Hello FP fans !
The Optimus Nvidia GPU is pure crap when it comes to play VP.
FP seems to run smoothly, so I´m gonna give it a go after 6 years of playing excusively VP.

My question is : What are the 5 "MUST HAVE" FP tables.

I´m sure there are more than 5 but it seems a good amount for a start.

Thanks for feedback & any tip for newbie. dblthumb.gif

A choice is always personal and 5 tables ... this is not much
I like certainly much more than 100 tables FP ...

Here is a necessarily arbitrary choice ... :

-Road Girls Revisited (Blindmankind)
-Flame-reaper (anthias + Steve)
-Twilight Zone (rom + Francisco)
-Tron (original table) (SLAMT1LT)
-Indiana Jones (Glxb + Highlander)

and before long ...: Roll em up (Franzleo)

The ones I find myself playing the most are:

Family guy
Star Wars Force Edition
Addams Family Tribute Version
Indiana Jones
And the table you can only get from PM's

But all the tables listed so far are really good.

I find I prefer originals on FP more than the recreations. I prefer the feel of the recreations in VP more. I did forget about Star Wars Force Edition though, I love that game.

  • Favorite Pinball: A sucker for EM tables....

Posted 19 April 2012 - 08:55 PM

No mention yet of Dead Hunters, Big Bang Bar, and if you like older pinball with the EM reels, FP is THE defacto standard. I started on VP on my cabinet and was quite the snob refusing to load any FP tables. Today I have 136 FP tables and 100 VP tables. The FP tables just get played more. And for the purists who go on and on about the physcis -- look, we're discussing virtual pinball here. Neither program can match the physics of the real thing.

I quit listening and just started playing and I am so glad I did.

Some very unique talent shines brightly in most of the tables created by the author "sphere" who stopped making tables several years ago.

You want some fun EM's to play...I enjoy Slamtilt's mods of

Space Mission
Abra Ca Dabra
Old Chicago

And you shouldn't miss

OXO

or the early multiball table

Beat The Clock

There's a ton of great tables out there.

I have almost all Sphere tables since 2006.
Virtual pinball raised to the level of a multidimensional ART. Highly recomended to all. VP& FP versions !

Will try these EM for sure.

What about 5 must have Originals ?

Thanks for your feedback dblthumb.gif

Speaking of Deadhunters, this is the only table that does not work for me.
When I hit start the ball can not make it into the shooter lane. It just keeps trying to kick out over and over again.
Is this a known problem with a fix? Or is it just me?

I also had a problem with this table ....
I think it's best to use original "games keys and controls"
here will perhaps help you !?
