For some reason, I've never heard anyone who plays pinball talk about this machine. Who built it? Is it ever used in tournaments? It's almost like an imaginary pinball machine that everyone in this faggot thread posts all the time like it means anything.

So, according to dev posts on the TPA forums, both game-breaking bugs in TZ (camera getting fucked on multiball, game completely going FUBAR after LITZ while trying to restock gumball machine) should be fixed in the next version!

I can't stand pinball video games. None of them feel like real pinball. I don't get why it's so hard to make a pinball video game feel real. There are flight sims and driving sims that almost perfectly recreate the real experience of flying a plane or driving a car, but pinball is one of those things that has just never been done right.

Luckily, I not only own real machines myself, but I know several people who do, and know of plenty of places to play machines out in the wild.

Crushed that alpha-beta-gamma-delta sequence for you too, needed my 2 artifacts of each kind for my 2 billion bonus / 200,000 per shot.

Delta Quadrant is the Neutral Zone fool.

Or it's the ramp, whatever. I think of the ramp as gamma since delta should come fourth. Learn the spinner ---> delta ramp shot and you will know glory. The Picard Maneuver.

>> No.1775432

>>1775084
well I know the show before I played the table, they've been to(mapped) the alpha/beta and delta quadrants and only realized after I read the rules that DUH Gamma IS the neutral zone during that point in the show.

Believe me, we had more than enough dumbasses that didn't have a clue how to do basic computer things making dumb posts in the forums about how they couldn't install something as simple as VP (run installer pack, update VP and VPM, install scripts, add tables and ROMs, done).

I'm honestly not sure who's in charge of the installer. I think it's the boss man himself, and he's got a lot more on the plate than just the installer, hell, he can't even work on his tables anymore with all the shit he's got to do. That really needs to be outsourced some day.

Even then, the installer can be easily replaced by just installing VP and VPM separately, which isn't much of an increase in difficulty.

>> No.1779119

>>1779097
Appreciate the response, I was just sure there were many people that didn't want to take the time to install it that really do bitch, and no, it's not that hard.

Hell, maybe it'll keep out the idiots, which can be a good thing...

This obsession with "Wizard Goals" seems to obstruct actually learning rules and scoring strategies.

There's no Wizard Goal for holding two balls on the right flipper while staging the upper and repeatedly nailing Insanity Falls for Whitewater jackpots. But you can bet when you see Dutch Tommy, unrivaled Pinball Arcade master, clear 1 billion in a PAPA qualifier that he's demonstrating actual Wizard Goals. True skill.
