I was hoping it would be Space Shuttle this month, but oh well. I have never played CC before, so that is good. I enjoy EM's but the iPad isn't the best platform for it.

I generally like EM's, but I can't get into Central Park. It is like playing a slot machine.

Quoted from Pafasa:

Too bad you didn't talk about the Mac lag issues. It is still unplayable.

have you tried hitting (CMD + control + F) to activate full screen? It seems to take care of my lag problems in MacOS.

#890 11 years ago

Well I do know I still get lag if I do full screen by hitting the green + in the top corner, but doing the keyboard shortcut I do not.

#894 11 years ago
Quoted from Pafasa:

I tried it with the keyboard shortcut! Success!!!!!
Still a minute amount of lag, but definitely not what I had before. I will try it out on all the tables I own. If it is good, I'll be downloading the table packs I don't have yet! Thanks for the tip. Too bad farsight couldn't have answered this months ago!
Thank You!!!!!

Glad it worked!

Quoted from s1500:

I like the fact ASK Homework, a company out in Europe, is now porting Zaccaria tables. Sadly, it's for iOS only. Farsight needs a bit of healthy competition, and they are doing it with lesser-known tables.

Thanks for the heads up. Just downloaded the Zaccaria app. Not terribly polished but a fun diversion. It is neat to see some of these tables.

Pinbot and Centaur are a lot of fun. The captive ball with inline drop targets on Centaur is awesome.

#976 10 years ago
Quoted from kidpinballwizard:

I was in the pinball arcade menu and this is what happened....

That happened to me last week just once. I haven't been able to replicate the error. I did have about 12 different apps open at the time.

Quoted from practicalsteve:

How about a kickstarter to get tables released on the 360? So sick of them at this point. I want the 20 bucks back I donated for TZ.

They said they are hoping to have all of the 360 tables released by the end of summer. They finally got some kind of resolution with the bankruptcy court regarding their publisher on the 360.

#1003 10 years ago

Per their FB comment:

"Xbox 360: As most of you know, we have been unable to release new table packs for the Xbox 360 since our Microsoft publisher declared bankruptcy last year. We finally have some good news to report- the publisher (Fillpoint/Crave Entertainment) has now filed a reorganization plan with the court and is scheduled to emerge from bankruptcy this summer. When this occurs we will submit all of the unreleased table packs to Microsoft for approval and release. We plan to offer discounted Season Packs on the 360 to make it easy for our 360 customers to get caught up on tables. Thank you for your patience as we’ve worked to get this issue resolved- it’s been as frustrating for us as it’s been for you!"

I don't have a 360 so I don't have a horse in the race, but just thought I would pass it along.

Ya Whirlwind is disappointing. I was pretty excited about it. Slightly good news though it looks like they fixed the never ending game glitch on Central Park.

#1022 10 years ago
Quoted from RobT:

The Mac version sucks.

Yes, yes it does. I was dumb enough to buy it a long while ago and I always check the 4 tables with the new update and I am always disappointed.

#1033 10 years ago

Not too excited about the next two if that is the case. We need some more EM's!

#1038 10 years ago
Quoted from Plungemaster:

Haha, i want to go the other way gov, lol. Give me 2000 and up pins please!

Ya but you can still play all of those on location in most cities. There are few places to play EM's unless it is one of the museums.

#1044 10 years ago
Quoted from SuperTurbo:

Farsight said that EMs are far more difficult to port because you must manually program the entire scoring system by triggering the cabinet and marking down what each trigger does. With the SS games you just dump the ROM file into a computer and you're done.

pity.

I haven't seen it show up on iOs yet.

#1071 10 years ago
Quoted from brent149:

I think goin' nuts sums up Gottlieb as a company pretty nicely. And I don't mean that as a compliment.

Gottlieb has some fantastic games, that just isn't one of them

Flight 2000 is fun.

#1112 10 years ago

HH and Tee'd Off would be a fun pack. I wish they would do Stargate or Indy 500. T2 is the best looking table so far IMO.

#1117 10 years ago

I actually enjoy Central Park quite a bit. Sure it is a nudging table but i have fun with it.

1 month later
#1173 10 years ago

If they are going to have System 3 tables I wish they would do Stargate. Hell, even Big Hurt is better than Teed Off.

4 weeks later
#1203 10 years ago

I for one actually like this pack better than the last one. HH is cool and all, but I get bored of it quickly and I really do not like Tee'd Off, and I am a Sys 3 fan. Sadly all of the best Gottlieb's are either licensed or are EM's which they do not like doing.

More System 11!! Fish Tales is sweet though.

#1332 10 years ago
Quoted from Kineticross:

Aaaand FarSight (surprise!) announces three more tables: JY, WD, and BK2K. STAND UP AND FIGHT!

Cool, those will all be welcome additions. Here's hoping for WCS94 at some point.

Anybody else finding the new build on iOS to be a buggy mess. I can't even get Black Rose to play without it crashing before you even shoot the ball. Disappointing.

#1376 10 years ago

Ok, I had to reset all of the settings on my iPad and now it is working fine. Weird, it was the only app having issues.

This season is shaping up quite nicely.

#1410 10 years ago

Is it me or are the ables starting to look worse and worse on iOS with each new release? They are very plain looking compared to some in the past such as T2 or even some of the early tables.

1 month later
#1420 10 years ago

Anybody figure out what the next table is? The clue is kinda weird. I am guessing Diner.

#1422 10 years ago
Quoted from Pinballwiz45b:

Junk Yard. Note the toast, which is used in the respective video mode against Spike.

Ah, I have never really played Junkyard enough to know that. Cool

#1424 10 years ago

I would be very happy if that were the case. I like both Diner and BSD.

#1429 9 years ago

I will happily take one pin a month as long as they keep them coming.

#1438 9 years ago
Quoted from Pinballwiz45b:

I have no idea. All I know is any type of Stern game (could also fall under Data East or Sega).

Could it be a classic stern? I would love to see Seawitch.

#1454 9 years ago

I do hope the the next table does turn out to be Lights, Camera, Action. A great system 3 game and one I would love to own.

Quoted from Kineticross:

The next table to be released is hinted to be High Roller Casino

Oh man I hope not.

Next up is Judge Dredd, pretty obvious speech from the pursuit mode as a hint.

Yup, direct quote from Dredd.

LAH is an odd choice for the first DE.

#2094 8 years ago
Quoted from Pinballwiz45b:

Phantom was the first Data East game digitized into Pinball Arcade. LAH will be the second.

Yup my bad. Still a weird choice.
