    No Fear is out. Nobody cares here anymore. They still keep releasing boring, average 90ties tables.

    Is your local leaderboard on the game all hosed as well? It tracks my global score in the game, but I'm not able to post to my local highscore. I see 5 "0" entries but my scores (well above 0) aren't posted nor are my initials asked for. So far it only appears to be an issue on this table.

    Just received their newsletter...
    While i'm not interested in the new tables, Fireball & El Dorado, i'm definitely curious to see Doctor Who come alive. Maybe you too?

    Kickstarter
    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1067367405/pinball-arcade-doctor-who

    I just raised my pledge from 10 to15 bucks, cos i want the access to the table operator's menu.
    (IF released on ios, it might cost $8 and $5 for the normal full unlock)

    No, it has just been giving me this weird message telling me to connect to the Internet even though I'm connected to the Internet, must be the new IAP not available message.

    Yeah, I'm hoping they add Fathom at some point. One of my favorites that I grew up with, although I would really love to see Farsight secure the rights for the Jersey Jack pinball machines. Those pinball machines are a marvel with the LCD display and all the bright lights.

    I have this on Steam but you're saying it has already dropped on iOS as well now?

    WATCH OUT!

    Big issues introduced with the new UI.

    While I kind of like the new UI, it has introduced BUCKETS of problems on Steam, and from only a quick glance of it here on iOS, I think the exact same problems carried over here. Take the Gorgar table, for example, the Player 1/Ball x info completely blocks the scoreboard!

    I also just noticed that when looking at the initial landing page for a table, the top top personal score listed is way off (like it's indexing another player's scores).

    The Thread is dead. Nobody cares if farsight is releasing new tables or not. Indy 500 wow! The wrong company bought the rights for the tables. They only want to make money, but have no idea, which tables are good and which are boring. I think, the project will be over soon. But please release eightball Deluxe and Paragon, before its over.

    Farsight is actually very busy working on Stern Pinball Arcade, it's currently only available for the Ocilus Rift but will be coming to almost every other platform. I'm really excited for this because besides Stern, there are only a handful of other companies still putting out pinball machines. And NO ONE releases machines with the frequency Stern does.

    Unfortunately most the launch tables for Stern Pinball Arcade are already available via this app but there is one big stand out table that I am super excited for, Tron Legacy.

    So there's something to look forward to.:)

    Edit: Also there are a lot of people who buy and love all these tables. My Dad and his pinball club being just one example. He and all the members buy ALL the tables on Steam on their PC and on their phones. Some of them including my dad have built virtual pinball machines with 4K monitors and actual pinball cabinets. So there are s lot of people who support this game but don't come on video game forums.

    To be honest,

    I love pinball games. Ever since I was a kid in the arcades. I do have this game. But the tables just cost so much for each one. I've always been drawn to the other pinball game, Zen Pinball, where the tables are a bit cheaper. I do understand this game faithfully recreates the tables it's just I can't pay so much for each one. I'm not a cheapskate. It's just I'd spend so much lol. Thing is you said Tron Legacy is coming? Now that I might have to buy.
