KISS, Pokemon Pinball, and the NIGHTS pinball are the only ones I've ever played.

>> No.725416

well I was specifically referring to Gauntlet(4) for the MD/Genesis

I prefer the TG16/PCE version of the Devil's Crush music but to each their own

Played this bastard today! I've got to say, for as shitty as the band has been since AJFA, this is a fun table. Needs more Cliff though.

A bar nearby has one of these but it's typical routed bullshit with weak-ass flippers and the volume is so low you can't hear the music (some may say this is a good thing but it's a music theme) or call-outs.

This one's been in the family ever since the early 70's, still works fine aside from needing some new lamps. I found a Visual Pinball version of it the other day, managed to get so many free credits that I played for like an hour on just one game

I really hope the Timeshock! remake will happen/succeed.

>> No.728731

Just started playing TimeShock again this week funny enough. Got it on the Dreamcast Pro Pinball Trilogy collection.

Used to love Balls of Steel too.

Seriously want to take part in a pinball event, I want to place just to win a point to get on the pinball world champions list, however low. It just seems like a fun thing to do.

The Pro Pinball team is trying to get their series remade. Recently, they had a Kickstarter for remakes of their four Pro Pinball tables plus a new table designed by Lawlor, but it failed pretty hard, so they're now scaling it back to just the Timeshock! remake, and that Kickstarter has yet to be made. If that one succeeds, they can use the funds from sales to fund the other tables and such.

Unless you or someone in your area organized a tournament with entry fees and cash prizes, or you play for 1 or 5 bucks with your buddies.

Does anyone have any high scores they're really proud of? This is my personal best from back when my local bowling alley still existed. I played that fucking TAF to death - I think I must have made it to the Tour about four times in that one game.

i'm looking to buy the metallica pinball machine. pity that the master of puppets limited edition sold out in one hour. there are either too many metallica fans with too much money or they will be dumped on ebay. or they only produce 10 of them.
