Paul Faris art on Centaur is pure genius. I played a brand spanking new Centaur for several months at Sydney UTS back in 1982. I look forward to play the PA one when it is released and see how it compares.

May 24, 2013

      
Table Pack #14: Centaur™ and Pin·Bot™ has just been released today for iOS, Android and Amazon. You're going to enjoy these two classic tables! This update also includes great deals on all of the tables we've ever released.

The Table of the Month is Cactus Canyon™. You can once again play one of the greatest tables, ever made, and it's FREE!

Centaur (1981) was the first table selected by the fans to be added into the Pinball Arcade! Features unique to Centaur include the blue Guardian Rollovers, which were the first to include Outlane control, directed by the flipper buttons and the Equitable Multi-Ball. Centaur's outlanes offer a unique feature allowing a well-timed nudge to save the ball from draining.


      
Pin·Bot (1986) is a brilliant design from industry veterans, Barry Oursler and Python Anghelo. Players are challenged to advance to all nine planets in our solar system before reaching the Sun. The playfield features the Robot Visor which can be raised revealing two eye targets for you to achieve Multi-ball.

Check out our Centaur video on youtube:



We have released two great Season One deals for everyone on mobile and PSN.

These are the Season One Table Pack and the Season One Pro Pack.

The Season One Pack costs $29.99. Bought separately, these 18 tables would cost about $50. For the serious pinball fan, the Season One Pro Pack, at $39.99, is definitely the way to go. Our Season One Table Pack includes; Medieval Madness™, Bride of Pin•Bot™, Cirqus Voltaire™, Funhouse™, Monster Bash™, Gorgar™, Creature from the Black Lagoon®, Black Knight™, Harley-Davidson® 3rd Edition, Taxi™, Elvira and the Party Monsters™, No Good Gofers™, Scared Stiff™, Big Shot™, Twilight Zone®, Star Trek: The Next Generation®, Attack from Mars™ and Genie™ with the bonus of the Twilight Zone and Star Trek: The Next Generation custom balls.

This Pro Upgrade gives access to the Operator’s Menu, allowing you to change default settings, the ability to move the ball around the table at will and a mode that allows you to have your camera travel around the table. Also, bonus tips on playing the table from IFPA pinball pros.





NOW AVAILABLE.... Season Two Table Packs for mobile


The Season Two Table Pack includes all of the tables from Table Pack 11 through Table Pack 20 as they are released throughout 2013 for the discounted price of $39.99.

The Season Two Pro Pack includes all of these tables PLUS all available Pro versions of these tables for the greatly discounted price of $49.99!

We realize that there are those of you who have already bought Season Two content that may want to take advantage of the Season Two Pack discount. We would like anyone who buys the Season Two Table Packs or the Season Two Pro Pack that has also purchased Table Pack 11, 12, or 13 to email customer support for a credit for a future Table Pack. Thank you so much!



      
We are honored to be included as part of Sony's booth at E3 this year. We will be showing an enhanced version of the Star Trek: The Next Generation table on PS4. With next gen real-time lighting and reflections, the Pinball Arcade is going to look amazing! Please come by and check us out if you're in town for the big show.



Latest PlayStation News

We are now offering the Pinball Arcade launch pack of four tables FREE to Plus subscribers! The launch pack of great tables includes: Tales of the Arabian Nights™, Black Hole™, Theatre of Magic™ and Ripley’s Believe it or Not®.

If you’re a Plus subscriber and haven’t had a chance to try our games yet – what do you have to lose? These machines are all classics. The deep, well-balanced and challenging game play is totally worth checking out.

*This is for North American Plus subscribers; there was an earlier release European Plus subscribers.



Latest 360 News

We continue to work with the bankruptcy court and Microsoft to determine the best course of action for the Pinball Arcade and our customers. We are getting closer to a solution.

Once the Xbox situation is rectified, we will be offering discount packs to get you all of the great tables we've released over these past several months.

We realize that this has been a long, frustrating process and appreciate your patience.

Thank you for your continuing support!


The results are in!

The voting to add a Stern Classic table was very close, but the winner was Flight 2000 narrowly edging out Seawitch.

Flight 2000 features three Lift-Off stages and a very cool maze-like ball lock system. Be on the lookout for this fun and unique Stern table, we'll be adding it to the Pinball Arcade later this year.

Check out this classic table on the Internet Pinball Database:

Custom Balls can be used on any table. To change your pinball to be a Custom Ball, select Extras from within the Options of any Table Menu.

We are working with Sony to determine the best way to get the PlayStation winners their customs balls. We will update you once we know.

Thanks to everyone who participated!
After being told that he was going to be Table of the Month, the normally cool Dr. Dude spun out the front door to the local tavern. Can you guess which two tables will be in Table Pack 15?

Table Pack #15: The Champion Pub™ and Whirlwind™ has been released for iOS, Android, Ouya, Google Play, Mac and Amazon. You're going to love these two amazing tables!

The Table of the Month is Dr. Dude and His Excellent Ray™. For this month only, you can play this fantastic table for Free!
The Champion Pub (1998) The Champion Pub features a punching bag that rotates a 180 degrees to reveal an irate boxer, ready to rumble. You control the fight with ramps leading you to body-blowing punches or strikes directly in your opponent's face. There's also a mini-playfield where the ball is launched at a speed bag and you use the flippers as your own plastic fists! There's even a jump rope where you jump the rope using a button-controlled switch.  "I'm O'Brien, and theses are me knuckles!"


Whirlwind (1990) This Williams machine is another great Pat Lawlor table, the same designer of such classics as the Addam’s Family and Twilight Zone. This theme engulfs you in a storm chaser’s fantasy. Feel the Power of the Wind! Whirlwind blows wind in your face with a special fan once the storms begins, and includes spinning disks, cellar holes, drop targets and additional features to challenge you.
Check out our Table Pack 15 video on YouTube:



We've launched a new Kickstarter campaign for the Terminator 2: Judgment Day® pinball table. This great Williams® table is a Steve Ritchie masterpiece, and is unquestionably one of the greatest pinball tables ever created.  T2 was the first table designed to have a DMD! It was the first table to feature a video mode and the first with a ball-firing cannon.  The table has great features based on an awesome movie, and of course, it has Arnold!

The money raised through this campaign will fund the cost of the licenses needed for the table- if it succeeds, we will front the cost of development.  Please help us bring the great T2 table to consoles and mobile devices for a whole new generation to enjoy! 

Click on the link below to view the campaign (and see a cool video about the table):

FANTASTIC article in Pinball Magazine vol.2 about the company FARSIGHT who created Pinball Arcade.
Worth a read and see how good this company is for pinball globally.
Some great NEW inovations coming to merge real pinball and emulated pinball including duel releases with manufacturers, pre-releases to see how the game will sell etc.etc
Can not wait for the PS4 release as it looks spectacular.
Well done Pinball Magazine for introducing this style of pinball to the unbelievers  ^^^
Wonder what they will do in issue 4? and what will Pinball Arcade come up with next? WOO FRIGGIN HOO  $#$

Would this news affect future output?

http://www.trueachievements.com/n13990/the-pinball-arcade-is-now-delisted-from-xbla.htm
probably a microsoft thing? ( we all know how Bill Gates works- MONOPOLY) can you advise wether it is still there if you have an xbox? might be something to do with the next gen coming out? guess there is only 2 companies that really know hey?
all other platforms are fine
read the article in pinball magazine volume 2 and more will be revealed with an unbiased opinion I guess from a 3rd party.
Perfection take time ^^^

Nice video find mate  ^^^
I have played GoinNut's on another emulator and it is truly classic design with interesting rule set based on time achievements which lets you play longer ( similar to Safe Cracker)
Never played flight 200 but looks way cool

http://pinballarcadefans.com/showthread.php/4587-My-Pinball-Arcade-Cabinet-(iPinCade)/page3
Very cool if you like playing on an iPAD with very small screen ( not for me though) I chill out and play on my PS3 through the sound system and on a 50" screen in HD, firkin AWESOME
It is funny that I play RBION on my PS3 and look at it in the kitchen (and Vice Versa ) cool game and great in both formats although on Pinball Arcade it is a lot easier me thinks

on the ps3, is there a setting to rotate your screen to potriat if you wanted to make a pinball cabinet?

here is a video of the icade which is compatible with pinball arcade
utoplay=1&rel=0

A guy basically took the icade and pulled it apart to make a little cabinet and said it was a improvement to play over touching the screen - just a fun little project

the buttons are further back for comfort of playing - big hands on a little cabinet.

second set of buttons on the side are for nudging

It was this game that got me into PinBall. I went from purchasing all the table packs to this month being an owner of an actual physical machine!

Scratch that, come this saturday I will own two physical machines :)

Farsight might not always put their best foot forward, but their product got me in the door of PinBall and for that I will always be thankful. Without it
I may never have even looked into pinball.
