Looks like the latest tables just hit iOS :dance:

Harley Davidson/Taxi and Elvira and the Party Monsters/No Good Gofers

Trying to buy everything on my iPad and I get that restore owned tables and I enter my iTunes password and then it says I have to connect to the Internet to proceed, but I'm connected to the Internet? Another farsight problem?

I can purchase all the other table packs but pack 5 gives me that error.

When I try to play Taxi on my iPod Touch, it gives me the same error as everyone else but I can play Harley-Davidson just fine without downloading it. :confuoot:

Edit: Newsletter just went out, and the next two tables are Scared Stiff and Big Shot (finally, Gottlieb gets shown some more love.)

Reporting same error. If Farsight wasn't occupying such a tiny niche everyone would have given up on them months ago. This is awful.

I'm guessing the app came out but their servers don't have the updates enabled cause the older tables behave normally.

Taxi was updated in this update, so you'd need to re-download it.

These are up on Android and playing perfectly!

I am pretty frustrated that Black Knight/Creature still aren't out for Xbox, but having a plethora of tables for another platform, all of them extremely buggy, might be even worse.

The update seems to be working just fine on Android, which is great because Elvira and the Party Monsters is one of my all time favorite tables and this is a drat good version of it.

No Good Gofers has never been one of my favorites and this doesn't change that. The theme is obnoxious and the table is so cluttered it's hard to see where your ball is half the time.

And for the upcoming tables, Scared Stiff is an absolute classic and Big Shot... well, I'm glad to see more Gottlieb finally, and I'm glad to see older tables get represented, but this was never one of my favorites. Though I'm not sure what I'd replace it with... Haunted House is great but it's also basically just Black Hole+, and I love Genesis but it's not widely considered a classic or anything. Hopefully we'll at least get TX-Sector at some point.

Black Knight on PS3 has the two-level sensitivity on the flipper buttons and it's loving me up because I'm used to the PHoF version. Getting those upper flippers to work when I want them to is frustrating; I guess I should switch control to L2 and R2 for finer control.

Also why can't we get the PHoF smart cam in PA? PA is similar but not exactly the same and it makes Black Knight and Funhouse not as fun.

Nope, nothing said about Genesis other than me saying I'd rather have it than Big Shot, which we are getting.

Completely agree with this, it's very hard to make shots into the trapdoor on Funhouse on the Pinball Arcade edition. Not sure why they removed that functionality, but then again this is Farsight we're dealing with.

They must have fixed the issue by now, everything downloaded fine for me. Some menu issues on the new iPad but the tables are working. I gotta say I'm shocked they've included iPhone 5 support in this release.

I was shocked too. Honestly though it's almost worse for some tables because it makes everything so small. Creature is great on iPhone 5, but theatre of magic and Harley Davidson are too tiny. Angle changes don't seem to resolve this problem either.

So apparently the real No Good Gofers table's ramps are transparent blue, not opaque. That would make it a LOT easier to read, particularly the top flipper.

Is this just an issue on Android, or are the ramps opaque everywhere?

I've got them all and they all work fine. Been playing them for the last couple hours now. Pinball Arcade is seriously the most addicting game I've ever come across. So much nostalgia mixed within just great games. I'm actually looking to pick up a physical machine or two from the game if I can get the right price.

I recall them being transparent in PHoF. I'm not really sure why they aren't in PA as other tables have transparent ramps.

Yeah, the ball is much more bouncy. Plays nothing like a pinball, more like a superball. Get some odd games with it.

I had a somewhat similar bug in Harley Davidson. It was during multiball, so I don't know where the ball went, by it was my last ball and the ball search went on. I called for the attendant and it kept canceling it :argh:

I'm still learning my way around Columbus (Ohio) pinball, but I just found a bar that has both the AC/DC pin as well as Attack from Mars. Probably not that big of a deal for almost everyone on here, but this town doesn't seem to have a wealth of tables.

Anyone on here from the area that knows of any others in this area?

I've found 2 AC/DC, Avatar, Lord of the Rings, Attack from Mars so far. I also heard there is a Theater of Magic in the suburbs.

Shipping was included with the price, all in all, roughly $4400 shipped. Speak of the devil, I got my game from Ohio!

Awesome. If you figure any decent strategies to beat any of the villains on it, let me know. I'm okay racking up X-Men, but I haven't been able to crack any of the villain modes on X-Men at the nearby bar.
