    Sounds fun there in Germany, that pinball fest! Here in the US, some of you guys probably have been there or know about it, we have the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. At least 10,000 square feet of nothing but pinballs-all playable there! Newer stuff we want for this app here and vintage tables going back more than 40 years! Truly an incredible place! If you can't make it there, check it out online and try not to drool on your keyboards! It's open everyday, there in Vegas! Not to be missed!

    I'm not sure what you mean by "start rolling onto iOS", because there have been many iOS games that have gone the Kickstarter route already. Organ Trail was one, for example. Not to mention this TZ effort.

    I bumped up to $25 for the cause and to get that exclusive TZ ball usable in any game. :) I wonder if it will be a powerball, or just a design on a regular one?

    Same here. This app is amazing!

    And it's pretty awesome to see the TZ kickstarter up to 25K already.

    This is totally wrong... here is a Kickstarter link right on the TouchArcade home page:

    I loves me some funhouse!
    Have any other machines in your game room?
    The ones in my game room rotate in and out quite a bit!
    Currently living with me is:
    Pin*Bot
    Starship Troopers
    Also have a beautifully restored Ms. Pac-Man and a cabaret Missile Command

    Pinballs that have rotated through my house include:
    Big Guns
    Godzilla
    Super Mario Bros
    Jurassic Park
    Lost in Space
    And a few others

    I have friends who have HUGE collections so sometimes my house becomes storage for their machines! :)

    The really goofy thing is I think I enjoy working on them and fixing them more than actually playing

    Jealous! :eek:

    Always intended to get a cocktail Missile Command, but never could dedicate the room for it.

    I don't have any pinball tables, but I've got Tron, Xybots, Power Drift and a 6-slot Neo Geo MVS (and about 100 more JAMMA/MVS boards/carts)

    For a long time I had my brother's 4-player Simpsons (with most of the 4-player Konami boards on hand) until he moved out of the area...

    I've been down that road!
    Fortunately we have a three bedroom house and no kids or anything so me and the wife have our own separate playrooms! As long as the pins stay in there it's a happy household :)

    I have friends who have machines in every room in the house but NONE are married or have live in girlfriends

    The Missile Command is one of my friends!
    He came by over a year ago now and asked if I could keep it for a while!

    I must be the ONLY one who hasn't seen the Cirqus Voltaire multiple balls issue.
    Even friends of mine have had it happen but not me.... YET.

    The only bug I've hit is on Funhouse I like the static camera 2 or 3 depending on my mood. But when it goes into multiball the camera starts zooming in and out and all over the place and when the multiball is over the camera locks where erev it happens to be at the time until I hit the change angle button.

    Not game killing but annoying

    the multiball issue in Cirqus Voltaire (camera in plunger view with no ability to control the paddles) makes this table pretty unplayable right now... about every second of my games is messed up by this bug :mad:

    The guy who started the National Pinball Museum in Baltimore, MD USA (formerly in DC) use to have so many machines that he had no bed. He slept under one of the pinball machines. Amazingly the guy is married now. LOL. But I don't think they sleep under a machine. LOL.

    Something I would buy is a button equivalent of those fling things. No need for joysticks, just static cling (or however those attach) physical buttons for use with this game. I'd be first in line.

    I was thinking the same thing the other day.

    I think this thing died before it was ever really released, but something like this would be cool: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20024029-1.html

    No, they didn't. They said they'd add it in after we requested it, and it'll be out next month....so they're listening to the fans.

    It is a great app....this is pretty much all I play on my iPad these days.

    ? Your first 2 words are "great game" and your last 4 are "not that great anyway"? Dude, make up your mind!

    Ontopic: game center will come in the next update! Farsight promised that and they will deliver it! They don't bull...it!
    Keep in mind that they are a small company and they bring the pinball arcade to almost every platform. and believe me, that's a sh*tload of work!
    Best ios game by far!
    Keep up the good work farsight, i have faith in you guys!

    I haven't encountered any game breaking bugs but I do have trouble nudging with touch and swipe controls. They simply don't activate 3/4 of the time I try tapping or swiping to nudge.

    A small request (if someone can raise this to the devs): save HUD on/off option so I don't have to adjust it everytime I enter a table.
