kicks off with Phantom of the Opera, the first Data East table to appear on TPA, out now on mobile platforms and Steam. Already went ahead and purchased the season pass before they rescind it again like they did last season :lol: I had enough Amazon coins this year to get it for free :)
