The cool thing is you can load all the old Williams titles such as Theatre of Magic, Addams Family, or Medieval Madness. Tales of the Arabian Nights is a free game that comes with the program.

I built a pinball emulator out of an old wide body machine an a 46" HDTV. Plays 100+ tables. Always fun.

Got photos? Sounds awesome.

I finally saved the princess on Arabian Nights.

They got me to cough up $5 for Medieval Madness

 

[MindCrime]

I had this on my phone for a while, rediscovered my addiction for "Funhouse". Played it a ton, finally deleted it. Now, 8 months later, I see this thread and re-install the app.

Thanks!

Finally downloaded this thing. Played Arabian Nights way too long last night.

Freaking addicting for sure. Now I can't decide which table(s) to pay for. Twilight, Addams, or Top Speed.

If you are ever in Las Vegas (and many of you are), make sure to visit the Pinball Hall Of Fame. An old building off the strip that has dozens and dozens of the old classic pinball games. Most of the games are only 25 cents.

I went there last year and had a blast!

The Twilight Zone one plays and sounds exactly like the real one. Incredible sound and real gameplay.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Anyone want to post their high score on Arabian Nights?

Spoiler

97M

Which one would you guys pick out of these two? (I'm sure I'll eventually get both)

I'm an Addams Family guy myself, but can't go wrong with either one.

The sound is all from original ROMs, which can be downloaded. The game play, though, these guys are artists. They make detailed schematics & CAD drawings and turn out incredible stuff, mostly for free. The physics engine is pretty crude but they tweak everything by hand to get it just right. Real artists.

I'm amazed by the quality here. I've hemmed and hawed over buying a restored Addams Family over the years, but after seeing how good the quality of these games are... It would probably be cheaper and less maintenance to build a cabinet like the one you have and download a bunch of tables for it.

True. I also seem to remember that the TZ game play was awesome but a little overwhelming. Still trying to get the hang of playing on my iPad. Think I'll go with AF.

Yeah, a restored Addams, Twilight Zone, or Star Trek: TNG (my favorite table, ever) probably runs $5K to $9K.

I built mine for about $3K in spare parts. $1500 for the TV to replace the 46-inch I was cannibalizing, another $1K in PC bits, $300 for an empty widebody cabinet (plywood base & backbox, glass, legs, coin door, and the aluminum glass holds and the lockdown bar... an absolute steal at that price. The widebody lockdown bar alone probably goes for $100 on ebay, and a huge piece of glass custom fit would be another nice piece of change.), and maybe another $200 in hardware parts and paint.

Make no mistake, this is no substitute for the real thing. It's pretty good, and getting better (one of the latest innovations is hooking up and Xbox Kinect with face-tracking, so it re-draws the table perspective as you move your head), but it's still a computer game. It's just a really big one. There are plenty of add-ons you could install for more wow-factor, light systems controlled by the game ROMs are popular (most of the ones on YouTube have them). Another one I haven't gotten around to installing yet is tilt... you can wire up the tilt bob sensor to the keyboard emulator and send all the rattles and jolts into the game. I've got a basic one but it only goes in one direction (pushing straight out, as if kicking the coin door), but it's possible to wire ones on each axis. The only tricky part is getting it to register just one 'hit' when the electric contact vibrates dozens of times.

The software is finicky, but not too tough to get running. All the tables are free. You can give it a run with the instructions here: http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=tutorials&article=1

I'm hovering over that link. I feel like Morpheus is offering me the red pill or blue pill. I know my life will never be the same if I click on it. Must... Resist....

And great call on Star Trek: TNG. Fantastic table. That's probably #3 on my most-played list behind Addams Family and Taxi.

Quicksand, fumes, toxic waste... It's all ours!

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Anybody play Earthshaker on this thing?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I forgot what a PITA "The Power" is on AF.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Creature From The Black Lagoon isn't getting enough love in here. Really was a fantastic table.

 

[dickey moe]

Can you get Cyclone on this thing?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Can you get Cyclone on this thing?

Looks like it.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I've actually never played that pin.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Anybody else playing Twilight Zone?

Just tried the trial version. Lots of fun.

I had no idea the theme was about drive-in theaters.

Dammit. I've already bought two.

I asked because, while it is pretty awesome, there are a couple of things that just piss me off.

1. Is it just me or is The Camera really, f-ing hard to hit? I can nail most of the other shots somewhat consistently but The Camera is nuts.

2. It seems like any ball that gets batted around the bumpers on the left has about a 15-20% chance of being propelled directly into the left outlane. It's maddening. If I'm having a good game I don't even try to hit the red/orange/yellow zone so the ball isn't rocketed into the bumpers and down the drain.

Crap. Must have read it wrong. I need more beers.

Okay, must admit my 10 year old daughter and I "lost" about 4 hours playing this yesterday on the PS4, We played all the free trials on all the tables. Really fun game!!

My 5 year old 52 inch HD Sony Bravia died. My BIL came over tonight, he is an electrician and basic computer god and he said, you know we could fix this and sell it for $500 if we are lucky or this would make the foundations of one great Pinball MAME table.

Ughhh, wife wants the $500. I want to play pinball.

Update on Arabian Nights--my 10 year old daughter just kicks the crap out of me every time we play. I just seem to be a step slow on the left flipper all the time. How did the top scorers get 57 billion--was the over time or what??

It took me all summer, but I finally defeated the King of Payne on Medieval Madness.
