Thankfully I purchased them before they went bye bye. Still enjoy them on my iPad.

@@bensisneroz7027 I got them before they went bye bye, but I have to say this company kind of deserved everything that happened to them. They had a bad history of putting out broken things, and not fixing them. They also didn't listen to their fan base whatsoever, promised all new physics changes for everything and never delivered. They also put out Stern Pinball Arcade as a separate product, many like me paid for all the packs on it, and they left it with completely game breaking glitches on most the tables, without fixing it, then completely ended support for it and started selling the "fixed" tables on PBA instead. They are just a terrible company and it's very clear they are paying for it now.

Because FX3 exists and has completely stolen their entire audience.

Because Farsight studios is a garbage company and has done nothing but lie and give out excuses..... which is why they lost the licenses. 😂

@@Lucipher28 Farsight can stop making The Cheetahmen, but you can't remove The Cheetahmen from Farsight.

Who drives an hour and half just to torture themselves? The voices of the gophers alone are fucking annoying, the sound FX is even worse. One of the most annoying tables ever made.

I should note though, AC/DC should still be available in disc/cartridge versions of Stern Pinball Arcade.

@@pinballwiz45b Indeed. I ordered Stern Pinball Arcade for Xbox One and at first, the disc didn't work. I had to fully uninstall ALL files for Stern Pinball Arcade, then load everything off the disc, re-download patches, and I ended up with all three versions of AC/DC.

True... They still havent fixed the issue regarding the DX11 version not going into "Fullscreen Mode" and until that's sorted, I'm not picking up the packs.

@@CrowContinuum Probably to fulfill a contractual obligation to Stern.

Still waiting for them to fix Ghostbusters.... I can't even enjoy it on TPA cause the rom speed is so off (never mind it not being updated code wise) :(

FR, they could have made digital versions of Spooky and Jersey Jack. Even went for Atari or flipperless EM. Instead TPA is like the Ozymadius poem.

@Michelle O - yep. The whole situation with the Pinball Arcade makes a really good case for physical releases over digital. I mean, I know a lot of those tables that went MIA are either available through Zen Studios or they will be. But it's a disconcerting state of affairs!

@@CrowContinuum - it's a nice little package. I've not really dipped into it properly as yet because I'm glued to the Aliens tables in Pinball FX3!

Seems sad not to re-issue the EM tables these days.

@@CrowContinuum Any plans on a video comparing the philosophy and differences between the style and gameplay of Gottlieb/Zaccaria and Williams/Stern tables? I think that it would be really interesting to expose in a video the differences in design, mechanics and shots based on your personal experience. I feel a big breaking off between the classic tables and his neat, skilled and sometimes unforgiving gameplay, and the more complex gameplay, set of rules and long games in tables since the 80-90s decades. That historical evolution intrigues me... Is there any books or videos covering this? Thanks in advance

'Lord of the Rings' is complicated. I don't think it would ever be released. Mainly because there would be so many licenses to sign - in terms of music, names, etc.

@@CrowContinuum It would seem so, unfortunately. Sucks because the tables they produced were very realistic, as opposed to an arcade-like style of play.

Pinball Arcade has awful physics, has nothing to do with pinball at all. Zen Williams on classic arcade is where it is at as far as digital pinball goes. Pinball Arcade is like a collection of fanmade visual pinball tables, nothing more.

@@mindfloat29 I find that Zen's physics are just as bad, but in a different way. Neither "simulation" is a replacement for the real deal, but they are still fun to play on their own.

I'd like to play Funhouse on Nintendo Switch. But, only Android available. So frustrating!

You're right. For some reason I'm not into the FX3 versions. The physics are better but I'm just not feeling them for some reason.

Gotta love that physical people this is another reason why :)

I have a modded switch and I have 200 tables of pinball arcade. I love pinball 😎

@@CrowContinuum How are the tables that they are working on different? There was mention in the forums on Steam that the tables made by Jersey Jack, as an example, aren't possible with TPA. So I'm curious how the next batch of tables are different from what Zen has already released.. I remember a podcast that Zen Studios did when they acquired the Bally/Williams licence where they mentioned that tables requiring a secondary licence (such as a movie/TV tie-in) wouldn't happen until Volume 4 or 5. So, it's time for those to start appearing. Thanks for taking the time to respond. :)

Crow, Thanks for that! I didn't know there was a physical version. Definitely going to pick that up! I REALLY want to see Pinball Arcade come back in a big way. Hopefully with the resurgence of VPin interest due to Arcade1up and ToyShock making affordable replica solutions, maybe FarSight Studios will be able to make it back in that space. If they do, I want to see more Stern Music Pins come out (The Beatles, KISS, Metallica). vgv

@@CrowContinuum Hey thanks for the info. I've just had a look at Pinball FX3 and the graphics are so much better than Pinball Arcade! :-)

@@CrowContinuum Continuum Yeah, the Farsight Ghostbusters was just them messing around for fun, thinking it would sell. LOL A lot of this info I got from a former employee who I was good friends with. A lot of the time, the tables for a season were planned out, but for when a pack wasn't, others were just "We'll decide on a pack when the time comes". The main big tables were chosen by the owner, but a lot of the tables were chosen by Norman, the studio producer. A few tidbits for you: - "Starship Troopers" was chosen purely out of convenience. There was a table at a local pizza shop right down from the studio. - "Phantom of the Opera" was chosen because they couldn't get the rights to "Freddy" when they thought they'd be able to, and I had spent months beforehand begging my buddy and to Farsight on the FB page to get the table. On the day of the decision for that season's "Halloween pack", they were finally going to go with "Phantom of the Opera", but had trouble finding a good working table. The choice was going to be scrapped and they were gonna go with something else. (I forget what they had decided on) So, in a scramble, I told my friend to give me an hour or two, and I'd help them try to find a table that was close to them, state wise. I spent hours trying to find one online that was near them...and was able to find one. (Thank you, Google) So, you can thank me for that one. - "Rescue 911" was all me and my employee friend. I had played the table a few times as a kid and loved it, it was one of the few Gottlieb tables that I thought was fun, and my employee friend knew this, so he campaigned for it every single meeting when the discussion of "What's next" came up. The issue was that Norman HATED the table, and just refused to go with it. So, if you remember right, on the Farsight Facebook page, there was a crazy amount of daily requests posts, for MONTHS, of people requesting and begging for "Rescue 911".....a majority of those accounts were me. lol I literally spent about a year, using fake accounts, to request the table. In the end, they got sick and tired of seeing the daily posts and got sick of my employee friend bringing it up, so they finally gave in. Again, you're welcome. - "Lights, Camera, Action" was all Norman. For some reason, he loved that table, when most everyone in the studio HATED it. - "F-14 Tomcat" was another table that Norman HATED and refused to add until he got tired of the endless requests from the fans on Facebook and employees at the studio. He never understood why anyone liked the table. - "Swords of Fury" was chosen purely as a favor for my employee friend from Norman. My friend and I really wanted that table, and he spent a long while trying to convince Norman to choose it....even when Norman HATED it. (See a pattern of Norman's pinball taste here? It was awful) - "Cactus Jacks" and "Wipe Out" were another pair we both spent trying to convince them to choose, instead of having them pick their usual choice of a terrible Gottlieb table like "Lights, Camera, Action". My buddy would bring CC and WO up in meetings, and by this time, I was talking one on one with Bobby King, who was Vice President. I'd talk to him on Facebook here and there. - "Shaq Attaq Pinball", "StarGate" and "Freddy" were the main Gottlieb tables that my friend and I tried to convince Bobby to get, but apparently, all were too expensive of a license. The closest of the three they ever came to getting was "Stargate", but negotiations apparently broke down. "Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure" was their #1 table they tried to get for years, but they blew it on the initial phone call to the rights holders. On the initial call, Farsight apparently low balled them so much, they not only were denied, by all subsequent phone calls to the holders went unanswered or/and unreturned. lol This is usually how things went with Farsight. "Tales from the Crypt" was another one they spent years trying to get, but as we saw with the failed TV re-boot, way too many people held different parts of the licenses. - A few tables were able to be had because of a friend of Slash, who had access to a lot of pinball tables. If not, they used the Museum of Pinball to do the scans of the tables. - A lot of times, to get the licensed songs for the tables, they would just add them in and hope nobody would notice. I know for a fact they used a ZZ Top song without permission, and they used another one once (I forget what it was now), got caught, and had to write a nice little check. So there ya go, there's a few tidbits for ya!

@@Lucipher28 Fuck Norman. He has no good taste in pinball.

Crow Pinball Now that they’ve seemed to have migrated Stern tables to “Stern Pinball Arcade” and lost their thing with Arcooda and their cabinet mode I don’t see why they don’t offer it as a free add on. I’d still buy the tables for fun even though I know the physics aren’t great. I know there’s the free camera mod available for pinball arcade but it’s still a lot of messing about to get it fluid on my cab with PinballX. Just don’t have that much spare time.

I just made a quickie cabinet out of cardboard to hold a 22" LED, soundbar and Switch dock. Gives a more immersive pinball experience without going full virtual cabinet. twitter.com/KWHCoaster/status/1224361382902140929

@@CrowContinuum Right, I forgot about the season pass discounts. I was comparing to the price given to the lowest number of units that you could purchase at once, which since 2017 I believe was $5 a table.

@@CrowContinuum Play Asia has Season 2 with free shipping and they're good folk. A fan bought my discs for more and then another fan let me log into their account to play and review the delisted tables. There's ONE legal way (maybe) to get them all and that's to take a license on a virtual pinball machine kit.

@@CrowContinuum maybe, but the stern pack 1 & 3 is missing on the switch's eshop only. we'll see what the future brings us and how long zen could keep the williams licence. iam new in the "zoo" and choose the arcade on switch and fx2 VR on ps4 to play with :)

Yeah the Data East/Sega back catalog is sitting doing nothing I could see Zen releasing any licenced tables that they already have previous licenced product for i.e Disney/Fox/Universal from that back catalog.

@@CrowContinuum I play digital games with a locked camera view. Not having the camera locked and constantly moving is a little disorienting for me. The hang up with locking the camera is you lose depth perception sometimes. And, class of 1812 is a good example of not seeing the ball interact with the parts further back on the playfield. But, that's just something I noticed for myself from playing digital games and then the physical ones.

Zen's been sitting on their butt with the Williams/Bally license for 8 months now. Where's Volume 6?

@@Retro6502 I know I'm not even that interested in the ones Zen released so. I moved on to VPX.

Yes i just bought it and it's in the disc. Good content as always Crow. Bless

@@CrowContinuum this is where you and I seem to differ. Unless you have an iPad, I don't have Steam. I do have an iPhone. I couldn't find that EM pack on the main menu. I have version 8.1.10.

Pack #6 will likely be Cactus Canyon, Jack*Bot, and WHO Dunnit. BUT........... just stay tuned.

@@IndieGamerChick I get the feeling it might be a "Double Pack" to bring the table count to 20. But if Cactus Canyon does appear, fingers crossed it'll be the "Complete" version.

@@CrowContinuum I have tried it on two different devices, same issue. Maybe I've been unlucky then.
