Quoted from Nilroc:

The only Stern with finished code?

Why not high roller casino that game does not seem like it will need much in the way of rights.

Now some of good games from the same time frame of Ripley likely have high rights costs.

Maybe grand prix but it's the same lay out as NASCAR.

To me it doesn't matter what they build next

Portrait mode isn't implemented yet

Oh they say it is... But it's so not.

I'd absolutely buy every game on PC but without full screen... Nah.

Quoted from Aurich:

Have they done any games yet that have more than two buttons? Just thinking about the phurba diverters in The Shadow.

Black Knight

Season 2 total crap:

El Dorado, City Of Gold.
Cue Ball Wizard
Victory
Goin' Nuts

Honorable mention crap:

Haunted House (Unrealistic play)
Central Park (An abomination for people who love EM's)
Tee'd Off (Uggh)
Class of 1812
Whirlwind (Something still seems screwed up here)

Okay, but otherwise forgettable:

Dr. Dude
Flight 2000

Good:

T2
Whitewater
Fire Power
Centaur
Cactus Canyon
Space Shuttle
Pin-bot
The Champion Pub

19 tables in season two, and over half of them were good. That's not too bad.

Portrait mode works, some tables have issues, can't see out lanes or center posts etc, but generally speaking it works. Needs polish though, I agree.

Generally speaking that sucks

It either works 100% or it's a half ass attempt

Well it ain't 100%

I'm waiting until it's legit, hope it happens some day.

Pretty sure I know one of the table authors maybe I can buy him a slice of pizza & expedite the process lol.

Thanks for this. That shines light on what's going on.

My theory is that they were overwhealmed with cash flow from good tables and decided to slow things down a bit. Too much money can be a real problem! See video link.

Victory was already made for game consoles. So that's why they finally released that.

Just because you don't like the table, doesn't mean that it's not any good. Feel free to do any programming that you feel they aren't getting around to i guess.
