    As we all know by now, The Pinball Arcade is going to be getting rid of their Bally & Williams games due to their license expiring on those games. Now in my opinion, digital pinball just doesn't compare to the real thing, but what TPA did so well was explain how to play each game. All titles come with very detailed instructions on how to play each game, and how many points each target or mode scores. If TPA has to stop publishing these titles, we are going to lose out on all of these nice instructions. I was playing NGG last night, but was a bit confused on certain scoring for certain things. I went to reference TPA because I know they will be able to explain all the scoring features. But again, if they get rid of these games, we will no longer have that to reference anymore.

    So far I have grabbed a shot of each instruction for NGG and compiled them in Google Photos. I will paste a shared link to other albums as well for everyone to reference. I'm not sure what the best way to share each game and it's instructions but at least this might be a start. Maybe there is a better website for photo sharing, or some place we can keep all these games and their instructions nicely organized.

    Quoted from mjalexan:

    Would it be easier/quicker to do a video of the tutorials?

    There are YouTube videos out there but not for every game. It's kind of what prompted me to do the Gofers one in the first place.

    In all honesty I really just wanted to preserve these rules and instructions for myself, but figured why not upload these for other people to use and enjoy. I'm working on Whirlwind right now and will hopefully have that up soon.

    I don't own any of these games on TPA, I don't like digital pinball as much as the real thing, so this is my way of preserving them for their valuable instructions.

    Quoted from dookski:

    I was under the impression that if you've purchased the games, you will have them as long as you want them.

    Yes if you purchased them you keep them. But I have not purchased these games and I still want to be able to reference their instructions.

    I could possibly work on the entire rule set for Indy 500 if you want.

    Or if there are any other requests for any other game(s), let me know.
