Pinball Wizards of Sega-16

[gamevet]

Stern tables are garbage.

I like some of the Stern tables. The Playboy machine is pretty cool.

[Melf]

Addams Family is pretty good too, but it's always destroyed. The pinball machine is just not very durable at all.

You're telling me! The arcade I worked at had one, and it was ALWAYS busted. Sometimes the same day it was fixed.

That Terminator 2 game ruled, but I'd rather play the cutie standing next to it.

That reminds me, I think the Williams Pinball Collection comes out for Xbox 360 and PS3 this week. It has more tables than the Wii version and is dirt cheap, so pick it up!

Yeah, that has a decent amount of tables, and the PS3/Xbox 360 versions have Medieval Madness as an exclusive table to those versions, and that table alone is probably worth buying the game for if it's emulated right.

But the thing is, you can't emulate playing a real pinball machine in a video game. It just really isn't possible.

Ha, there was a broken south park pinball at this bar I went to a few months back. I liked twilight zone of coarse, elvira, and T-2.

The problem with real pinball is, that nobody bothers to balance the tables anymore. It's like they adjust the legs until the table stops rocking. I've just about given up on playing pinball in the arcades, because of how shoddy it is treated.

^I've had the same experience as of late. At GameWorks, mind you. Where everything's Sega-oriented. It's funny how they place the Pinball machines next to the kiddie section. No one bothers with them (to play them or to fix them, it's all the same). It's just sad.

[Baloo]

Gameworks is Sega-oriented because it's owned by Sega.

I wish the one near me didn't hadn't closed down, there's literally 1 arcade in the city left, and that's in a bad neighborhood.

[QuickSciFi]

I know. I can't believe I just learned that a couple of days back talking to Karakasa Obake. I was looking up Sega-oriented/owned theme parks and GameWorks showed up. I came to learn this after almost 10 years of visiting that place.

Also, what is the deal with this lack of arcades I'm reading about? We're shock-full of arcades down in Miami. And I'm not just talking about the obvious GameWorks or Dave&Busters conglomerates. You guys should come down here one of these days, then.

Come on Baloo, there must be bowling alleys or pubs with the odd functional pinball table.

Played the new Indiana Jones Stern table and it was AMAZING. I dropped about 4 bucks then and there trying to figure it out. The Crystal Skull ramp is sort of hard to hit, but when you get going it is a piece of cake because it sends the ball straight back to the left flipper and you can time it to loop.

I also learned if you hold down the left flipper after hitting the Holy Grail or Ankara stone it stops the ball dead and gives you an easy shot. Anyways, I found the map room once, opened the Ark twice and couldn't quite beat the swordsman yet... the map room was hardest and 8 ball Raiders multiball is insane. My best score was around 40,000,000 :/.

I also played some Addams Family. It's still awesome but hard to tone down after Indy. Did get into the Vault and got the 3 ball multiball. Great fun, got up to 80,000,000. I need to get back in shape though, I can seriously make some points in this game!

I think he meant arcade as in Dave and Buster's not one lone cabinet at the laundromat. I mean, come on, it's effing Philly.

One time I played South Park pinball in some seaside arcade place or other. It kept giving me so many free credits that eventually I just had to leave.

Best anecdote ever? :P

It was probably broken. Every South Park pinball on Earth is broken.
