sweet awesomeness!!
and with 2 DLC tables every month, this is the "gift" that just keeps on giving!!! 
wow, it's as good as the videos showed. Great physics, great sound. I love that black hole even sounds a little muffled like it's vintage. These guys clearly spent a LOT of time making sure every single detail was accurate. I bet this plays great on an IPAD (not bad on an iphone). I too can't wait for the ps3 version.
I've seen press releases that say the Android version will be available today as well. I can't find it on the market yet, though.

My complaint for the IPhone is that it does not allow me to turn the phone sideways. The vertical position is too narrow and it is hard to hold the phone and control the flippers.
The games are not worth near as much on IPhone as they are on bigger platforms such as IPad and PS3.
I don't think I will download any of the games that are more than 99 cents for the IPhone. I will wait for PS3 and download most of them there.
Quoted from DCFAN:I don't think I will download any of the games that are more than 99 cents for the IPhone.
you might be stuck at 1 game then. I won't be buying them all on two platforms, either.
Yes you can turn the phone sideways and play that way, try again, I was playing that way last night...

Nothing happens when I rotate my phone.
$10.00 is expensive? Oh what has the world come to haha....
It's not just another pinball game, it's the best pinball game ever made....and will be even better when it's released for console. There is nothing better than playing REAL games and not imaginary made up ones....well expect for playing actual pinball of course..
I am not saying that it is expensive, I am saying that it is not that special of an experience on the IPhone. It is hard to comfortably hold the phone and press the screen with both hands. Also, the screen is so small and that does not help.
The PS3 version is so much better (i.e. the Williams Collection). It is a mere novelty on IPhone to me.
Downloading now for the Iphone!
Will this app now also work on the Ipad or do I need to download that version separately?
Quoted from coasterguy:I like zen pinball better so far. I also can't believe on TOM I have a fricken' credit dot! WTF? A credit dot on digital pinball!
Did you set the clock?
I honestly wish the pinball had more weight to it....with the framerate of these things the ball can get lost when it starts moving too fast.
iPhone just seems too small of a platform to be any fun imo. The iPad2 version is pretty kick ass though. Can't wait to see what else these guys come up with.
I'd say this is about as good as it gets for pinball on our mobile phones.. it'll never be as great as the real thing, but it certainly beats trying to take 4 full sized pinball machines onto an airplane

Well said!
Quoted from romulusx:Will these games be available for Kindle Fire?
yep, thats what Im beta testing on.
Quoted from davewtf:can't stop playing TOM.
Uh oh...

You got that right!
I use a strange logic on the new games that haven't come out yet...
Monster Bash was listed for most of the williams collections before they came out, including the newly released 3ds one, it COULD be first, but I doubt it even if they do have the code done.
CV - we heard from someone on the boards that farsight bought a near mint of the game just for the purposes of making it into a game, then later farsight said on their facebook that it would be coming.. I think this one is most likely first.
AFM I'm surprised didn't also come on Williams collection.. Since Williams currently has a slot machine by the same name, could this back up the launch of it as emulated pinball? I figure this will be the last one.
I also think they may launch existing gottlieb/williams games inbetween with updated programming, and hopefully some more that they haven't told us about yet.
Sure would like to see Kingpin or BBB on there, but that requires a Capcom deal.

Sweet do you know when?
Just bought it for the iPad. The games are awesome all four of them. Love TOM as I have the pin
Anyone else show Leaderboard on the free version? Logs into my Facebook, but then says its not. I had a nice 47 million score which for me is good!
I'm having fun with it. Black Hole seems like it plays much too fast. Wonder if they have the physics set the same as they are for the others. Think there should be less of an incline and lower powered flippers. Or maybe the one I play in real life is just really jacked up.
Greensborough
I would like to see my own leaderboard - So I can try to beat my own scores.
No point me trying to get on the external leaderboard when others might be using devices like the iPad that make it a little easier.

Quoted from Jeffy777:Android version is out now too.
Is it out for Kindle Fire?

I don't think it's in the Amazon store yet, but you should be able to install the regular android version if you turn on the option in your settings that lets you install apps from other sources.
Picked it up on my iPad 2. Got TOTAN and TOM.
TOTAN sometimes freezes up for a second or two during play - anyone else have this problem? I closed all my background apps. TOM is fine.
Really fast physics. Controlling the ball near the flippers takes some getting used to. They feel steep and it's tough to bounce the ball off them.
very cool rendition on the ipad 2. Felt a little expensive to me too. But then again, free pinmame is what I'm used to. I would prefer 2.99 for app and .99 a table thereafter. Assuming they are taking games in pinmame and converting to this emulator. Nice job regardless.

They build each table from scratch and run the original roms in their own emulator. There is a fantastic making of video on pinballarcade.com
