And it IS good. The two or three people that keep coming up with these tables I just can't recall their names, but I simply can't figure out where they get the time. These guys are much better than anything TPA has EVER put out...<br />After my HD crash I lost not only my entire blues music library but my windows partition too, withy all my visual pinball tables :sigh:Doccus Rockus Maximushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946174462883827539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352121158026308384.post-54631938346637535352016-09-07T11:00:29.607+02:002016-09-07T11:00:29.607+02:00It's great to make a visual comparison and it&...It's great to make a visual comparison and it's obviously the most suitable for a visual medium but I would love a gameplay comparison for myself. That's imho the most important part of any game. I didn't notice the plastic covers in the PA version until you mentioned it. So I guess it didn't bother me while playing it. But you are right. It could have done with a more transparent version or with none at all. I guess it's a preference of team Farsight. If modding a table could be part of a pro version it could make it more interesting. Then it's a choice to leave the covers in or out.Marcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281487146296364330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352121158026308384.post-59929436575206086142016-09-07T10:57:19.865+02:002016-09-07T10:57:19.865+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Marcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281487146296364330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352121158026308384.post-92161483185218518682016-09-04T12:39:34.289+02:002016-09-04T12:39:34.289+02:00Many thanks Lars.

Microsoft Pinball Arcade was a Windows-only release and although I was aware of its existence I was not familiar with the details.Vasilis Grammaticoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06942584702198342388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352121158026308384.post-4137980182431314932016-09-04T10:46:05.834+02:002016-09-04T10:46:05.834+02:00There are at least two more pinball tables with tw...There are at least two more pinball tables with two different digital versions: Cue Ball Wizard and Haunted House.
