YES. Monster Bash tells us one very important thing: movie licenses aren't out of the question.


This is true, Farsight have said they are going after the license's for, Addams Family (which has a total of 13 licenses attached to it) as they said its just too much of an iconic table not to have in The Pinball Arcade. So theis means anything it fair game now then if they can secure both Addams Family and monster bash, mean Indiana Jones cant be far behind!

Am really enjoying this on the Ipad 1, if the DMD tables played about 10-15% faster they would be spot on. As above, Ripleys also seems to slow more than the other two.

My fave table is Black Hole which surprises me, maybe because it seems to play and look better. The lower playfield also works well. If they bring out Haunted House then that will kick some ass... smile.gif

I'm going to support these devs as things can only get better from here on out smile.gif

I'll believe it when I see it. I'm really tired of the Iphone/Ipad stuff always getting released first. Sucks!

Yeah i find the same thing. Partly cause I don't have it on my cab, so it's a "new" table for me.
But also the simpler layout/graphics of it are much easier to follow on smaller screens.

Oh and as far as how android tablets piss all over ipads, all 4 tables run quite well on my 1st gen iPad, I was even a little surprised.
On the iPhone 4, it's fun to have some tables in your pocket, but it's REALLY small to play on. (but maybe one more game of black hole…)

Also the tables load really fast. My early impressions of the thing are quite good.

but damn that re-entry gate!

I've heard some folks claiming tables like TOTAN feel floaty, but the last time I played a really well maintained and accurately leveled TOTAN it was surprisingly floaty in real life. I continue to think we're all used to real workd tables where the back legs have been yanked up and the front legs bottomed out to make up for "slow" play due mostly to lack of cleaning on the playfield. It's not uncommon to go to a bar or an arcade and see almost all of the tables off-level tilted forwards. I know I feel like several UVP tables play faster than I expect from real world experience at really well maintained facilities, like Pacific Pinball in Alameda or Pinball Wizard in New Hampshire.

Man do I want a cabinet version of this!
