    Regardless, after having purchased the tables, when you go to update OR Re-download the app, your account shouldn't be charged again. I've done these things a bunch of times since I got the app and never have been charged a second time for anything. It IS a hassle to have to go through the motions and re-download individually, though. They should fix that. Also, the facebook thing, as I'm STILL having to play as a 'guest' after all this time! That's crap!

    For those of you who were complaining; it's worth noting that the farsight leaderboards are now working for each table! ;)

    well my issue seems to have resolved itself now. All my tables have reappeared in the app and seem to be working normally again... :)

    Well, just got the invoice for my recent ios purchases and guess what - I got charged twice for Circus Voltaire. $4.99 for the 2-pak, and then $2.99 for CV by itself. :rolleyes: Obviously in trying to get the tables to re-install after the recent update I must have hit the individual buy button by mistake and inadvertantly re-bought the table. I guess its sorta my fault :rolleyes: I'd like to try and get that 3 bucks credited back to my account which I would then use to purchase the last table I need (Creature FTBL)...but I've never tried to request a refund and can't seem to find a way to do it in itunes.

    l'il help?

    Just report a problem with the purchase and let apple know what happened; they'll most likely refund you.

    Had to logout/login again, but yes they are! The menu has an awkward inertia and loading dialogue, but it does work. It even seems to have recorded my high score on Monster Bash (#104 and the best placement I have on any of these tables).

    Can't believe some of the scores I'm seeing. Scores from the table packs look credible, but the original four tables look full of lies to me.

    Latest patch also fixed the slowdowns I was seeing in Arabian Nights. Thanks Farsight!

    Just in case anybody here doesn't know, the next table pack is announced, and Harley Davidson is the table coming with Taxi. Can anybody vouch whether Harley Davidson is any good?

    Also, the Kickstarter for Star Trek is only $10k away from reaching its funding goal.

    How are people doing in the GC leaderboard? I managed to claw my way up to #26 (so close to actually being on the board!), but I've since slid back to #41.

    I haven't been playing the iOS version much because the control with a touch screen is so much worse than with a console's controller. The game is way more fun on my 360, even though it's behind in releases. So I've been playing on 360. If somebody would make a stick on arcade button sort of like the Fling controllers (which I tried as buttons, but they don't help), that would solve (most) of the problem. They don't have to be full size, but they do have provide some resistance so you can rest your thumbs on them without depressing them. Surely somebody could start a Kickstarter for that. :) I'd be first to pledge money. :)

    Still waiting for the update with Taxi, which should be released this weekend.
    One Table in the next update will be "No good Goofers", not quite a favourite table of me.

    Cant wait for more tables, PA its a total trip through memory lane for me but I must say that Crystal Caliburn has spoiled me a little. After spending way too much time on that table Ive found the physics on PA to be a little on the bouncy/too light ball side, dont get me wrong I still love this game to death but I must take my hat off to the guys at LittleWing.

    One question, does the Addams family pinball is considered for this o no dice? I loved that obe back in the day.

    No good Gofers?? Hell, yeah! Played this table a week ago for the first time, it was standing next to a great Medieval Madness, but I spent all my money on the Gofers, totally fell in love with that table. So, good news to me! :)

    Already played the update on my android cellphone. Cant wait to get it on my big ipad screen. Taxi is great. Interesting at Harley is the additional button to raise a blocker between the to flipperfingers. The button is placed at the right
    Screen side a little bit above the bottom. Exactly, where the magma save buttons at black knight should have been. I hope, farsight will place the buttons for black knight there in an update. They dont make any sense on top of the screen.

    Here is the last official word on The Addams Family:

    "We love the Addams Family table, and we would be very excited to digitize and preserve it! However this table is an even bigger licensing challenge than the Twilight Zone or Star Trek: The Next Generation. We are working on identifying all the required licenses. We won't ask for money for it until we're sure we can secure all of the licenses we'd need to do it.." Source: See the Q&A section at the bottom here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1067367405/pinball-arcade-the-twilight-zone

    Then there is this tidbit that I believe is referring to The Addams Family:

    "...although we can't name names yet, we are very close to lining up all the licenses we'd need to do an extremely famous top-ten table. Stay tuned!" Source here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1067367405/pinball-arcade-the-twilight-zone/posts/248575

    So, it is very likely, but they will have to do a Kickstarter on it because the license will be too expensive to make it lucrative for them otherwise.

    On that note... they are getting really close on the Star Trek: The Next Generation Kickstarter... so anyone on the fence about contributing... now is the time... you can simply consider it a pre-order of the new table at a slightly higher price (but well worth it): http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1067367405/pinball-arcade-star-trek-the-next-generation/

    My two favorite tables of all time:

    - The Addams Family
    - Star Trek: The Next Generation

    I never really clicked with The Twilight Zone, but I backed it anyways in hope they would get enough last go around for Star Trek, and because I would like to become more familiar with TZ to see if it does grow on me (it can't be the #1 rated table for nothing). I'm backing ST:TNG too of course, and I'll be in for at least $100 if they do Addams Family.

    It has GameCenter. It has leaderboards. I kind of wish there were GameCenter leaderboards for each table, but I think the reason there aren't is because Apple won't let them add new leaderboards every time a new table comes out. But they can add achievements, and they do. All tables have achievements.

    On an unrelated note...

    I meant to mention this in my last post, but then forgot. For all the Addams Family Pinball fans (or those that want some insight into why this table is so well loved)... I started a thread over at the Pinball Arcade forums with some videos of the real table, and why I love the table, and a bunch of people chimed in with their words of affirmation about it too. Plus, I've been trying to keep the thread updated with any Addams Family Pinball related news:
